I bought a VCAN Blinc 210 when they were first introduced over a year ago. Sadly, even even the new ones suffer from the same poor performance. The shield didn't seal, or even make contact with the seal on the helmet causing a LOT of noise. The helmet itself is LOUD, and the volume on the bluetooth receiver is very poor. The initial advertising, and even the FCC registration for the electronics state the bluetooth is a2dp stereo capable, which it is in fact..but they didn't plug in a second speaker!2 months after I bought the helmet, it was knocked off my counter to the floor (about 30" drop) and the liner separated from the shell.Be advised, this helmet is marketed under 3-4 different brands that I am aware of. The bluetooth module is the identifier, as it is manufactured by the same company that actually makes the helmet shell.Click Here to see more reviews about: VCAN Blinc 210 Gloss Black Extra Large Bluetooth 1.2 Enabled Full Modular Street Helmet
Product Description:
Stay in touch while riding the streets in style with the VCAN 210. This modular helmet comes fully equipped with Bluetooth 1.2 technology to ensure compatibility with your Bluetooth enabled cell phone. With up to four hours of continuous talk time and 100 hours of standby time, the V210 allows you to use your cell phone, listen to stereo music streaming from your MP3, phone, or XM radio, as well as listen to GPS directions clearly (incoming cell calls automatically override other communications). Combine two or more V210 helmets, and enjoy communications from rider to passenger, and passenger to rider (Intercom), or talk bike to bike (2-way communications within 30 feet). Other features include a noise cancelling mic, full duplex communications with DSP Filter, self adjusting volume, glove friendly and waterproof controls. Multifunction LED indicators let you know when your battery is low. When this occurs, simply use the 110v/220v charger included and you will receive a full charge in just 6 hours. Though the V210 is hot on technology, the primary focus is safety. This DOT approved helmet is constructed of ultra light thermoplastic material and is aerodynamically shaped for ease of cutting through the air with less buffeting and wind noise, thus lessening the stress on the riders neck muscles after a long ride. The face cover lock mechanism exceeds expectations for safety by utilizing metal pins and hooks, making it extremely resistant to opening in the event of an accident. The flow through ventilation system helps keep you comfortable, while the anti-scratch, quick release and sun visors help keep your perspective clear. The inner lining is fully removable and washable. The V210 comes in 5 different sizes and 5 different designs to fit you and your personality perfectly.
