Motorcycle Intercoms: How to Choose Yours

An intercom transforms the motorcycle riding experience: you take calls, listen to music and GPS directions, and talk to your passenger or the group — all without taking your hands off the handlebars. With so many models, which one to choose? This guide helps you decide.

What it's actually for

A helmet intercom gives you, hands-free:

  • Phone calls without stopping or taking off your helmet.
  • Music and GPS navigation by voice, straight into your helmet speakers.
  • Conversation with your passenger, helmet to helmet.
  • Group communication with other riders, several metres away.

Solo or as a pack of 2?

To talk to your passenger or another rider, you need a unit in each helmet — that's why packs of 2 exist, better value than buying two units separately. If it's just for you (calls, music and GPS), one unit is more than enough.

What to check before buying

  • Range — the further it communicates, the better for group rides; for your passenger, any model will do.
  • Battery life — the hours of talk time and standby it holds on one charge, important on long trips.
  • Water resistance — essential so you're not caught out in the rain.
  • Pairing — how easily it connects to your phone and to other intercoms, even different brands.
  • Ease of use — buttons you can find with gloves on and voice commands.

The brands we carry

At Motorvisor you'll find intercoms from EJEAS, Fodsports and Mornystar, single or in a pack of 2. See all models and compare range, battery life and price.

Installation: easy on any helmet

They all come with a microphone and speaker kit and fit in minutes on almost any helmet — full-face, modular or jet. The unit attaches to the side with a clip or adhesive, the speakers sit against your ears and the microphone sits in front of your mouth. No tools needed.
