Does it defeat the beauty of a tailor made setup?
If it’s aesthetics your worried about then it perfect.
If it’s delivering value in the form of clear communication music and intercom. IMHO then there are better solutions but they don’t look as nice.
Oh but it’s integrated there’s less noise cause there’s nothing sticking out the side of the helmet, well I don’t hear the noise from the 20s with earplugs or custom audio plugs And I can still communicate clearly up to 130mph on the autobahn!!
Forget that with the srl no noise from external protruding intercoms, it’s got well positioned speakers that fit close to your ears, but you won’t hear anything unless you wear no ear protection, then even with the volume at max you won’t hear anything at 130mph cause of the wind noise.. still if you want to hear it will improve your mpg cause you need to go slower
and don’t let any other riders out of sight or the comms has gone!
I’d love to know why the range is so crap given it’s a 20s inside... perhaps it’s something to do with the install in my helmet I don’t know. I could hack the srl to allow me to use my audio earplugs. But then the range and charging are not as rich as the 20s or other solutions. I’d be keen to see a 20s fitted to the helmet. So I can decide if I want to sell the srl. And go back to the 20s. Or perhaps move to another manufacturer.
In the end the value in any of these comes down to where you see value.
You pays your money you takes your chances. Good luck on your choice.
