Purchased due to malfunction
It has been about 2 years since I purchased Income. I bought it to try it out because I was the only one who was having trouble with Noise when I was using it.
I was hoping that it was not a malfunction of the Body, but when I tried to use it, I was able to hear it properly.
I think the cause of the failure is that Helmet was used with the speaker left inside even when Income is not in use. Considering the heat during the summer, it may have been a state of considerable overuse.
So you might want to leave it off when not in use.

For the use of Income.
I have been using a btx2 pro s with a SZ-RAM4 and bought it with Speaker so that I could use it with my new SHOEI Z-8. I was so attached to the SZ-RAM4 that I couldn't bear to retire it, and since I would likely want to use Jet in the hotter months, I decided to keep it too. I decided to keep it, and the question arose as to what to do with Income.
When using Income, the Microphone is available in Included Parts:for full face, and it is sufficient to use the unused one in Included Parts:for the mounting Clamp, but the Speaker and SlideMount need to be replaced or newly prepared each time they are used. However, the Speaker and SlideMount need to be replaced or newly prepared each time they are used.
I thought about changing the Speaker and SlideMount for each season, but I decided to purchase the Speaker and SlideMount because it is troublesome to take off the interior and put on and off each time, and if I just attach the Body, I can use different Helmets depending on my mood. I decided to purchase a Speaker and a SlideMount.
For installation, we decided to use double-sided tape to attach the outside of the clamp, which was not used in the Included Parts:section, to the helmet, but the SlideMount, which we purchased additionally, does not come with two screws to fasten it to the clamp, We had to think of a way to fix it to the Clamp. At first, I was thinking of using one screw for each SZ-RAM4 and Z-8, but I didn't want to damage the screws by applying excessive force, so I decided to prepare screws. However, this was not the Size sold around the corner. I had to buy a clamp to attach the screws, and it cost about 2,000 yen for two small screws. I had no choice but to use the regular screws for the Z-8, and for the SZ-RAM4, which is likely to be used less frequently, I removed the Clamp once, removed the Screw holder from the Clamp, and fixed the SlideMount to the Clamp with 2.5mm diameter Screws and Nut to make it ready to be used. The Clamp was removed and the Screw holder was removed from the Clamp.
As for the wiring, in the SZ-RAM4, the wires were placed inside the helmet, crossing the edge of the helmet, so it was necessary to protect the wiring from damage when the helmet was placed on the ground, etc. In the Z-8, the wiring could be pulled inside the helmet without passing through the point where it hits the ground, etc., so no protection was needed. However, with the Z-8, it was possible to pull the wiring inward without passing through the point where it hits the ground, so no protection was needed, and the wiring was well concealed, making it look very refreshing.
After installation, it works fine and I can now use Income on my Z-8. For this gold price, I would like to see at least a Screw included in the kit.

I am using btx2 pro s with SZ-RAM4 and bought it with Mount to be able to use it with my new SHOEI Z-8.
SZ-RAM4 has been in use for about 8 years, and it was time to retire it, but we decided to keep it because we were attached to it and could not bear to throw it away, and also because we would want to use Jet in the hot season.
In order to use the Income, the Microphone is available in the Included Parts:for full face, and it is sufficient to use the unused one in the Included Parts:for the Mount, but the Speaker and SlideMount need to be replaced each time they are used or prepared anew. Speaker is attached with Magic tape, and there is a spare tape included, so I thought about changing it every season, but later I thought it would be too much trouble and I might leave it on one side or the other.
The Z-8 has a recess for mounting the Speaker and a cutout to release the Wiring, kindly designed with Income mounting in mind.
The recess for mounting the speaker has a diameter of more than 40mm, and this C1294.10 would have fit just fine if it were a normal round type, but since the body is egg-shaped, it was a shame. By the way, it did not fit into the recess, and the One Side floated. It doesn't hit my ear and Magic tape seems not to come off easily because it is half attached, so I will use it as it is for now.
The sound level is sufficient for listening to music while riding a motorcycle. I was not dissatisfied with the sound of the SZ-RAM4 I had been using, but with the new Z-8, perhaps because the speaker is closer to my ear than with the SZ-RAM4, I feel that the volume is larger and the wind cutting sound is less and much quieter, so the sound has been improved. I felt that the sound was better.
I can't wait to go touring with my new Helmet.

This is my first Income.
I was looking for something that could be connected to other companies and have good sound quality when I occasionally play mass twos since my basis is solo.
I bought it on the day it went on sale with a bang, and I think it performs quite well for the price.
Connecting to other companies is a hassle, but I'm always with a certain person, so I just register and leave it at that.
The sound quality is great, not only because of the speaker performance, but also because the other party can hear the Wind Cutting sound on the Income call, but not nearly as much as a normal conversation on the phone, Microphone performance is also good.
The Speaker cover is not sold only for the Speaker cover, and the Sponge cover has been cut off and is bare and painful.

His voice is very [Color] Clear
I used to use an inexpensive Income, but at speeds over 80 km/h, I couldn't hear what the other person was saying, and it was almost useless when touring on the highway, [Color] I can hear what the other person is saying in Clear. In this respect, I am very satisfied, but I wish it had a longer range. On highways with good visibility, it is very large and strong, but in towns and mountain passes, the signal is only about one-fifth of what it is on highways with good visibility, so it cuts out halfway through the trip.

Easy to understand and use
[How is it used?
Main is solo.
I sometimes go touring with my friends, but when I do, it's on line or discoed, so I wasn't particular about Income's model.
Was the one you received as per Image?
The design of the body was stylish and good.
Was the installation difficult?
Helmet is SHOEIX-15, mounted with Double-sided Tape.
I think the basic installation method is the same as the general Income, but the Antennas for Radio are separate. I installed it to crawl inside the Helmet, but the Radio is almost Noise….
Also, I personally didn't feel comfortable with the point where the Cable and other parts of the Helmet were brought outward from the inside of the Helmet, so I cut the interior in two places with Scissors. I am just not very good at it.
How was your experience with it?
I did not read the Instruction Manual carefully, and when I first downloaded the app and connected it to Income, my phone and Income did not connect via Bluetooth.
I deleted the app once and connected my phone to Income first, then linked it to the app and it worked.
It claims to be a spatial audio system, so the songs on my phone sound beautiful and the sound quality is good.
I tried to call my friend on line, but the other person's voice also sounded like a hadrill and [Color] It sounded like Clear.
Siri on the iPhone also recognized our voices, so there seems to be no problem with voice input.
I am not aware of it, but the automatic volume control is also very good for what it is.
Button operation is simple, and the large size and placement are easy to understand, so I quickly got used to it.
Battery lasted long enough to be left connected all day for two days.
But, as mentioned above, Radio is almost like Noise.
[Included Parts:were they on?
I think it is necessary and sufficient.
There was also a Speaker-like device attached for sound effects, but I decided not to install it because I thought it would get in the way.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
Navigation voice, for example. 700 Meter ahead Right. if you think that ... …Meter ahead Right. It's not always the case, which is a bit of a mystery to me. You can tell by looking at your phone, but I was a little disappointed.
Also, I feel that the buttons are a little difficult to press due to the design, but I do not think it will be a Large Minus as there may be differences in personal preferences and individual differences.
All in all, I'm glad I bought it.
It is also helpful that the officials have uploaded a video on YouTube about the setup.
Personally, I find it functional enough and the sound quality [Color] Clear and well audible.
There are some disappointments, but I have no regrets.
I have also used Cardo, which is in the more expensive category, and while the voice input capability is great there, I have found it disappointing and feel that there is no Large difference in basic features.
It is gratifying that MidLand's Income was the first to support the new OBI standard, and we hope that more IncomeManufacturers will support the standard in the future.

replacing by buying something new
I purchased the mounting Clamp I was using because it had finally cracked after being reupholstered so many times.
I have also used a clamp that is inserted into the helmet, but two of them became useless due to the lack of strength of the plastic where it is inserted into the helmet, so I chose to use the double-sided tape attachment method.
The adhesive strength of the new product is as strong and secure as you would expect.

Cost-effective in terms of performance
I used the famous ones, but bought the BTX2 PRO S for my sixth one.
I was using MIXER to connect my phone, Navigation and Radar to A2DP, but decided to purchase DualTipMODEL because it was very difficult to use.
When we looked into it, we had two choices:the B+COM higher-end model and the less expensive BTX2 PRO, since the price was different from the LargeKiku model and we had had a bad experience with B+COM in the past.
It is not as easy to use as the DT-01, but I am very satisfied with its functions, such as FMRadio and 10 hours of battery life.
I have had no problems with certain products running out of battery earlier than Spec.

Regret buying it.
Buy it and you will regret it. mesh connection unstable
The power supply has been turned off many times, and even after sending it in for repair, there has been no improvement at all.

Amazing progress of Income
My HelmetIncome history started with B+ComMusic in 2016, and I have purchased Sena3S and Chinese Income in addition to B+Com. The Chinese Income was out of the question in terms of its operability and construction, but both B+Com and Sena caused ear pain after a certain amount of time, and I thought it was inevitable due to their construction.
Next, I purchased AddSound, which I am using with great pleasure and which should never hurt my ears. This is a system that vibrates the shell outside the helmet to deliver a resonant sound to the ear, and because of its nature, it requires a certain amount of weight.
However, I wanted to make phone calls and group calls, and I wanted to see what it was like.
Compared to the previous IncomeSpeaker, the thin Refreshing Speaker fits perfectly in the Speaker Hole of the SHOEIZ7, and its thickness does not touch the ear, so it is not likely to cause earache. And yet, the audio is easy to hear and all responses are crisp and clear.
I thought there would be little progress in the product because it is a dead Technology, but it has progressed in its own way and I am comfortable with my purchase.
The only drawback is that the Edge design extends to the Button as well, so I feel a little pain in my finger when switching on/off, but it's not that frequent so I don't mind.

To replace Helmet
Used with MIDLAND BT X2 PRO S.
I bought this to port Income when I bought a new Helmet.
It includes the base in the image, 4 Screws, and a HEXWrench.
BT X2 PRO S also has a Clamp type pedestal, but in the end, this Paste Type attaches securely & SMARTLY.
As long as it is properly degreased before application, there is no risk of it peeling off.
The last one was used for less than 3 years. It was stuck on without any sign of peeling off.
(In addition, the paste surface is slippery Type.)
In order to follow the curved surface, joint parts should be bent and Habit attached before pasting.
The adhesive is very strong, so it is necessary to warm it up before removing it. It is recommended to warm it up before carefully peeling it off. It is recommended to warm it up before peeling it off.

Design is good
This is my first time to use Income, so I can't compare it to others, but I find it complicated to use, and I need the Instruction Manual every time I press one or two buttons. (^o^) I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually.
SHOEI's X14 has ear holes and Just fit. I would like it to be a little deeper.
Three of us bought the same bt-t1 and want to make Group calls, but we don't know how to do it and still can't connect. (LOL)
It can be removed by One-touch, which is good for theft prevention.

If you can connect two BT devices, why didn't you make it possible to use A2DP for both?
Alternate from BTX2 PRO S.
The Button is Large and the projection is easily recognizable, so operability is not a problem.
The new installation method, attaching the Body to the Base is good, but the Button for removing the Body is too small and difficult to operate.
At least it is impossible with Gloves on. Even with bare hands, the Switch is hard and my fingers hurt.
Why should I have to go through the pain just to remove the Body from the Base?
Regarding functionality, there are two BT devices that can be connected, but the Profiles that can be used are
A2DP/HFP compatible Bluetooth devices can be connected to the?Button.
Bluetooth devices supporting HFP/HSP can be connected to the Button.
He said
Why not just make it possible to use A2DP for both the normal...
Speaker did not feel notably better.
However, it's not harder to hear than the HiFi version, but it's neither better nor worse, just normal.
Compared to the BTX2 PRO S, the only Merit is BT5.0 and RCF, so I don't think it's worth replacing it.
I honestly think I should have kept the BTX2 PRO S.
So I am less satisfied.
Honestly, I want to return it because it is so disappointing lol.

The sound is really good.
Replaced a Chinese Income after 3 years of use, and the surprisingly realistic sound is perfect.
Installation should be easy if you are an experienced installer.
Pairing with Income from other companies is explained in the Instruction Manual that comes with the product.

Please be sure to download the various features, how to set it up, and if you bought it.

Small Type and Cool!
The sound quality is very good with a Stereo feel, and I think it sounds very realistic!
If I may say so, in my case, I have a full face, and if I don't attach the Microphone in a proper position, it often hits my lips and bothers me.

Comparison with BTX2-PRO S
The Base installation was performed with the newly adopted (Maybe) The speaker is attached securely to the X14. The speaker is attached firmly to the X14's recess. The wire for FM Radio has been added this time, but it is quite long and it says to wiring as straight as possible. For those who don't usually listen to FM, it's just depressing.
The thickness of BASSCushion is quite thick, so it presses on my ears, but since it is designed to increase the fit of the speaker, it can't be helped, but I will have to be patient until I get used to it.
The operation feel is only better than the previous model. However, the button arrangement for volume adjustment has been changed to "+" in the forward direction and "−" in the back of the head, which makes it easier to operate intuitively. The previous model was the opposite, so when the volume was turned up, the sound was always made smaller. Also, the direction to press the Button has been changed from sideways to downwards, so it is easier to press.
The sound is good. I can feel the flow of the times. I listened to one song to try it out. (The song is attack on titan by the way lol) I listened to it all the way through because the sound was so good.

Sound quality is fine for listening to music
Can hear conversations well. No problem at high speeds. Not used in the rain, so water resistance is unknown.
It is nice to see that Button is now easier to press even when groping.

Speaker hole for Small Helmet
I bought this speaker because the standard speaker of BTX1PROS is too large to fit in the speaker hole of ZENITHHelmetYJ21.
It is thicker than the standard Speaker, but it fits Exactly in the Speaker hole and I am satisfied with it without any discomfort.
It is sufficient because I am not particularly concerned about sound quality since my main use is to listen to Navigation audio and to make calls on my smartphone.

This LED light is Compact in size and easy to carry around.
It is just right for use in Camping touring.
The brightness is bright and solid, and it seems to be durable.
