Good to know: Making phone calls while driving
If you have a motorcycle headset and mobile phone connected, you can also take phone calls while driving. A motorcycle headset with voice control also allows you to make calls yourself. However, it must not be necessary to take the mobile phone into your own hands and operate it. This would be even more dangerous on the motorcycle than it is already in the car.
Attention: We advise you to refrain from making phone calls during demanding maneuvers. Concentrate fully on the ride if necessary.

How do motorcycle headsets perform in the Stiftung Warentest test?
For many consumers, the judgment of Stiftung Warentest represents an important orientation in the purchase decision. Unfortunately, the experts of the consumer organization have not yet chosen a motorcycle headset test winner. However, they have carried out a detailed test of motorcycle helmets.
The most important aspect when choosing a suitable motorcycle helmet is – in addition to safety – the optimal fit. If the helmet is neither too loose nor too tight, it is just right.
A motorcycle intercom system requires additional space in the helmet, keep this in mind when choosing the helmet. If your helmet feels quite tight even without an intercom, comfort can be compromised by a motorcycle headset in the helmet.
