Uclear Helmet Comm System
While checking out the local Cycle Gear store this weekend, I asked one of the sales staff about helmet comm systems. He recommended the Uclear system, which was on sale for $400 for two units. He said he had good experience with this system, which supposedly has only been on the market for about 6-7 months. I have to admit I'm a bit skeptical when it comes to store sales types, so does anyone here have any experience with the Uclear system, either good or bad? Thank you in advance for being willing to share your knowledge and experience!

Never heard of them and probably another case of a Chinese copy of some other system at the Cycle Gear Store. Probably does work ok but no factory support or warrantee in a bout a year when the manufacture changes name and makes the No Static System!

No experience with the UClear. Interesting concept though. I've been using the Scala Rider TeamSet Pro for a year now (bought on sale at Cycle Gear.) Has worked very well. Recently began to use it with our Zumo 660 GPS. After discovering a quirk with the TeamSet Pro, something Cardo tech support didn't even know, it works well with the GPS too. Unfortunately when the GPS interrupts the intercom the connection is not automatically re-established once the GPS drops. A minor inconvenience.
Our next system is going to be the Sena SMH10 if for no other reason than you can use it while the battery is being charged. Haven't had a problem with the TeamSet Pro batteries yet. During a recent eleven hour ride with the intercom open most of the time, and the GPS jumping into the middle of things, the TeamSet Pro modules were still up and running at the end of our journey. Fortunately we had AC available to recharge 'em. No need to worry about that when you can charge 'em on the go. I think their "jog" button is going to be more gloved-hand user friendly too.

I used to have the uClear HBC-100 and it worked very well. Only reason I didn't keep using it is because my helmet didn't have speaker pods so it made the speakers press against my ears and after long rides it got to be a little painful. Sound quality from the uClear was great. Trick is you have to get the mic (integrated in to the speaker itself) angled just right. It can be paired with just about any smartphone out there. I am not familiar with their other units but I believe it allows for bike to bike communication.
Hear is the link for uClear. They are not a cheap chinese knock-off of any other system.

Sena Smh5
The Sena smh5 is an amazing set. $170 for 2 shipped. If you stay within 400 meters of the bike you are communicating with you do not need the Smh10. The 10 model will work up to 900 meters.

I bought the uClear hbc100 in April of this year, it's previous unit to the hbc200. I actually bought two from Revzilla. The first two units I received didn't work correctly, So I called uclear and they sent me 2 new units. They have really good customer service. If I remember correctly they are out of California. The two units I have now have been working flawlessly. I was impressed with the sound quality. What I like the most about them are that they are boomless units. I highly recommend them. Let me know if you want to know anymore about them.

I have the SENA SMH10.. Bought as a set, pairs with phone, phone media, GPS, and of course intercom. Great clarity in all modes. Recommend them highly.

Uclear Helmet Comm System
I have been looking at comm systems lately also. I found the Sena SMH5 dual set on Ebay, brand new for $185 and free shipping. Everyone that has them seems to really like Sena. It's next on my buy list.

I have been trying to decide on a system for several years . I looked at the uClear Sunday and it looked pretty good, but after doing some more research and reading a lot, I decided the Sena SMH10 does everything I need it to do, and came in a good bit less than the uClear. Amazon has the dual set for $283 and free 2nd day shipping for Prime members, but I ended up going with gomotoshop on eBay. Dual system for $247 shipped.
I don't think you would go wrong with the uclear though. One thing to keep in mind if you ride with another group is that if you want to intercom with them you will all need to be on the same system. You can't pair across brands.
