Going Wireless
Prior to using the UCLEAR, I had tried the Giro Tuneups Audio Drops Kit.
The UCLEAR is a massive upgrade there.
Tunes
Music is the main reason I wanted to try these.
A solo run on an empty trail?
OK, I’m turning it up.
The UCLEAR works great in both scenarios.
For $230 you’d think this might be something they could improve upon.
Calls
While the music was good, phone calls is where the UCLEAR really shines.
The speakers that mount into the earpads of your helmet also contain the microphones.
The convenience is where it gets cool.
While listening to music, the phone just starts to ring.
I could hear the callers clearly and they could hear me.
Charging
The control unit is rechargeable and holds a charge pretty well.
I’m able to get in a whole weekend of skiing on one charge.
They key is remembering to have the charger with you if you’re gonna wanna rejuice.
It’s a standard USB connection.
