I came off my motorbike on ice, scraping my helmet along the road in the process. A replacement was required but, while about to place an order at my friendly neighbourhood bike shop (GAS), I was shown an alternative; this Veemax model (I think) was slightly more expensive (£200 vs £150) but still has all the same features like flip-front, flip-down sun visor, QR ratchet fastening and of course Bluetooth. Build quality looked a little better and it was lighter too (about 1600g IRC).
I took my Viper back the next day to see if I could get it to pair with the Veemax (rider to pillion). I couldn't, but I'm sure it was just a case of RTFM! It paired with my iPhone with no problem and I proceeded to test the sound - it was awful! No bottom end at all! No bass :-(
Decision made. I ordered a direct replacement for my Viper RS-V121 (Bluetooth 2), matt black, medium (there's another story) and I commented that the Veemax sound isn't as good as my old Viper. "That's odd?" says the woman behind the counter, "most people say they like the sound". I can't understand why.
