UCLEAR HBC200 Dual Force Bluetooth Communicator
New for 2012 and featuring Boomless ABF Technology, UCLEAR HBC200 Force introduces Super Group Intercom and Multi-Hop technology, specifically designed for group communications with full duplex intercom. Multi-hop technology, used in military tactical communications provides superior sound quality and connection stability over Bluetooth intercom systems that suffer from interference and are "line of sight" dependent. By incorporating Multi-hop technology, each Uclear HBC200 control unit works as a repeater or relay station, enabling the network to grow as more control units/riders are added to the group. Depending on riding conditions, the intercom range between two riders is up to 700 meters. Adding a third unit/rider increases the intercom range up to an additional 700 meters. Add a fourth rider and the entire group can communicate up to 2100 meters (1.3 miles) in full duplex intercom mode.
Features:
- Music, Calls, GPS (Bluetooth devices)
- Super Group Intercom (Full Duplex 4 riders)
- Multi-Hop Communication Extender (up to 700 meters between units or 2100 meters (1.3 miles) between four units.)
- Voice command for hands-free call pickup
- Hi-Fi stereo audio (AVRCP, A2DP)
- Boomless microphone (Industry first)
- Patented ABF / DSP technology isolates your voice and eliminates all background noise
- Firmware upgrades available
- Auto loudness adjustments
- GPS device compatible (Bluetooth HS/HFP profile required)
- One USB/Wall charger, two USB cables (Dual pack only)
- Easy installation on any helmet including full face or 3/4 helmets
- One year manufactures warranty

Great Comunictions
Very easy to install. Works great. Love not having a mic in my face.
May 13, 2013
Not so good... Sound is great but lacks a lot in function.
I just recieved my HBC200 Dual Force. Installation was a breeze even the pairing went well but after pairing I did realize Each Rider or passenger must have their own music source such as a phone or mp3 player, they can not both (rider and passenger) listen to the same music source such as 1 phone. Immediately upon usage I realized the bigest issue. You can't set them up to listen to music and allow the intercom to used and then switch back to music without actually reaching to the unit and first pausing your music then switching to intercom, then when complete reaching to the unit to switch back to music and then un pausing the music. All to just go through the same process to talk to your passenger again next time. I was previously using a ChatterBox and it would allow you to listen to music until the intercom was activated either through a PTT or Vox it would then switch back to music when the conversation was completed. I have spoke with UCLEAR support and they verified this unit will not work that way and requires manually switching between intercom and music by the rider each and every time. This is unacceptable and I'll be returning my units immediately.

Excellent coms system
This system is excellent, it took around 5 minutes to install in each helmet. The only caution I would have is if you helmet doesn't have cut outs for the speakers, as they a quite thick.
I haven't used this with a mobile phone as I think thats too much distraction for riding but have used it as a coms system riding with my wife. which is very clear no messy boom to get in the way either

Outstanding bike to bike communications
Talked my riding partner into an upgrade from our older communications equipment to Uclear HBC200, so was hoping for the best. This is one of the few times a product has really exceeded my expectations. Made our older equipment seem like junk. Installation was a piece of cake, completely non-intrusive in and on the helmet. Crisp duplex, natural conversation at 80mph +. Voice pickup instantaneous, far better than I had experienced previously. Noise filtering also far beyond anything I have experienced, truly state of the art. Full bluetooth phone integration with correct protocol interrupts. Out of range at 3/4 mile?, make a cell call to your partner from your helmet.

U -Clear HBC200
I like the built in mike in the ear phones but the sound quality is just average. The blue tooth phone part works well but the other person I am talking to says it sound like an echo chamber but still very understandable. The buttons are not that easy to use wearing gloves but are functional.
April 1, 2013
Excellent
Took this out over the weekend and it was great. I used the set with a passenger. We both enjoyed the Uclear and keeps the passenger entertain.
Sound:
Anything under 65mph is very clear, over 65 it gets a bit noisy because of the wind noise. The wind is not coming from the headset itself but from the helmet, so depending on your helmet the unit could sound a lot better or a lot worse. My Arai is known for wind noise. We both had full face helmet on. The music syncs perfectly with my phone. Music sounds OK. If you are expecting great sounding music with deep bass, this is not the device for it but it does the job and keeps you entertain.
Wind:
I was afraid that the unit will create wind turbulence and create a lot of wind noise. However, that was not the case. My helmet made the same amount of noise with or without it. The unit is small so if you are not constantly playing with it, you would not notice it was there (at least I didn't notice). I read that the volume is too loud but I think those reviewers set their volume on the highest setting. Sides, I rather have it too loud than too low since you can just lower the volume.
Installation:
Installed the set on an Arai RX-Q and a Shoei RF1100. They were both quite easy. Every helmet is made differently so you have to look first and make sure you know where you want the headset to be placed. I mocked it up with some tape and tested it out. Once everything sounds good, I then proceed to use the velcro.
Unit Construction:
The construction is solid and the buttons are not too small with gloves on. Just play with it before you go on a ride and get used to the locations of the button. I personally wouldn't recommend messy around with the buttons too much while riding (a little PSA). I didn't have a problem with the rubber membrane that others were talking about. It didn't feel cheap.
Final word - although a bit pricey we both thought it was worth every penny and made the ride a lot more entertaining.

Product works great and service even better
Hi all, I purchased the dual pack last year in September and have really enjoyed using the set. I did need to adjust the placement of the speakers/mic once to get the best sound and once I did this I found a marked improvement in quality so don't be afraid to move them around and experiment if you aren't getting the sound quality you want. External noise on a motorbike is always going to cause a problem with any of these devices so if you can minimize noise by getting a good helmet and wear some ear plugs to cut back on some of the rough background noise you will find this product shine. Works great and easily syncs up to my Android phone where I can use google navigation , accept phone calls, listen to online radio , etc etc. But one thing I do want to say about UClear is the service. Recently I required some new clips for my second helmet and UClear sent them out to me straight away. Many thanks. Service level is fantastic. Thank You UClear!!!

Product is easy to install and works Great.
U-clear HBC 200 is super easy to install and link up with your phone or other devices. Speakers are loud and clear, but if you turn them up to max they get abit scratchy. Cant wait to take them out on the long trips in the summer.

Answer:
The HJC IS-33 has increased amounts of airflow, which will affect the quality of sound projected into the mic. Perhaps a helmet with a longer shield, a full face helmet or a modular helmet would work better with this system.1 month ago

Answer:
A stereo Bluetooth dual stream transmitter, such as the Sena SM10, would be required to stream music to two Bluetooth communicators simultaneously. Additionally, you can listen to music and communicate with each other at the same time, though the music audio will cut out during the conversation.
2 months, 2 weeks ago
Answer:
No, it doesn't pair with more than one "side" divice at a time. You will both have to have your own music source (mp3 player, Ipod, Smart phone, etc.). As a side note; you can't listen to music and have an active intercom comunication at the same time. You must first pause the music (simple double tap on the answer button) and then you can initiate an intercom comunication. If your passanger begins the conversation, your music will automaticly be paused until the conversation is ended.1 week ago

Answer:
you can be listening to music and communicate at the same time. the voice communication has priority over the music streaming ie the music is interrupted by the incoming voice communication. Once the voice communication is ended you are returned to the music streaming. Telephone communication also has priority over music streaming ie an incoming telephone call will interrupt the music streaming and be returned upon ending the telephone communication. The priority is voice, then telephone, then music in that order.Age: 55-64

I've never really kept track of the use time. But I will say it'll last me a week or two in between charges with about 30-minutes of use a day. After the first charge which will take a couple of hours, it charges pretty quick.Age: 35-44

Answer:
I can only give you my experiences on this, but I get about 10-12hrs listening to music. When I'm using it as an intercom I get a little less, but not significantly. U-Clear says "10 hours of talk time" and I would believe them. They also say two weeks of standby, and I have no reason not to believe them even though I've never put it to the test.Age: 35-44

I think the UAP100 is an extra set of earphones and microphone combo with mounting so that the HBC can be moved to a second helmet without remounting.

Not sure of all the jargon so, I will ask in my own words. I have 2 motorcycles with my wife on one with one kid and me on the other with the other kid (4 total users). Can we all intercom together (talk and listen to each other) at the same time without having to hit a bunch of buttons or talk to one person at a time?

Answer:
Yes, with the new HBC200's I believe you can have up to 8 units daisy chained together. But keep in mind they are linking together in a line. I believe it was like 700 feet between riders. And if anyone strays farther then the 700 feet you will break the chain for the rest of the riders won't be able to talk to say the first rider.Age: 35-44

Answer:
QUOTE (From uclear-digital's site (URL noted below))Q: We have a set of the HBC100′s and are waiting patiently for the 200′s. What I’d like to know is will they be compatible with each other? Can our passengers use the 100′s to communicate with us or do we need to have 2 sets of the 200′s?
A: Thanks for purchasing the HBC100′s. You will not be able to use the multi-unit function between the HBC100 and HBC200 units. The HBC200 can pair with 5 additional HBC200 units, but the HBC100 can pair with just one other unit.
UNQUOTE (http://uclearstore.com/motorcycle/)
It is unclear if the above statement answers if it is backwards compatible, it may be, this information states the HBC100 cannot be used to pair into the HBC200 to use multi-hop technology. Looks like we just have to wait a few more weeks until Uclear-Digital receives their FTC approval (this is the roadblock right now).

Answer:
No it's not. U-Clear has this stated on their website. The HBC200 uses new technology in the intercom circuit that is not compatible with the old one. That being said, I've ridden with a friend who has a Scala system, and we both have cell phone plans that are unlimited cell to cell calls, so I just called him at the beginning of the ride and we talked the whole time.Age: 35-44
