Our take on the ILM Bluetooth Integrated Modular Flip up Full Face Motorcycle Helmet Model 953

The ILM 953 is a full-face modular motorcycle helmet with Bluetooth built into the shell, so there is no headset to clamp on or wires to route. It offers one-touch call answering, rejecting and redialing, rider-to-rider intercom up to about 1,000 feet, FM radio and GPS audio, with incoming calls overriding whatever is playing. A flip-up chin bar and drop-down sun visor make it practical for commuting and touring, and it meets or exceeds DOT standards. Against separate helmet-plus-headset setups it saves the add-on cost and clutter, but its Bluetooth 3.0 is older than the Bluetooth 5 chips in current headsets, and the built-in electronics cannot be swapped for a better unit.

About the ILM Bluetooth Integrated Modular Flip up Full Face Motorcycle Helmet Model 953

The ILM Model 953 is a modular full face motorcycle helmet with built-in Bluetooth 3.0. Press the release button to lift the chin guard, and the helmet works as a flip up helmet. It meets or exceeds DOT safety standards.

The Bluetooth system has one-touch control for answering, rejecting and redialing calls. An incoming call overrides intercom, music, FM and GPS navigation audio. Two built-in speakers give stereo sound. DSP echo cancellation and noise suppression keep voice clear at high speed.

The chin and crown vents are surface mounted and increase airflow. The chin curtain is removable and replaceable, and it protects against cold and wind. The top liner and ear liners are removable and washable. The headphones sit inside the ear pads, so take care when changing them.
