EDYELL EMBH-C1 Motorcycle Helmet Bluetooth Headset Review: Safer than using bluetooth earbuds?

Pros & Cons

Detailed Review

First Impressions

When this EDYELL headset arrived, I was genuinely surprised by the packaging. For something under two grand, you get a pretty complete kit — the main unit, velcro pads, a clip mount, charging cable, and even a small mic that sticks inside your helmet. The build feels plasticky but not cheap-cheap, if you know what I mean. The buttons are large enough to operate with gloves, which is a relief because my winter riding gloves are chunky.

How I Tested This

I mounted this inside my Studds Thunder D4 full-face helmet and used it daily for about three weeks. My commute is Noida to Gurugram via the expressway, so I’m dealing with 80-100 kmph winds, truck horns, and the usual Delhi NCR chaos. I also tested it on a weekend ride to Neemrana with my riding group. The dual-phone connectivity was tested by pairing my work Samsung and personal iPhone simultaneously — something I actually need because my office calls come on one phone and Google Maps runs on the other.

Performance

Let me be real – this thing works fine up to about 60-65 kmph. Beyond that, wind noise starts drowning out the audio. On the expressway, I had to crank volume to max, and even then, music became background noise. Calls were manageable because the mic does a decent job cutting wind, but the person on the other end said I sounded “like I was in a tunnel” at high speeds. GPS instructions came through clearly enough to not miss turns, which honestly is all I needed.

The IPX5 rating held up during an unexpected downpour near Manesar. I was worried, but the headset kept working without issues. Battery life is genuinely good — I got around 10-11 hours of mixed music and calls, which matches their claims.

Value for Money

For the price, I think EDYELL has done a fair job. Flipkart reviews mention similar experiences — great for city commutes, struggles on highways. If you’re comparing this to something like a Cardo or Sena, don’t. Those cost 8-10x more. But for a delivery rider, a college student, or someone who just wants basic hands-free functionality, this does the job without burning a hole in your pocket.

The dual-phone feature actually works smoothly, which surprised me. Switching between phones is quick, and I never had random disconnections. Fitting it inside the helmet took some trial and error — the speaker placement matters a lot for sound quality, so spend time adjusting it properly.
