Axor IRIS Plus Bluetooth Motorcycle Helmet Headset

The Axor IRIS Plus is a Bluetooth speaker for helmet use, built to keep calls, navigation prompts and music in your ears without pulling your attention off the road. It is a slim, modular unit designed to work with most motorcycle helmets, and it is powered by Altor.

If you commute daily or spend weekends on the highway, a good speaker for motorcycle helmet use saves you from pulling over every time the phone rings. The IRIS Plus covers those basics well, and it does it without making your helmet feel heavy or unbalanced.

Key Features of the Axor IRIS Plus

• Clear audio: High quality speakers and optimised microphones for calls, navigation prompts and music.

• IPX6 water resistance: Made to cope with rain and tough riding conditions.
• 1000mAh Li-ion battery: Built for extended riding sessions between charges.

Music, Calls and Navigation While You Ride

Listening to music for motorcycle helmet use is one of the main reasons riders pick up a unit like this, but navigation is where it earns its place. Turn by turn prompts reach you through the speakers, so you can keep your phone in your pocket or on its mount and your eyes ahead.

One practical tip: keep the volume at a level where you can still hear traffic around you, especially in the city.

Fitting the IRIS Plus to Your Helmet

The modular build makes installation and removal simple, and it is designed so it does not change how your helmet looks or feels. How well you hear also depends on how snugly your helmet sits, so if you are unsure about yours, our guide on choosing a properly fitting helmet is worth a quick read.
