Good products are always like this, they are last forever<\/p>\n<p>Its surface is made of frosted material, and the large rotary button is made of ABS material and frosted. I really like the matte surface, which makes it look advanced and textured.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>audio<\/strong> interface of FX8 is a <strong>metal contact<\/strong>, which is connected to the audio cable with a base.<\/p>\n<p>The surface of FX8 Air is glossy ABS material, which looks cleaner.<\/p>\n<p>There are no metal contacts and no base under the FX8 Air. It is lighter than FX8.<\/p>\n<p>Its <strong>audio<\/strong> interface is <strong>Type-c<\/strong>. This is also an upgrade. Charging and audio are the same interfaces. One less data cable is more convenient.<\/p>\n<p>Both FX8 and FX8Air are designed with large rotary buttons. Feel smooth! I think this feeling can relieve pressure.<\/p>\n<p>And they all have extended antennas, you can open the antennas when you use them. This will make the signal stronger.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Intercom\"><\/span>Intercom<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The obvious point is that FX8 is a group intercom, and FX8 Air is a <strong>2-6 riders intercom<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This is the best point to distinguish between them, and it directly determines which model you should choose.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FX8 can support up to 8 people<\/strong> to connect. And everyone can talk at the same time. When the number of people connected is less than 7 people, the experience is the best.<\/p>\n<p>But FX8 Air only supports 2 to 6 people to connect. If you only ride and chat with 1 - 4 companion for a long time, just choose FX8 Air, that's enough.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Functions\"><\/span>Functions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>What functions does FX8 Air add compared to FX8?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, that is <strong>EQ Sound Effects.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have been longing for a Bluetooth headset with various audio impacts like other sports fanatics, our most recent FX8 AIR is your perfect choice!<\/p>\n<p>Our latest FX8 AIR safety helmet headset has three sound effects.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>HiFi Bass: Bass increase<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bass enhancement, you can really feel the shock as well as vigor of low frequency.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Popular Golden Classic: Midrange increase<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The midrange is enhanced, as you are at a show, you can submerge yourself in the limitless rhythm brought by modern technology.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pure Human Voice: Treble increase<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A high-pitched tone will certainly allow you to say goodbye to the monotony and really feel the layering and also penetration of the clear vocal.<\/p>\n<p>The switching of the 3 audio impacts allows you to experience the terrific makeover of the 3 scenes in a motorcycle flight, which will certainly bring much more enjoyable to your trip!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_FX8_VS_FX8_Air_work\"><\/span>How does FX8 VS FX8 Air work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Switch_between_automaticmanual_answering_calls\"><\/span>Switch between automatic\/manual answering calls<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When you find it very troublesome, you can choose to set the intercom to automatically answer calls.
