A: Yes, it works great for crystal clear sound for FM radio, bike-to-bike communication, as well as making and receiving calls on your cell phone even at highway speeds of 75 mph or more.

Q: Is this a set?
A: Yes, it is a set that covers both ears but is only for one person.

Q: Could this be used while riding on a motorcycle?
A: Yes, it is great for intercom communication with other bikes within approximately 300 yards of each other and without cars or trucks between them. It also works well for phone calls. However, the padding on the earpieces may cause discomfort after wearing them for several hours.
