I never had the need to use an intercom, until I had to coach my noob wife how to ride on the road. An intercom system is absolutely invaluable for this purpose.
Initially I had a Fodsports FX4 Pro system. It was terrible, our units had lousy connection even when she was sitting right behind me on the pillion seat. The unit was fiddly to use, making it a huge distraction when riding. The audio quality was shit too, as I would often get audio coming from only 1 speaker... if at all!
Then I got a pair of Cardo Packtalk Bold. All problems instantly solved. There are still minor niggles (i.e. reception suffers in urban areas with lots of signal interference, fcuking voice command would sometimes kick in unintentionally etc), but on the whole it has been so reliable we would not tour without it esp now that she rides separately on her own bike.
Handles Spotify, Waze & voice comm simultaneously with zero problems.
On clear stretches of the highway outside of cities, we could still communicate abt 1km apart esp if she's within line of sight.
Biggest con is that it's fukkin expensive, but it's better than throwing RM500 odd bucks on a cheap system that I ended up ripping out of my helmet in a fit of rage.
I only ride with my wife, so we've never tried to see how well it works with other systems.
