Default Questions on a 2-up configuration

I posted this in the Audio section and then realized it would be seen by more guys here.

I've recently ordered a '14 Limited and have zero experience with communication/headset systems. I ride a '12 Fatboy Lo and screw around on my '75 Honda CB500T. That being said, I'm looking for recommendations for a good quality helmet/headset/mike system that I'll use for me and my girl when we take the Limited out. I've researched around but can't tell what is quality and what is junk. I assume we'll both plug into the bike and I'll Bluetooth my music or just hook it into the USB. Ultimately, Id like the comm system integrated into our helmets but I assume clip-on and velcro type systems work OK too. My goal is to enjoy the music and each others conversations while we ride with minimal wind noise. Can I also assume that there are both Push To Talk systems and Voice Activation? Thanks for any info guys. I won't pick the bike up until February and want to get my stuff lined up and ready before then.

I had a pair of Summit VCom helmets and they connected to the bike and each other. Could talk to the passenger or my brother on another bike with no problems. There are add on kits like Sena, Nolan, or Scuberth that all work very well for what you are wanting to do.

Alternatively you can use bluetooth with absolutely no wires! Mrs B and I have Schuberth helmets with integral comms, but they use technology licenced from Cardo Systems, who make a range of Scala Rider kits it is worth checking out.
