Cool Looking for some advice on headsets.

Does anyone have experience with using a communications headset, for talking with passenger or fellow riders?
I'm looking for a headset that will work with my half helmet and one for my wife's full face. Preferably a set that has good noise cancellation and you can actually have a conversation with another rider.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.

We bought the sena 20s set last winter and used them all season.. about 10k. Miles. We love them. I have a full face modular and a half helmet for really hot days and wife has a 3/4. They work well with all of them. I use ear buds with the half. I can make a phone call and people can't believe I am the bike. Intercom works great as well...haven't tried them with other riders yet

Does the Sena 20s advertise a range between riders? Most use will likely be between my wife and I on separate bikes. The intercom and phone use quality sound ideal.

I use CB but the guys in the club that use the Bluetooth say less than a 1/4 mile is optimum...

Ok, Sena it is then. Now to find correct combination head sets and boom mics for half and full helmets. Anyone try the handle bar control option? I see it advertised along with the Sena products.

you won't be disappointed with the Sena 20s - we've been using the older model SMH10s for 5 years and we love them!
