Default Headset without a helmet

Just checking in, hope it hasn't been posted a thousand times before.

Wondering what, if any, are the best Bluetooth or wired headsets to use without a helmet. Have checked a couple old threads from '12 and'13, but nothing newer that I can find. Have seen and looked at Sena, iMC, etc but nothing looks like it's got great reviews. Hope you can help

This. Works with 1/2 helmet or no helmet. I have 2. Music quality is very good, better than the helmet headset that came with the bike. Comes with storage case and the cord connections have never given me an issue (unlike the helmet headset that has connections/cords that have failed on me multiple times). Costs a bunch less than a full Bluetooth setup.

I have a Boom! Audio Expand Bluetooth Half Helmet Headset for the wife. Works well for what we need it for.

I use the he half helmet setup pictured above for Coms while not wearing a helmet. I leave them down around my neck though since I only use the microphone. This allows me to use my CB or Cell phone, They come through my speakers so I only need the mic. I can't stand anything over my ears for any length of time.

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->I am personally using Logitech G430 headset during biking. It is the best wired headset and most importantly it has wide earcups which cancels the noise perfrectly. Do give it a try, it is quite affordable.
