Default Alternate Ultra Headset

Anyone using another brand other than the KOSS that comes with the bike? I'm really disappointed with the overall quality. Sound quality is terrible.

Love the new '09 Ultra. Picked it up last week

I use J&M Elite for me and my wife and they work very well. They are better than the OEM one is in sound quality as well as better volume control.

I have the factory ones on my '08 Ultra, and they sound great. I'd chcek another headset, as yours may be defective. On a recent road trip using the CB extensively, another rider on a GoldWing said my headset was the clearest he's ever heard. I get good stereo separation and good tone from mine.
