Default headsets

i'm wanting to get a blue tooth compatible headset. my wife and i ride together and sometimes separately. so i'm wanting a system to meet both set ups. i've looked at the blue ant, but can't figure out if it's for one rider or two for the 200.00 msrp. so if anyone can give me some suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
p.s in additon to this product review any recommendation of others also greatly appreciated.

SCALA QII Rider. I haven't used it as an intercom. Say's the range on it is approx.1500'.I have it paired up with cell phone and GPS. Good volume w/2 speakers. Long boom mike on it so mounts up on my 1/2 helmet.

+1 I have the Scala Rider and like it. I can make cell-phone calls, listen to the gps etc. Have had no problems, easy setup with a non-technogeek like me. Internal battery seems to last a very long time.

I have the blue ant and it works well for bike to bike. You can get them on Amazon.com for about $109.00 each. But after using the blue ant now I believe my choice would be the scala rider. My power button on the side is starting to act up and I just hear good things about the scala rider. I also think the battery on the scala rider lasts longer.

I've got a son in law who's parts/service manager at a family owned Honda dealership.I got the single unit for 125.00 which I'M guessing is about 25-30% under retail. I've seen them on line run 320-400 for the team set.I believe each head set can be paired up to separate phones. I haven't had any problems with mine so don't know about tech. support but I called what I believe was their main U.S tech/supply center looking for the adheisive mount backing plate to mount on my new helmet. The guy I talked to said he would send me out one free of charge probably a 5.00 item. He sent me the whole audio/microphone asmbly. postage paid! Ithink they stand by their product. It also has a built in FM radio and a mp3 jack.Only complaint I've heard is it isn't stereo, but I didn't buy it for the FM or mp3 capabilities.

more detailed info on what I'm after: Road King w/detachable front fairing and tour pack, for traveling long distances. my wife and I wear full face helmets most of the time and want to fully communicate with each other, listen to music without blaring it for the world to hear, and We need to take calls from our kids and we are both self employed (she has hair salon and I'm HVAC contractor).

She also rides solo and we want to talk to each other when riding solo. thanks to all for input so far.
