Default HD Headset Sound Quailty

For those of you with HD headsets, how is the sound quality?

Crap, utter crap. I get better fidelity from my clock radio. I just ordered a J&M set to try them out.

By the way, the best price I have found is here...

Wing shop, but had the lowers and shipped the same day.

Why can't HD just get the Hogtunes speakers and install them stock, and buy the J&M wholesale and include them?

I notice the stock speakers on my '03 Ultra Classic aren't the best I've heard.

They are pretty bad. About what I would expect for a speaker that size. But, I've heard the J&M were much better. I wouldn't buy another H-D. I'd go for the J&M instead. The external speakers sound pretty good to me, but I'm not an expert and have age related hearing limitations anyway.

I have used both the stock Harley and 2 different sets of J&M and can tell you without a doubt J&M blows Harley stuff away. Harley should be embarrased to sell the crap they sell.

Sierra Electronics has pretty good prices on J&M stuff.
