Default RE: The Ultimate Headset - Your Opinion Matters

I just returned the J&M Elite headset. While the speakers are great, the mic just doesn't work right. According to J&M customer service, you need to "speak a little louder" to get the mic to break VOX. I refuse to shout at my passenger. The spacer mod to the Harley headset works great. So much so that I am not in a hurry to solve the speaker issue. I like the J&M headset better, but they just will not acknowledge the mic issue. I believe it was Crazie that spliced the J&M speakers into the Harley headset. That is the way I will probably go.

The shouting kind of defeats the purpose of the headset. I'm looking for something myself right now as I'm currently shouting at my passengers.

I actually toyed with the idea of trying to put the Harley mic on the J&M headset. J&M has the best setup, but the Harley unit is sealed even though there are screws to hold it together. I guess the problem is we want our cake and eat it too. If you find something please let us know.
