Default New HD Headsets for Shorty helmets

Has anyone used this headset? How is the noise canceling on the boom mic without a faceshield?

Interested in this headset only, not your opinion on what you use and how much better it is than the HD headset.

I know you are not interested in others, but I have the IMC Moto version and they make the Harley one. It works quite adequate for me and the noise cancellation is not optimum. We just use the push to talk, seems to work better. I have loud pipes which causes problems, might work better with quieter pipes. I believe the IMC Moto version is cheaper.

I have this one also Here is a link: http://imcmoto.com/products/harley-h...adset-kit.html

It is your money, call them and let them know your are an HDF member and it will save ya $10. If you want a black one with the HD name on it, spend the extra cash...

Can't speak for the noise canceling yet. I plan to get another one to use the intercom. The truckers can't believe the bike gets out so good! Music sounds decent also.

I also have the IMC Moto set. In addition I have the J&M CB with intercom which is always on, not VOX or PTT. On the SG my wife has no complaints about noise, especially with the new LRS Ultra flip shield. Even with the Cee Bailey SSC shield the wind noise from the mic was tolerabe. When we talk the only time anyone has had a problem hearing me was when we were traveling at 80mph and there was a strong crosswind. Other than that everyone could hear me just fine.

I also have the IMC wrap-around. Only quirk I have with it is that sometimes the mic gets twisted around backwards, and I'm not aware of it. That is the only time anybody has a problem hearing me via the J&M CB.
