Default 1/2 helmet/helmet less headset recommendations

I'm looking for a good 1/2 helmet/helmet less headset for my 11 Ultra Limited. Is the HD one the best or are there better options?

Thanks

Thumbs down Poor imcmoto experience

The headset would only sporatically transmit. Tried everything to make sure it was their product including plugging into passengers socket. I emailed and called them. Had to leave a message for them. They never called back. E mail reply was curt. Finally called them again and was told it was probably a firmware problem. When I told them the bike is only 2 months old they said it was probably their headset problem.

Ship it back at my expense (NY to CA) $11.00 and after they receive it they will ship out another. That is a 2 week process. Had to buy another headset and 24 hours later I still do not know if they shipped it or not.

No more imcmoto pain in the **** items for me.

P.S. these headsets really put a world of hurt on my ear and temple with the chin strap secured. Nature of the beast not really their fault.

I am quite upset to hear that, as I have had god experience with their products. I am going through one of their distributors though and there in may be the difference.

That's nice, but.... you kinda missed the point.

The customer service was third world rate.

I've got a J&M headset in one of my 1/2 helmets. It works great.
