I have this one, works with half, no & 3/4 helmets. Works great

How's the quality? I checked out the ebay page. Seems too cheap (inexpensive) to be any good.

Speaker placement is key. When I drilled my helmet to accept the Edsets speakers, I was just a hair off with the location. That 1/4 inch or so makes a huge difference in sound.

I have that headset. It does get the job done but the quality is fair at best. The mic is very tinny sounding. speakers sound ok; as long as you get them positioned correctly

I agree. My HD headset works great with CB, intercom and tunes! I have communicated to truckers on CB that had no idea I was on a motorcycle (they thought I was in another truck the audio was so good). I call on my cell phone thru my HD headset (only when I have too!) on the road and the other person has no idea I am on the motorcycle, it is so clear. Mine is an 07 headset and is perfect for me!
