That sounds like a great bargain. I'll definitely take a look at them. Thanks to all that chimed in. You've given me a lot to think about, and now the shopping begins.

Let's see if I can remember.....supposed to have ear buds instead of helmet mount speakers and mics was one of them (great state of helmetless Illinois) I believe if they do not already they will support 8 active intercoms simultaneously...that's all I can remember for now....

thanks

the "new" model that was just announced but yet to ship has some sort of "hopping" technology that will allow up to 8 intercoms in a "string"

dont think I would care for the earbuds and the main reason I went with the UClear was to get rid of the mic so that does not appeal to me either

hope to have mine before end of month but no guarantee of that

No mic....just earbuds instead of the helmet speakers....let me know what you think of your unit...I really like my scala rider G4 but if there is a better system even without earbuds I might just go for it....

I'd be very interested too in hearing about how you like the UClear System. Like I said my friends seem to really like theirs.

The new Uclear HBC200 comes with speakers but you can get ear buds (with their special mic built in to each side) for $49 or "dynamic" ear buds for $119. Details are not yet clear but it appears they will be active noise canceling like the Bose headsets etc.

Our distributor just pushed out the ETA on them by a month til 5-18.

Another vote for the Scala G4. The intercom is flawless. The built-in FM radio sucks, though. I have a buddy with the Uclear, and he says it's excellent, and it doesn't have the boom mic, which can get in the way, depending on what kind of helmet you wear. All of these units run about $150-175 each.

How does the U clear work with a half helmet? I like the idea of no boom but not sure how well the sound would be with a open face helmet and no boom. Also what would you do with the speakers or do you then use ear buds.

I have a long trip planned for the end of the month and would like to have a way to communicate with my passenger.
