Default Headset com help suggestions needed.

I am a new member- and, Yes I have tried the search.... but I get more confused. I need suggestions

I have a 2007 Ultra Classic and I am looking for a headset/mike combo to plug and play.

I wear a half helmet - the wife has a full size with flip up shield.

Any suggestions on what to look for or get????

I am confused

Thanks
Bruce

I assume you mean for the on bike comm?? If so what is wrong with boom audio set up?

Boom!™ Audio Half Helmet Music and Communications Headset 76572-09

I am using the Harley one for full face helmets and it works great. When I switch back to my shorty helmet I will get the one listed above

To clarify-I have just bought the bike used, and there was no audio phones or mike.... just the pin connectors

I am not familiar with any brand, and I am looking for suggestions

Thanks for your input

The better set will be J&M... the next will be Boom but the quality isn't as good as J&M... i have both... the helmetless headset from IMC works pretty good but you will have to decide which one you like better....If you buy the HD Boom then you know to buy it from The Dealer...For the J&M and IMC call Sierra Electronics...they usually have some of the most competitive prices... www.sierra-mc.com you get what you pay for...been there...

You can get the cheap HD versions all over ebay. I have the J&M. Life's too short not to go first class.

Wow... J&M is proud of their stuff. Little steep for me since I am not an audiophile. OL and I did 700ish miles this weekend with boom audio set and had no complaints. We could talk and listen to music just fine even when I had face shield up at 80mph.

Hey Buddy! I recommend you those wireless headsets just like Ear Force PX5 Programmable Wireless 7.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound Headset with Bluetooth. It is for good for indoors and outdoors, it is compatible mostly in all gaming consoles.
Ear Force PX5 Programmable Wireless 7.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound Headset with Bluetooth is one of the Best Xbox Headset as of 2012. Cheers!

The Boom Audio ones are good enough, and you're really not limited to buying them from a dealer--there's usually some for sale in the "for sale" forum just a bit further down the main HDForums page.

The ones in the "for sale" forum have gone for ~$50-$100 per set. Keep your eye out for them and you can score a good deal on them.

Best places to look are the touring for sale or the Gear and other items.

We've had great luck with the Harley boom audio gear and the IMC which is the same, 52k with both half and 3/4 setups for both passenger and I.

I paid $37 for two sets on Ebay and they sound as good as my HD set and have held out great and at that price, if they quit tomorrow, I am still ok.
