Default Headset

Does anybody have any feedback on using a wrap around headset for riders who wear half or no helmet. I want to use my intercom (at times), but I really don't want to wear a helmet or at least just use my half helmet. Are you able to hear or is there too much wind? thanks

The latest version of the boom boom wrap around is good the first version hung on top of ears and would cut into ears after awhile the new version is under and wraps behind head Ivan use with or without helmet and sounds are good

I have them. they work great. CB, music, intercom. All work well. It took me a few to get the VOX dialed in so that it wasn't keying the mics. BUt since then I have no complaints.

I use the HD wrap around with my half helmet. To stop the ear-cut-in, I turn the headset upside down so the mike is on the right side and the band doesn't go over the ears but rather under them. The ear pads are held tight to my head by my half-helmet straps and I can ride all day like that. Great for when my buddy and I want to communicate during long rides.
