I am sure many will have opinions on using these in the first place but....

I picked up a Sena SMH5 kit for 100 quid and am suitably impressed.

Calls are clear at 70mph and even the music is pretty decent. Works with your hands free voice activation well too. Best buy in ages.

the Sena's do seem good and very popular, I bought these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Blueskysea-interphone-Bluetooth-Motorbike-Motorcycle/dp/B00JQW17NM/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1468273646&sr=8-15&keywords=bluetooth+helmet+headset  for my son and I and fro the cost I cannot fault them, can hear music, sat nav, phone at 70mph, when my brother called me he initially didn't believe I was out on the bike the call was just that clear.

Some downsides, the speakers are relatively thick so unless your helmet has speaker recesses, mine does Shoei NXR, the speakers will crush your ears, the mike is on a boom which needs careful routing.  PJ bought the same ones and neither he nor Steff could stand to have them in the helemts.

Bottom line at just over £30 for each headset I'm happy.

Yea the speaker are just pressing slightly. I think I just need t spend some time placing them better.

it'll worth it

I bought a SENA and it was great, unfortunately it got water logged and packed up in Scotland. So rather than forking out for another SENA, I bought a 25 quid jobbie off eBay, and have to say there is little difference to the SENA, in fact the battery life is better and no difference in sound quality. I can't pair with as many headsets, but can still talk to another 2 people if needed, rather than the 5, and the range isn't quite as good, but that's the only downside I can find.

I have a Cardo G9x unit. Overall I'm happy with it and looking to upgrade to the packtalk as you can then pair with non Cardo units and also layer the audio (listen to music and gps rather than one or the other).

I'm amazed these things work.  Do they have active noise cancelling or other cleverness in them?

Noise cancelling mikes and the volume in the speakers increases if you're moving. I've phoned SWMBO whilst doing about 80 and she heard it all clear as day. Wizardry I tells ee.
