What's the scoop on helmet communication?

[Oldslow]

Are there anyone recommendations for helmet communication systems? More interested in something that's built in, (comes with the helmet).

J & M has a great selection - especially if you are wanting to talk with other bikes in the group. Or, SCALA is good as well.

If you have a favorite helmet call the folks at Sierra Electronics see if they can install a system in it for you. I had used J&M clamp on microphone systems for years and when I bought a new full face helmet I wanted to get rid of the clamp and make it a more clean installation. I called Sierra and ended up riding to their shop and had a J&M speaker and microphone installed while I waited. You can also ship the helmet to them. The installation looks like it was done at the factory and no more wires hanging around the clamp. Overby's Two Wheel sound provides a similar service.

I have a Scala Rider Q2 headset, helmet to 2 other helmets communication, bluetooth communication to my phone or my gps unit, fm radio, and can plug in an mp3 player as well. We charge the batteries every 3 days of riding or so.

Well, your bike already has the intercom and cb capabilities so I assume you are simply asking where to order helmets with the headsets already built in. If that is the case, I highly recommend Sierra. They are a fantastic company to deal with and offer several brands of helmets with your choice of several different headsets.

I really like the Edsets headsets but I don't think they offer any helmets with them already built in. Installation is very simple though. You would just buy the helmets of your choice and install the headsets yourself.

We have the Sena wireless headset...works pretty good at speeds at or less than 60 mph, above that the wind noise gets loud (but, I also have short shield). We also found out a 3/4 helmet with the face shield worked the best (I had to modify my helmet from all the windnoise to make it quieter)

Depending on your $$ situation, you could try the Schuberth C3 here. webBikeWorld has a write-up on it. Helmet is supposed to be pretty quiet.

My wife & I have this, as well. We love it. The new G4 is supposed to have about double the range of the Q2 & can connect up to 4 people (the Q2 up to 3 people). We really like no wires & a pretty good range when we're on separate bikes. If someone calls me while on the bike, they don't even know I'm on it. It's that quiet.
