rstacy Posted September 23, 2011 #1 Posted September 23, 2011 I had been looking to get helmets with headsets so that the wife and I could take advantage of the VR sound system. I was wanting to go blue-tooth but anything decent was going to be a small fortune. The forum suggested looking for Goldwing helmets on Ebay or CL. I have been looking but finding helmets in the right size wasn't working out. A friend bought the Parrot SK4000 for $46 on Amazon. I did a search on here and found 1 post. This little device is perfect! I ended up buying one for each helmet. Installation was a breeze. The sound quality is very good but it really shines when talking to someone. I'm cruising down the road at 65 and they never even realize that I am on a bike. It has a remote or uses voice commands. Other than a software bug with automatic gain control, it has worked perfect. It even has a radio. In addition to blue-tooth support, it has an analog input port for my GPS or Ipod or whatever. Now if the wife and I want to talk, I just call her up on her phone. Most of us have unlimited minutes so its no big deal. I love the thing. I especially love it for $46! http://www.raymondstacy.com/parrot.jpg
Yammer Dan Posted September 23, 2011 #2 Posted September 23, 2011 Yeah I have a new J&M Elite set that was missing one of the boom mics and a cord when I got it. I didn't look in the box when I got it. I had it on the shelf for a couple years so I can't complain now and they want over 100 bucks for the cord. I don't know how much for the mic.
rstacy Posted September 23, 2011 Author #3 Posted September 23, 2011 The J&M system looks great but the price tag scared me away.
Yammer Dan Posted September 23, 2011 #4 Posted September 23, 2011 I have a complete duel headset minus one boom mic and lower cord Parts are crazy. Can't find them and prices are nuts
Rick Haywood Posted September 23, 2011 #6 Posted September 23, 2011 I have a complete duel headset minus one boom mic and lower cord Parts are crazy. Can't find them and prices are nuts Dan which model do you have? I buy my cords for under $40. I will look at my newest one but if I remeber right the cord for it was $100 but founf that a different cord (earlier model) worked fine.
naturbar Posted September 23, 2011 #7 Posted September 23, 2011 looks like a decent gadget for the $$$ - too bad it doesn't offer intercom to passenger other than thru the phone.
ragtop69gs Posted September 23, 2011 #8 Posted September 23, 2011 I have a complete duel headset minus one boom mic and lower cord Parts are crazy. Can't find them and prices are nuts Try looking for what you need at http://WWW.MONOPRICE.COM You'd be surprised at what you may find there.

I agree with you. That is probably the only feature that I would like to add but for the $46, Ill make the call. I would also like to have 4 way communication but thats how we get back to $500.
Yammer Dan Posted September 23, 2011 #10 Posted September 23, 2011 Its a Elite 477 series Rick. I've got some older cords I haven't checked yet. If I can remember where I put them.
playboy Posted September 23, 2011 #11 Posted September 23, 2011 This would never work for me my wife never answers my calls.
