Quicksilver Posted February 10, 2008 #1 Posted February 10, 2008 Anyone know if a head set is made to be used without a helmet or a half helment. And what kind do you think has better sound I thought about the yamaha ones. But somtimes I do not wear a helmet when going for a short ride. And would like to purchase a half helmet, So would like to find a headset that could do both. Or is that a pipe dream.
sarges46 Posted February 10, 2008 #2 Posted February 10, 2008 sierra electronics as just about everything you will need. If you buy from Yammi...you are going to pay big bucks!
muffinman Posted February 10, 2008 #3 Posted February 10, 2008 I had a set made by audivox that Factory now has I got them from Taz at the first vogel.As for sound quality I personally dont understand someone that rides a bike wanting great sound quality from the bike or the headsets I must be deaf or something cause they both sound decent to me.Sorry but I am more into the ride than anything even though I just found the Sinatra channel on sirius thursday.

BEER30 Posted February 11, 2008 #4 Posted February 11, 2008 I only need a headset I can understand what is being said , no matter the quality . Bad enough people have to understand what I say with no teeth and mouth full of chaw .:rotf: If I need something that is sound studio quality , well I might as well stay home and turn up the surround sound . But my age now , I've notice the sense of hearing fading slowly away . Perhaps, just a hand mic for the CB will do for you and listen to the external speakers . BEER30
Little Bob Posted February 11, 2008 #5 Posted February 11, 2008 Sierra has a set that can be used without a helment. About 76 ea. Going to order later Monday.
Quicksilver Posted February 11, 2008 Author #6 Posted February 11, 2008 Thank you is there a web site for sierra so I can order. Thank you Quicksilver
screaming red Posted February 11, 2008 #8 Posted February 11, 2008 Quicksilver, I always use a half helmet but did'nt want to pay over $200.00. I found a company at the Toronto bike show called IMC motorcom websit www.imc-motorcom.com. The ones I bought are HS-G45. Only paid $75.00 and outstanding sound and fit quality. I ride with 3 other venture riders and all bought these headsets. Screaming Red

Guest KitCarson Posted February 11, 2008 #10 Posted February 11, 2008 I must be deaf also.....I have a good 200 dollar headset and also a Wingstuff J and M........I honestly cannot tell the difference in either......and the Wingstuff headset was like 60 dollars....and came with a drop cord.......I like the headset for a group ride....as for the radio......okay once in awhile....but I like to hear the bike.......the motor.....do not much care for tunes on a bike.....but have honestly used both sets with an MP3 player....cannot tell a bit of difference.........as for the original question......Wingstuff makes a half helmet set......for about 60 dollars also. Use it till one of the little wires breaks somewhere......and you can get parts for them also.
Riderduke Posted February 11, 2008 #11 Posted February 11, 2008 Quicksilver, Here is the link for the helmetless headset. I have a set and the sound as good as the other ones I've heard. They would be better if they could be adjusted to fit tighter over my small ears:whistling: http://www.sierra-mc.com/proddetail.asp?prod=IMC%2DHS%2DG45U

Did you buy at the show or can they be bought in the GTA. Does the patch cord that comes with it (it says compatible with a Wing) also fit the RSV or did you have to buy one seperate from them. Thanks

We just bought a pair of IMC motorcom HS-G45 with Goldwing OEM connection for $75 each. HiFi speakers - good sound, and cable came with it.
1rooster Posted March 13, 2008 #15 Posted March 13, 2008 I ain't cheap but I can be had. A $3 set would be good enough for me.

Ferrantelli Posted March 13, 2008 #17 Posted March 13, 2008 To everyone with the HS-G45, can this headset be used with a 1/2 helmet and are they comfortable?
Animal Posted March 14, 2008 #18 Posted March 14, 2008 To everyone with the HS-G45, can this headset be used with a 1/2 helmet and are they comfortable? Yes, they can. I do. It is a little tight on the ears with the helmet neck cuff on, but not bad. I have not tried it with out the neck cuff yet.

Rick Haywood Posted August 31, 2010 #21 Posted August 31, 2010 Guys I have never paid over $90 for a headset and I have 4 of them The last one was J&M's best one and I bought it on ebay for $67 I also have one for a half helmet and one for no helmet. The only complaint I have with the helmetless one is it hurts my ears/head after about an hour or so. The j&m's are on ebay and amazon in fact there is one on ebay right now with like 1 hour left for $60 but it is for a 3/4 helmet. Goldwing or yamaha headsets are the same.
