birin Posted July 15, 2008 Share #1 Posted July 15, 2008 The posts on this site seem to lean towards the J&M headsets and additionally that the least expensive ones work quite well. I wanted to but an inexpensive set due to limited two up riding. Asked the vendor for the JM-HS-8154 -FF for my wife's full face HJC helmet and the and the JM-HS-8154 -OF for me. Vendor responded that the mic on the open face was not long enough to reach the mouth?? Anyone using the JM-HS-8154 -OF model? Any feedback on performance?

V7Goose Posted July 16, 2008 Share #2 Posted July 16, 2008 I have those installed on three flip front Nolan helmets. They work great. Goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maritimer Posted July 16, 2008 Share #3 Posted July 16, 2008 That is the exact same I use on my 3/4 helmet and it reaches fine. Of course, different helmet could fit differently but for mine it is great with some room to spare. I just love mine and for $59.99, you just can't go wrong. I adjusted the ear piece so they sit closer and more centered to the ear and the sound quality has greatly improved. I don't mind listening to music in the headset now, even for fairly long periods of time. I am sure you will enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Myers Posted July 16, 2008 Share #4 Posted July 16, 2008 Where did you find that for $59.00? I thought I was doing good for 69. At your price I'll buy a spare for the odd chance I lose a helmet. I have a older, cheaper non disconnect headset that is approaching 8 years old and it finally has a wire broken inside. J&M is good quality merchandise.

Maritimer Posted July 16, 2008 Share #5 Posted July 16, 2008 I got mine from http://www.sierra-mc.com/categories.asp Good service and fast shipping. I can't connect to the site at work behind a firewall but last time I checked the price was still the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Myers Posted July 17, 2008 Share #8 Posted July 17, 2008 Only one I see on that link for under 60 is a one piece-non removable cord. Mine for 69 is a standard 2 piece with removable cord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Myers Posted July 17, 2008 Share #10 Posted July 17, 2008 The one I posted has a removable cord......That is the one I own. Description says one piece but picture shows a two piece. It looks identical to the 8144ff that I bought 2 of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Posted July 17, 2008 Share #11 Posted July 17, 2008 look here http://www.wingstuff.com/cat_electronics.php No good for a Canuck to shop there, the UPS shipping fees will double the cost. A few that bought there & got hit with brokerage & other fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was quite acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
