Not sure when a guy stops saying Happy New year, but all the best in 2012. Thanks for the info. The SENA is more money for sure. I think the last time I looked on eBay, a pair of the units complete were about $300. So twice as much. How long have you had yours? I do like the simplicity of using the Sena. And now they have updated the firmware to allow for conference talking between 3. Not the 6 the shark offers but a big improvement to what Sena offered before. I you have good reports on these I might just try them. But first, I need to get back, up country and hope they've got more snow than when I was up there at Christmas. I see a trailer or a skid for the pick up truck in my future. My apologies for highjacking the thread, sort'a. Be safe out there.

UClear HBC-100
I have been using the UClear HBC-100 and am loving it. I use it with my HJC carbon fiber full face helmet (which I love for its lightness and comfort) - it works great and will work with virtually any helmet. What I love the most is that it’s really small (no wind noise to speak of), it doesn’t have the boom (I hate these) and the sound quality is much superior to everything I have tried before. It’s flat out superior technology at a great price. My girlfriend also has one and we can use it to talk to each other without yelling (phew!). It connects through to my iPhone and I have been using the Pandora app to listen to music which is great. My girl has an HTC phone and it works with hers as well. Full disclosure: I work with a company that works with UClear but have been riding motorcycles for 30 years and have been using the HBC100 for over a year. This thing just works!
You can check it out at http://www.uclearstore.com. I think you all will be impressed! If you have a chance to check it out, I'd love to know what you think. |

I don't have a headset as I ride solo but sometimes a boom mic is necessary if you don't have a full face helmet. No place to mount a mic. If I ever get stupid enough to grab up another old lady, she can just poke me in the ribs if she wants something. Just not that much to say. Besides, I want to listen to the stereo and the pipes.

Headsets are something Ive never considered using on the bike, we have used them on the snowmobiles and found them pretty good overall, the set we had received some interference when around other people with headsets at some of the busier trails, but that may have been preventable with some adjustments.

Midland BT
I use a Midland BT Dual at Amazon it seems often confused with the S or Single version. If you get a dual like from above you get 2 fully functioning headsets that can BT intercom (full duplex). It can also BT mobile like Voice Activation, Nav, Music, heck you could watch video. It also supports FMRS/GMRS/CB radios through an auxillary port. It could also be setup wired for power and external radio. I don't know how much I would trust the connectors. I have yet to opt for a compatible radio to test it. Sound level output leaves something to be desired. I used some foam to space them closer to the ear, huge improvement! Noise cancellation is pretty kick butt, nobody can ever tell. My helmet is also modular, with the face up no problems until highway speeds. Still usable though without doubt.
I have unlimited mobile minutes so I have never used the actual intercom just CDMA, worked well but I rarely have a passenger to test with. Voice activation seems to be limited to my phone, it works about as well either way. Neither is great. It's the contacts name that seem the most troubling. Also my phone will not read the CallerID so you have no clue who is calling in while riding. I chose not to utilize the auto answer capability of my phone. If I get something else it will be wired... and cost more then three times as much. The interface kinda blows... Really though I think most BT headsets do. Anyway make sure you have a copy of the manual at all times. It works well... Just not as easy as it probably could be to get it working. ~$180 for 2 is really hard to beat on price...

Picked up a J&M CB setup on ebay.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/120821468264...84.m1438.l2649 So I'll see how this works out, I would like CB for longer range and broader acceptance. |

Modular Helmets
The Shark Evoline 2 is a great design that the chin bar not only flips back on the helmet but the clear shield stays down over your face, has a sun shield, and has it's own bluetooth system available or you could add another brand.

be buying a new helmet in the future. I presently have 2 Nolans. But I'm liking the features of the Sharks chin bar. I found this, it shows how the Shark Evo helmet works.
