Quicksilver Posted February 10, 2008 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarges46 Posted February 10, 2008 Share #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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffinman Posted February 10, 2008 Share #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 Share #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 .

screaming red Posted February 11, 2008 Share #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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KitCarson Posted February 11, 2008 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riderduke Posted February 11, 2008 Share #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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Ferrantelli Posted March 13, 2008 Share #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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted March 14, 2008 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Haywood Posted August 31, 2010 Share #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.
