Skid Posted August 3, 2012 Share #1 Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) Without searching through 1000's of threads, does anyone offer a good headset for a half helmet? Or even just a hand mic at a reasonable price? Edited August 3, 2012 by Skid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Haywood Posted August 3, 2012 Share #2 Posted August 3, 2012 Skid.... I sort of made one from an old head set for a 3/4 helmet. I cut the speaker wires off and then I use a wire tie to hook the microphone side of my half helmet. It works great and I can listen through the bike speakers. I will show you when I get there and I also may have an extra old one laying around. I will check and bring it if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted August 3, 2012 Share #3 Posted August 3, 2012 Bob Dakin told me this week that he had bought a couple of half helmets and IMC headsets. He said that they work great and he is actually impressed with the speakers. He bought the type that goes around the back of the head but they also have some that fit into the neck curtain pockets. He said he paid in the $70.00 range for them. http://www.sierra-mc.com/products.asp?cat=248 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJD Posted August 3, 2012 Share #4 Posted August 3, 2012 We did buy a couple of these to go with the half helmets.. the speakers are great but the mike is not as directional as the J.M.s....they tend to pick up wind noise. we have the mic-mute so when we are not talking we just shut the mikes off. I think they are going to be just fine, especially for the $75. Got them at Sierra electronics if any one is interested. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted August 3, 2012 Share #5 Posted August 3, 2012 The link I posted was to Sierra. They are a great company to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have a Scorpian Helment the JM headset will clamp onto a half helmet if you have speaker puches in your neck curtains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halfwitt Posted August 4, 2012 Share #8 Posted August 4, 2012 My wife and I use Sena Bluetooth on our 3/4 and they work great. They have a new setup for 1/2 helmets: http://www.senabluetooth.com/products/sph10h.php?tab_menu=overview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
