IMC Gold Wing Helmetless OR Half Helmet Motorcycle Headset w/Noise Cancel Mic

i got mine before rick started carrying them. mine is for the harley, feel free to pass this on to your harley friends (if you have any) make sure they let him know what year of HD it's for.

here goes... got for use with 99 venture with shortee helmet. I gave them a 6 day 1450 mile test here is what I found. First for the price I recommend, the wind problem in mic was solved by installing mic on/off switch from air rider plugged right in-line. Next problem was headband murdered the ears after a couple hours especially with sunglasses, went to the optional goggles strap that helped but by day 3 ears really hurting. Finally tied to helmet staps to take pressure off and that worked really well. All and all we loved using them for our first headset ever. The price was right even with the on/off. and for long trips tie to helmet, really like the fact that we can use without helmet since we live in Ohio

Make sure you wear them correct! Your ear has to be between the earpiece and the plastic frame. After i put it on correctly they fit ok and sounded great.

I developed cervical disc bulges so had to go to half helmet. I use CB and listen to music through my FF helmet, so needed a good set for HH. Came across this one and was worried about the price (considering J&M wants $250 for "stereo quality sound" version.

BUT I was very, very surprised at the quality of music sound!! Outstanding and of equal quality to the J&M stereo set in my FF. Other riders say CB sound is normal.

HOWEVER ONLY ONE PROBLEM. Who ever designed these headsets has not worn them for more than an hour. They don't stay on ears well, and begin pressing your ear lobe to the point of pain. I have learned to bend the heck out of them, then went a step further and glued a 1 inch thickness of foam to the ear pieces and now they are comfortable (sort of).

I DO agree with the other reviewer, you need to get a clip and hold the cord to your coat or vest to take pressure off the left ear piece.

For the money I would recommend them, wish they were of different design. I'll probably do a little more modifications to these this winter.

just got the headset on thursday 8/20/09, took a five hour ride ,the sound it top, my wife said the mic was clear. for those who are having a problem with the wind muting the radio, try adjusting the ic mute level to around 10 or 11 this really works. if you adjust the ic volume to around 14 or so this really helps also. i agree the cord is too heavy and causes my left to hurt so i put a clip on the cord and clip it to my vest to take the pressure off my ear. this is the only real gripe i have. thus the 3 stars
