Refuse to buy another set
| I've bought three of these sets over the past 20-months and they suck. OK, sound is good, and the speakers fit nicely into the helmet pad, but the weak link in this system is where the cords from the speakers and mic meet and feed into the boom mic. This is a small solder pad where all the wires connect and can pull apart very easily. I've repaired them too many times to be worth the problem. Now the mic won't work and the left speaker went out on a ride today. J&M for me from now on. |

GOOD DEAL
| I bought my first set a few days ago. They sound great. I ended up putting it in my half helmet. It only took a few minutes. The speakers come in a little bag with Velcro. They stuck to the straps on the helmet. Very easy and worth the money. |

Three years of hard use and still going strong
| I purchased two sets of these headsets three years ago when I was at the Wingstuff Store. I was hesitant to buy this thinking I needed to pay at least $200 a set to have something that was good quality and sounded good. The store staff told me that I would be very happy with this headset and they were right! I have had no problems and they have been through a lot of riding. These headsets have a heavy duty cord with heavy duty plugs. The sound is for music is really good. The microphones are not the best in the world, but really not that bad. I have recommended these headsets to everyone I ride with. |

6 MO. And so far perfect
| I have had two sets of these for 6 mo. now and they work like the day they were installed. Sound is very good. Install was easy. Both my wife and I love the sound from these and would buy them again without a second thought |

| I bought this headset for my modular helmet. It installed Okay but not very easy. The wires separated shortly after installing under normal use. I will probably end up ditching this headset. I will attempt fixing it if I can. I will stick w/ J&M or other brands from now on. IMC is cheap & not worth any savings you get. Dr. Ride, M.D.* *Motorcycle Dude |

I like this set because ...
| I also purchased the Vega XTA Touring Shorty Helmet (wingstuff.com) with zip on/off communication curtain at same time to install this headset system. The install was easy and the sound quality is really good. I took the advice of others and zip-tied the headset wiring to the helmet so as not to tug on the thin speaker wires with the lower cord. I do not foresee any problems and plan to follow-up on my review in two months. Overall I was able to purchase a helmet and com system for approximately $123. |

Great for the money
| I've purchased three of these, and two of the external headsets by IMC for use with shorty helmets. The sound quality is very good, up to about 60 MPH. After that, it's hard to get my wife/riding partner to understand me. I had some problems with one of them, and ordered another (at that price, it's not too bad), but when the second one lost one speaker, I pulled off the shrink-tubing and found a broken wire. I chose not to try solder, as they're very tiny. Instead, I twisted the two ends together and wrapped them with electrical tape. Then I secured them under the helmet padding. To keep the cord from pulling them loose again, I used the awl from my small Leatherman, and poked a hold through the rubber trim on my helmet. Using a small wire tie, I secured the cord to the helmet as a strain relief. Since then I've had no problems, and really good sound. If I hadn't had to repair the connection, I'd have given them 5 stars. If you secure the cord when you put the unit in your helmet, you'll give it 5 stars. |

| I have mixed feelings about this headset. The audio quality is actually pretty good for a set of micro-thin speakers. The headset itself is fine, if somewhat flimsy. The Boom mic is sturdy and solid, but is held in place to the shell by Velcro. This will wear out over time. The wiring is well -constructed, but the wire gauge is somewhat fine; this could lead to internal breakage of the wires if they are moved over time. The connection to the lower cord is a very tight fit. This is fine as it will not fall out, but it can be a bit frustrating sometimes. Additionally, it is not mounted to the helmet in any way; it just hangs out when not connected to the lower cord. Although this looks a bit silly, it can be stuffed into the helmet to be hidden. However, the action of pulling it in and out will weaken the fragile wires over time. Best bet: leave the lower cord hooked up all the time. Kind of negates the concept of a two-piece cord however. You get what you pay for in most cases, and all of the "issues" above are reflective of the low price. Thus, I do not find any real issues with any of the above as being a fault of the headset. If I want something more sturdy, I'll pay more than what I paid for this headset; I chose to go inexpensive! This next issue is my biggest irk with the set, and is the main reason the set gets such a low score form me. The lower cord provided is a curled cord that allows it to stretch when necessary. However, it is woefully too short. Dangerously short, I am inclined to say. A headset cord should travel down the body and up the bike to the connection point. But this cord is so short, it make a direct straight connection from the helmet to the bike connection. This places tension on the helmet, causing an annoying pull on the left side of the helmet. (Or the right side, depending on where you have the cord exit the helmet.) Additionally, since the cord is stretched tightly from the helmet to the bike connection by the fairing, the cord is actually in the way of any handling. Granted, one should keep his or her hands on the handlebars at all times, but sometimes the left hand needs to do something else on the bike. The stretched cord can interfere with this. I contacted IMC to ask how they recommend I resolve this, and they responded with the link below. Wingstuff.com does not carry the extension cord that IMC told me about, unfortunately, so I had to order it directly from IMC. Technically, the extension cord is for sidecar use, but the length of the cord is perfect for what I need; an extra 2 feet of cord for me, the driver, so that the cord will not pull at my head and not be in the way of any hand movements. At the time of this writing, IMC charges $18 per extension, plus shipping and tax. Unfortunately, I feel that this cord should have come with the set, or the cord in the set should be at least two feet longer. I am extremely disgruntled that I had to purchase an extra cord in order to safely use what is supposed to be a "complete set." In summary, anyone wanting to buy this headset will find decent sound quality, with some fragile components because of the low item cost. However, for the driver at least, you will also want to order the extension cord from IMC at the link below unless Wingstuff.com starts carrying it.

| Bought a set 1 year ago the cord to the right ear snapped within 8 months. I tried to fix them myself but no go. I bought a second replacement set before mt trip across Canada... less than 3 weeks the same thing happened. I dont know if their made to do this or the're just crap. I'm looking for a better sturdier set. |

| Bought a new wing and thought I would save a few dollars using the IMC headsets but found the volume very low even when cranked all the way up. First thought it was a problem with my audio system but I had a old set of J&M headsets from my first wing and they worked great. Will stay with J&M. |
