What's great about it: Great practicality of product and functionality. Clear and rich sound. Installed easily.
What's not so great: not quite sure how it holds up in elements yet like rain. cords are really long which is great but they get in the way.
If you are an avid motorcyclist like me and you would like to talk with your buddies then this product is for you! This is great when talking to my buddies riding the only downfall is all the cords and I am in the process of trying to fix that other than that great product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: Long wires and low volume
When paired with Midland CTX 30 mile water proof radios the volume was so low they were unuseable even over a 4 stroke snowmachine at idle. I purchased 4 of the helmet headsets and 4 radios. While riding the first time we were reduced to using the beeps that could be heard to signal evryone to stop so we could talk.
I am going to sacrifice one headset and modify to see if they can be made usefull. If not the other three will be returned.
I am going to remove the foam cover and the fabric cover over the speaker to see if that helps, If that provides some help I will also clip one of the earphones off as well to see if that reduces the load on the radio to allow a single speaker enough volume.
The cable length is bothersome but can be dealt with using velcro wire ties. However the length and the wire gage may well be the issue with the volume. To much signal loss between the radio and the speaker set.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
