«Midland Helmet Headset is GREAT!»
These Midland helmet headsets work GREAT. Easy to install, excess wire fits under pads in helmet. Have wire going out back of helmet to walkie talkie inside jacket/vest pocket then wire goes out bottom of jacket/vest to a push to talk button attached with velcro to handle bar grip. Only real visible wire is from bottom of jacket to grip. No problem. Sound quality is great, push to talk button works every time. We were skeptical but felt it was worth a try for the price. My husband has loud cobra pipes and he can hear me loud and clear even with his visor up on his closed face helmet! This purchase is totally 5 star in our experience with it. I'm a novice rider and wanted to be able to talk to my husband. We spent a total of 104.00 for the headsets and walkie talkies...that's 2 helmets wired for 104.00! Other's have not had the same great experience but our's work perfect!

«Works well and has great sound»
It fit easily into our helmets and was much easier to hear each other talking compared to the ear buds that came with the walkies.

«What? Speak up. I can't hear you.»
You get what you pay for. I purchased these in helmet communication devices for use with my Midland Walkie Talkies. They were cheap and easy to install in my helmets but the sound quality is so poor that the only way I can hear on them is when my wife and I don't have our motorcycles running. A distinct disadvantage for use on a bike trip. Any speeds above 30mph and my wife's voice becomes unintelligible. I only know she is talking because of the static filling my helmet. The other drawback of this product is that the wiring harness connecting the various pieces of the product wraps around me like gauze around a mummy and makes riding uncomfortable. Detaching yourself from set leaves wire hanging from the helmet, the bike and my jacket. I feel like a Borg. The PTT button is so large that it interferes with safe steering and clutch use on the bike. This product seems better positioned as a child's toy and not for a viable biker communication device.
