the headset you get will depend on the helmet style you wear so you may want to post what style helmet you have

Beware!
You usually get what you pay for when it comes to headsets.
Good sound is worth the extra cost.

On a slightly related subject..
My experiment with the little VAIO power booster for my ipod was a semi- flop. Anything above 35 mph, you can't hear the music through the helmet headset, even at full volume (back to the ear buds).
2nd experiment: FM modulator from Radio Shack. It plugs into the bottom of your IPOD and charges it while playing over an empty FM channel. While it works pretty good, it only brodcasts well in one place on the fairing, that puts in out in the direct sunshine and weather. :head bang: I'm going to take it back and get an older version that uses an antenna splitter box.
There's an answer out there somewhere. :laptop:

I have Vetter fairing and replaced the radio with an AM/FM/CD/iPod unit. The iPod section came with a cable which charges it at the same time and works with a remote (as well as the radio controls). I installed Infinity speakers and they are clear as a bell at 70 MPH! (Doesn't help with the Clarion or headset, but might be an option worth considering)
I was rather disappointed with the sound quality of the headset I got from J&M. I have heard good reviews for EdSets and would probably try them next time.
