The 3/4 helmets (and headsets I assume) that came with our bike are almost 20 years old and I want to get new flip-front style helmets. Pricing online headsets (J&M, Edsets) I'm looking at a minimum $160 per helmet...is that correct? What other options do I have?

New helmets means new headsets?

Re: New helmets means new headsets?
Sounds about right. What helmets are you getting.
I bought Nolan's with Nolan systems. Check this thread for more info. If you are looking at the Nolan com system make sure you are getting the latest stuff.

Re: New helmets means new headsets?
I got the Sena SMH10 (dual set) for my modular (flip up) helmets. They've also got a setup for 3/4 helmets. Keep in mind these are bluetooth and work perfectly fine for cell phone, intercom, and other bluetooth devices but do not work with the CB/AM FM (That's another little toy for later purchase)

Re: New helmets means new headsets?
I also have the Sena SMH10, on full face helmets. They are very capable, and if I recall correctly within the price range you show.
Sena also recently introduced the SMH5, a smaller and less expensive version of the 10. Has fewer bells and whistles, but apparently also very capable, especially of bike to bike communication. Here is a link to the Sena website for more information about these two options. http://www.senabluetooth.com/
This next link is for bluetooth intercom reviews at web bike world. Pretty much all the information you could want in a review format. The Sena units are there, as well as pretty much every other make of bluetooth, motorcycle intercom.

Just scroll on the right side of the page to see the various units, and link to their reviews.
Happy hunting!
