I have these, but rarely use them "helmetless" as they a fairly light and move around too much. The weight of the cable can pull them off your ears. I'm guessing they'd work better with a shorty helmet, where the straps can hold them in place.Anybody ever use the IMC headsets. I am talking about the ones that can be worn with a shorty helmet or no helmet at all. They sure have a good price.
Thanks, other than the loose fit how do they perform, if you don't mind me asking.I have these, but rarely use them "helmetless" as they a fairly light and move around too much.

They actually work very well...., just a bit too light to be used comfoprtably without a helmet. In fact, I carry a headset around with me in the trunk in case I need them in a pinch.Thanks, other than the loose fit how do they perform, if you don't mind me asking.
I found them for $80, $75 and on one website for $70 (I think the $70 one was at ChromeWorks. I think they were located in NH). Does the intercom automatically cut in over the music or is that a built-in function of the bike? (Forgive me I am new to the wing). Also do you have any trouble with the wind cutting in and activating them? We were at the falls a couple of years ago and thought they were beautiful. I found it interesting that the U.S. side was National Park and the Canadian side was commerical and reminded me of Gatlingurg Tenn. down here in my neck-o-the-woods.They actually work very well...., just a bit too light to be used comfoprtably without a helmet.

What price did you see them..., I think mine were $75 a set from Sierra.

Yes, the audio system controls the mic and audio and how it overlaps. There's also a setting in the audio controls) that controls how much other devices over-shadow the radio. You can get a product called Mic-Mutes that actually turns the mic off when you're not using it, eliminating and wind/road noise. Do a scan here for "mic mutes" and you'll find lots of info.Does the intercom automatically cut in over the music or is that a built-in function of the bike? (Forgive me I am new to the wing).

On the US side, the park area is indeed a national Park, but on the Canadian side, the roads going past the falls is a regular public roadway, open to the normal development schemes. Niagara Falls (Canadian side) has always been a huge tourist area and has developed accordingly. :lol:We were at the falls a couple of years ago and thought they were beautiful.

Excuse me it was NOT "chromeworks"!! It was chromeworld.com.I found them for $80, $75 and on one website for $70 (I think the $70 one was at ChromeWorks. I think they were located in NH).

I don't use mine all the time, but my wife and I like them. When I first got them and tried them, the sound was so clear and loud that I thought my bike speakers were on.I have a set and my sister and brotherinlaw have them to. I have never had them come loose and move. My sister did and made some kind of hookup to her dew rag. They sound real good and are louder than the headset in the helmet.:thumbup:
My son installed his AUTOCOM on his Goldwing and is using it instead of the standard Goldwing system. A cinch to install... works like a charm, plus we can still go bike to bike!I sure miss my Autocomm I had on my BMW, vox was the bomb. Didn't have all the wind noise.
