Bluetooth headsets

[BigNorm]

I love my Scala. It was nice being connected with my son on our last ride together

Although in the past I've never had much interest in it I am looking into adding Bluetooth into our helmets so that I can communicate with my boy Josh on our way to Stearns.

Can't he read flags signals? - Blip throttle in morse. Kids these days huh!.

It is quite a journey for his first long distance ride , take it nice and easy plenty of stops to hydrate and stretch the legs, he will be fine looking forward to meeting both of you

I'm sure this topic has been discussed before, but since I am to lazy to do a search and I'd like a fresh perspective I thought I'd pose this question to the esteemed and not so esteemed (you know who you are) members of this forum.

Any brands I should look at or stay away from? Does my helmet need to be Bluetooth compatible? how much can I expect to pay for a decent one? any must have features?

I thank you all in advance
sincerely

I have had/used half dozen of these over the years.
The Sena SMH 20s has been the best.

Jim,
If all you want is to communicate with your passenger son without all the bells & whistles, there are much less expensive options.
Perhaps consider this dual setup:

Trust me -
Josh, Jim's older boy, is a real good, and ALL, boy . . . in spite of his wild-ass Daddy!

I use the SENA 10R with the handle bar remote. I also have th SENA SMH10 and they pair up well and very clear. They are also very slim so minimal wind drag. SENA also have a set that is nearly invisible as it is designed for particular helmets

Jim,I went with the HBC 200, I’m open face rider,liked the fact that it was a boomlees system,tuck the mike system under the liner of the helmet. Easy to hook up to other brands etc. I would get my wife’s music going in the earbud,then program the navigation from her phone into it,she loved it. Good battery life,clear on the two way function.

I have a question - how much weight does a bluetooth box add to the lid?.
The SENA lid is heavy-ish.
