Sena SMH-5 works as intercom and bluetooth for phone, music player or GPS. Runs about $130 and is one of the cheaper ones though still good quality.

Non expensive?

I love mine. Comms work great, even out of sight (but not too far). Headset speakers could be a little better but I think it's a great value.

SENA all the way!
I started off with the Midland and was disappointed with the overall performance, especially the volume auto adjust. Its tends to reduce the sound so much at low speed that you can't hear well. It also drops connection a lot. However, I got the SEHA 10 and its great! Stick to the SENA.

I have the Cardo Scala Rider G4's, and I love them. They just came out with the G9's not that long ago. I would recommend them.

I have a similar Shark headset. Love them. Great price considering the features and performance.
Those are shark, at least that's what my box says. I have the 688 that can connect up to 6 riders albeit one at a time. Like you said the features alone make this a good deal. How well it does it makes it a great deal.

I like it for being on call with work. Used to have to take the truck, This headset has auto answer, and voice dialing. I usually pull over anyway, but I can receive the call, and finish the conversation without pulling off my helmet.
Phone function still works when synced with other riders too.

You cant program speed dial numbers on mine that I know of, you have to know the actual number, which in the smart phone age is becoming difficult...

Not only smart phone age....my age...sometimes I have a hard time remembering were I live....or at least that is what I tell my wife when the waether is beautiful and I take the long way home
More importantly, everyone I've spoken to while on the bike can't tell I'm on the bike.

Before I had my Shoei, at highway speeds I had some complaints.
The main complaint I have about the phone portion is that the ringing isn't quite loud enough and sometimes I hear someone talking to me when I'm riding.
Still startles me...
Me too. Or my music just stops and there's someone speaking.
I don't ride on the highway often so I've never taken a call at those speeds.

I recommend the uclear which im using now.
This is good for communication between rider and pillion. Plus the mic is integrated with speakers!

Rocketmoto.com has incredible customer service, and will give you a discount on the SMH-10 if you belong to advrider.com. I was a long-time lurker over there, but joined when I saw the group buy thread.
The unit itself is good quality. Sounds pretty good and the battery has very long life (I went two full days of riding with lots of music and intercom before I had to charge it).

I just got my Shark 688 in the mail today. Got it all set up in the helmet. I will post again when I have a chance to actually use it. Mine came with 2 set ups and it cost me 100 bucks with shipping. Found it on Amazon.
