We run a JM wired set, works perfect. Haven't heard any comments on the bluetooth sets. Believe wired is cheaper and doesn't need re-charged.

The big 3 in the USA seem to be J & M, Air rider and EdSets. Bluetooth was big a few years ago, but there were some problems with connectivity, power and especially cost, so wireless seems to be downplayed a bit.
Scala rider is right up there, and they are one that's big on bluetooth, but they seem to be mostly stand-alone systems instead of being set up for existing intercom/stereo/CB systems on some touring bikes.

I agree. The wire can be a little awkward (getting on and off), BUT the system works VERY WELL, is cheaper than bluetooth and never needs to be recharded. If the bike works, the intercom works! Very happy J&M customer!!

We tried the Scala and went back to the J&M. The inter com was fair, but you couldn't get the radio or CB over the Bluetooth and our XM from the Garmin 550.

I have J&M wired and love it. No helmets to sync, no helmet battery problems.

My wife and I use the iMC half helmet and love them. Great for half helmet or no helmet (not that I would ride without one). Nothing to mount and easy to change from one helmet to another.
