I bought a pair of these headsets a couple of weeks ago, kept one for myself and gave the other one to my old man for Fathers Day. They were easy to set-up with big buttons that are pretty easy to manipulate while riding with gloves on.
I use mine on either a Bell 500 or Rogue and had read reviews that criticised them for poor audio quality and volume, especially when listening to music, but have found the sound to be more than adequate, even over the wind noise with an open face helmet.
I use the boom mic and my old man uses the small wired mic and they are both pretty effective at picking up voices. We have used them in the intercom mode (tested out to about 400m line-of-sight... the box says 700m but I think about 400m is the limit and range is less than 100m if not line-of-sight) and to make phone calls via blutooth and you can hear eachother clearly but may need to raise your voice slightly to be heard well at freeway speeds.
Overall, this is a pretty good headset and I'd recommend it.
These things seem to be getting pretty popular & have heard many good reports.
Hi Rodrocket
Have you tried out the 20S yet? I have been looking at getting them. I've used the SMH10 before and they where excellent.
Let me know your thoughts on them please?
Cheers

How's the sound quality for speakers with the SMH5? I don't think I need anything more than a smh5, I mostly want it for music. I've found a guy here in Canberra that makes special custom ear plugs for them and does a flashy stereo wired set, which I think I will give a miss. I might get the custom ear plugs, without the stereo bit.
