Well the title says it all. Any brand in particular any of you guys using? experiences? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Saw this one and it looks interesting:

BlueAnt InterPhone all day long. I've used Nady, Chatterbox ans Scala, and the BlueAnt outperforms them all by a long shot...and under $100 each. It's a great phone bluetooth headset, and has an intercom radio as well. When I'm on my XB9S with race pipe and my girlfriend on her Blast with a Vance and Hines pipe (LOUD!), we can effectively communicate up to about 60 mph with no wind noise or engine noise being transmitted. At speeds above that, I just can't get it loud enough to overcome the noise of the pipes (nor would I want it to, because any louder would likely cause hearing damage).

Good customer service to boot. I would recommend these things all day long.

Not to sidetrack the thread, but I'm looking for something similar. I don't have a bluetooth headset at all, I'd like to get one I can use in my car like a normal headset or that I can use on my bike in my fullface helmet, both for my phone and to talk to another rider (either on my bike or separate.) Thanks

Andy...that ear piece physically go in your ear or under the padding of the helmet?

The earpieces fit in the "holes" of the padding that your ears fit in. I really like my Chatterbox, very loud if you need it to be, and lots of inputs even with bluetooth capability.

We have several good threads located in the KV about BT headsets

Before I can give an further guidance, I need to know exactly what you want a BT headset for.
1) Phone calls
2) Music
3) Navigation
4) Intercom (rider/passenger)
5) Short range com (bike to bike)

Well, actually I will only use it for music and phone. I don't currently use or plan to use a navigation system. Also I ride alone most of the time (or with the wife).
