Very affordable and yet loaded with impressive features, the O’Neal Commander Bluetooth helmet is what price conscious riders have been looking for a long time. The Bluetooth capability is the highlight and it should be. 10 hours of talk time, 100 foot rider to rider intercom and GPS voice commands make this a great helmet for touring and commuting. Additionally, the Commander boasts a drop down sun shield and flow through venting. For riders looking for a lot of bang for their buck, this is it.
I just bought two of the HJC Max-IS BT helmets. The helmets were $199 each and the Chatter Box Bluetooth units were $250 each. After tax there wasn't much change left out of a $1000 bill.HJC IS-MAX BT Bluetooth Helmet

I have two of the HJC IS-MAX BT with two Chatterbox Bluetooth units and I am well pleased with them. Got them about a month before my SS arrived. I haven't had another type of helmet to compare them to but I have no regrets of buying them, except maybe the price. Especially the Chatterbox units at $250 each.What are some of the best helmets that come are bluetooth ready?

I just bought the wife and I this helmet and we really like them. I didn't buy the sena yet until I do some riding to see if we even need them.If you are interested in a 3/4-style helmet, I've been considering the Bell Mag-9 Sena helmets which I saw referenced in another thread.

I have not purchased my SS yet, so am still researching helmets as well.

Yes, you can pair each one to the radio and you can also pair each one to separate cell phones and still talk to each other with the microphone.Can you pair both to the radio at the same time
With a regular passenger you may not need the Sena but my wife talks ALOT. It is a lot easier to hear her with my chatterbox unit. You don't have to holler and lean over to hear each other. Works very wellI just bought the wife and I this helmet and we really like them. I didn't buy the sena yet until I do some riding to see if we even need them.
