Did a search and didn't readily find anthing about non-helmet applications but anyway.... Has anyone come up with a driver/passenger intercom system similiar to motorcycles or airplanes? There's a bike system by Autocom which is nice in that you can plug your radio in it as well. The Autocom system headsets are components to place in a helmet. I would either like earbuds or aircraft type headsets. I'm tired at yelling at my passenger at higher speeds. Any ideas?

 

I like the Nady systems. Used often by instructors on the track.

Didn't "Get Smart " have the Cones of Silence? That worked well!

 

That's a start. But its still really noisy. In fact its noisy with the top up at speed. My wife and I just noticed during a multi-hour trip that by the end we were yelling at each other. Which we weren't doing for reasons other than overcoming the ambient noise.

 

If you have lots of minutes on your cellphones, use earbuds with inline mics to talk to each other.

 

Or how about two cans with a string between them. Looks like I'm on my own on this one.

I bought a set and really like it. Ads a lot of enjoyment to top down motoring when my wife and I are traveling. Can't remember the brand but I lokked on the internet and then called a motorcycle shop and told them what I wanted. They made a recommendation and that's what i got. They are made to use w/o a helmet and just clips over your ear and have a boom mike. Can run on battery or from your power outlet with an adapter, which is what I got.

 

Roll the windows up.
