Good idea this part of forum. I think cordless headsets must be possible. Bluetooth etc make this a possibility. With rechargeable litium ion battery it would last for many days before recharging is needed.

Damn good idea, it would look so much better with out the umbilical cord attached to the bike.

I am surprised one of the after market companies haven't gone down this route.

This is a Great Idea, I know I would be interested in a Cordless Headset.

Great idea, but what happens when you have a gathering of wings?

One way to get everyone talking to each other, i guess?

It could be made like car alarms, you program your headset to your bike and your bike only.

This would be fairly simple to accomplish.  Especially with the addition of a GPS computer to the newest model.  The only down side is that when batteries and bluetooth transmitters get involved, the thing starts to get a bit bulky. The solution then would be to fit the headset into a specially made Hondaline helmet.  Sounds like a good idea to me.

They may be able to do this in the US, ALOT of cell phones now have this and they dont interfere with each other while all in the same room. I dont know about the foriegn laws and frequencies to know if they could do this, say in the UK.  Another thing to worry about is crossing into other countries. I know at one time they would take the microphones from c.b. and ham gear (and seal them in a tamper evident bag) if you crossed into Canada from the US.

There are already Bluetooth headsets on the market.  Here is a link to one:

Although it is not integrated with the onboard intercom system, I am sure that that aspect is not too far out there.  We are going more and more towards wireless every day.

Isn't there a cordless head set called Chatter box. I believe they have about a two mile range on them. I have seen snowmobilers in my area with them on their helmets.

The problem with the chatterbox is it does not integrate with the bikes radio/intercom system. Which is what I believe the originator of this post was thinking, and so was I.
