    I have had " Shark " brand ( e-bay ... amazon ) units for my GS and RSS ..... They worked well ( 2 speaker versions - 650 watts ) .... The FM was terrible ( no real antennae ) but I only used them for MP-3 players. .... Considering today's technology I'd go with a Blue-tooth set-up.... the tiny speakers ( wafer thin ) have soom incredible sound..... Some helmets are actually made to provide easy fitment .... Good luck .... Mike

    A lot of bluetooth headsets have FM radios integrated in the unit. The Sena 50r with JBL speakers for the helmet I picked up from Dave has built in station memory plus you can change station/volume all by voice control.

    I just don't feel that need to share my music/talk station with everyone. I have one guy that goes buy my house on his harley being bold with blasting Barry Manilow, Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin at about 4:30 am.

    I listen to my News station on the way in to work in the morning to get live traffic and spotify or pandora on the way home with the added plus of taking/making phone calls if needed. It's a great overall sound solution.

    The biggest problem I have is that just when I find some music that I like and start getting into it, the boss behind me shut me off because she wants to talk!!!

    I guess I'm your wife in our couple, I usually turn on the intercom to point out to my wife stuff that I thought she would enjoy, I did find out the one thing she doesn't enjoy, me interrupting on the intercom!
