'spose it depends whether you want wired or blue tooth.

I use Scala Rider with the Zumo 550 - BT headset, with mike and single velcro backed 'speaker' loud enough and comfortable, don't notice it TBH.

Only down side I suppose is that the velcro back doesn't stick well to velour type lining. It does come with a sticky backed pad of the 'hairy' side of velcro presumably for this reason, just can't be ar5ed fitting that bit.

As long as you make sure it;s in place before popping your lid on it doesn't move once on.

I use the hard wired type. You get them from Amateur radio shops. They are flat but hook behind the ear. very comfortable. The police use them for theur radios.

I found that I didn't need them at all as the direction message on my Garmin Streetpilot is big enough to notice and read on the move anyway. Admittedly, this is on the TDM where it is quite noticeable anyway.
