Default Bike to Bike communication sets

So I'm looking to get a relatively cheap but well working in helmet bike to bike/ bike to passenger communication set. I have found a few for under $100. Which is what I want to spend, if something is just a bit above it I may consider it. I DO NOT WANT THE CHATTER BOX AS IT IS WAY OVERPRICED. I have found these so far:

Nady MRC 11

NADY PMC-2X

NADY MRC-11X 22
http://www.goelectronic.com/Me...ADIOS


This is the one I'm liking the most right now.

I used one on my cross country trip, we were all wired in. We sewed the wires and headphones into the helmets, and used velcro to attach the speakers. I think we spent $50 per person, I think that included some used walkie talkies off ebay. I don't know off the top of my head what brand this was, but it was pretty shitty. The biggest issue was the wire leading to the mic getting disconnected. Sound quality is OK if you have a helmet that doesn't let in a whole lot of moving air. Otherwise when you speak other people will just hear gibberish and static. The push to talk button is on a seperate wire that you route down yoru sleeve and can velcro to the left grip.

They are very useful, I highly recommend bike to bike communication.

it would actually appear that the middle one is the only one that can plug into itself with 2 headsets. I think the last one means I need to buy one per passenger. any other suggestions?

I guess the don't actually have the photos of how the headset looks for two of them. Like I said, I only have experience with the one I used. It had two seperate headphones that could be placed or sown into the helmet, and little mic that was attached inside the helmet as well, and a push to talk button on a seperate wire that went down your arm.

I can't really comment on the ones you posted.
