Although I don't own one, I have heard only good things about the Collett Communicators.

Chip is correct.
I have used the FRS radios with headsets, and the FRS helmet mounted headsets.
Then I went with the Collett communicators about five years and have never regretted the decision. They hold up the best, intereference is at a minimum at 900 mhz and a lot of folks have them out there on the "common" channel. As an addttional bonus more & more groomers are transmitting a "groomer beacon" signal. Collett is the only communicator that can receive this alert and warn you that a groomer is nearby.
I just bought the newest model that has bluetooth capability. It allows me to use my cell phone or stream music from my player. But I use it to access (via a blue tooth adapter) my commercial two way motorola portable radio I usually have with me.
You get what you pay for. The Colletts are the most rugged, best range and easiest to set up, even for a novice. Plus they have great customer and repair service.
Hey, if my wife can figure it out (much to my chagrin at times) it has to be simple and easy to use!
