    Anyone spec out headsets lately? Need BASIC

    I'd like to come up with something really basic for helmet headsets. Most everything seems to come up way complex. Anyone have any experience? here's what I want:

    Wireless would be good, close to mandatory.

    Mainly would just want FM radio. AM would be fine too, but I think that usually requires an antenna, which gets away from "basic".

    I don't own an iPod, I guess if a system WOULD work with an iPod IF I'd ever buy one it would be OK.

    Not in the market for a nav system or radar detector, so I wouldn't care a whit if it worked with either of these.

    Don't really want cell phone stuff, neither of us have a bluetooth phone anyways, and we take the bike to GET AWAY from those types of things.

    And my wife and I might want helmet to helmet intercom along with this, if it did not add a bunch of money to it, but we WOULD both want the tunes, preferably with seperate stations (I'm a little bit country, she's a little bit rock and roll, as Donny and Marie used to sing).

    So mainly just want wireless tunes in the helmet and possibly an intercom in case we happen to be on talking terms.......

    EDIT: if the 2 different stations is a big problem, I could listen to what she wants to when we are together.
    EDIT 2: Bike to bike communications NO concern at all.

    Checking around tonight online, am leaning towards "Cardo Scala-rider Q2". There is a similar one w/o radio capability (that I can interpret anyways) called the Teamset (vs Q2). I think I could do some sort of radio interface with that if it were bluetooth, not sure right now. The Q2 looks like we could each listen to our own audio (either the built-in FM radio, or some other bluetooth source. Intercom can be VOX or more of an "open mike", there is a fancy word for that. Only problem with Q2 is you need 2 of them so looking at $300 or so.
    Can also do bike to bike with the same unit, and seems easy to install. So possibly if I'd go for a ride with one of my brothers for example, we could "borrow" her unit (she probably wouldn't go anyways) and my brother and I could do bike to bike.
