I've often wondered about these and thought it would be nice to be able to communicate but I'm assuming they with block out the bulk of the engine noise and I'm not sure I could handle that. I keep a close ear on my babies.

I'm not the OP but I am also looking for affordable headsets for next summer. My Donzi puts the wind directly in our faces unless I clamp on the deflectors. The muffs we wear stay on fine if we just put the band forward a bit, like across our foreheads more. Cash Bar, do you think we could push them forward and keep them on our heads at 80 mph or 70 mph cruise? The price is right! I will price out the Sampsons also.

Sounds good. Thanks. I will probably order two to start and then add two more if I like them.

Put a mike in the engine compartment. Pretty much once I get close to 80 all I can hear is wind noise and that's even with the mufflers off. I can barely keep my hair on at 80, I would need a chin strap to hold a headset that large on.

Yes, it's the wind noise that is the problem. We do not wear ear muffs when the windscreens are clamped on. The engine sound is behind us and I also like to be able to hear if anything is making an unusual sound. On the hot days the wind in the face feels very good!

Edit, I just looked and the same Brand Cash Bar has makes them for helmets as well.

The Raceiver was mandatory for our divisions without radio communication. One of our officials would broadcast to all of the drivers simultaneously, made for lineups way faster, good for calling caution or red condition as well
