Decent quality BT headset?

[RazMan]

Having set up my R3GT bluetooth connectivity nicely, I was appalled by the tinny sounds coming from my Sena SMH5 intercom. Everything connects and works as it should but the sound quality is just horrible. I am not expecting hifi by any means but surely there has to be something better than this? Oh and before anyone makes the inevitable suggestion to wear ear-buds, I find them too isolating (from traffic noises) and painful to wear inside a helmet.

So what is the answer guys?

I spotted the Sena Impulse some time ago and thought it might be the answer to my dreams but their sizes are not right for me (3XL) and my choices are a bit limited. So far I have found that Scorpion and Icon are the only ones that fit reasonably well. I have just bought the Icon Airflite Ultrabolt and just need to install decent speakers. JBL do a good 45mm driver, coupled with a Cardo unit which comes in at hefty £300!
