My buddy and I ride motorcycles and this would be a nice, and less expensive, way to communicate with each other. Other systems involve more work (install, set up, learning curve), take more to use (plug in when getting on, disconnect when getting off), and provide less functionality. This device (if we both have one, obviously) would be dual-purpose and easy to use, on or off the bike... as long as we're in range.

100 Meters is a great distance, in my opinion, for something like this, though it would be great for snowboarding if it had more range.

Or the Motorolla S9 which are much more stylish and comfortable but lack good sound quality (especially on phone calls)

Actually your post said 50-100 meters, which I could actually see being useful in certain situations. Thanks for clarifying though, if its actually only 50-100 feet then my interest is gone.

Or hey, how about one that looks like the original star trek ear plug a la Uhura?
I'd buy that for a dollar.

I wouldn't use this for cellphone calls, as for some reason I have an intense dislike for using headsets with cellphones.

On the plus, it looks snazzy and has some potential.
