In-car intercom

I'm normally out in the car on my own but having taken a wee trip in the vx with the girlfriend, I realised it's almost impossible to hear each other without shouting (I know, normally it's a blessing
). Anyone used any headsets they'd recommend to allow talking to each other without shouting? Need to add I don't want to spend hunners on it too since I'm a cheap git

I can talk to my wife fine in our Elise, it must be Vauxhall aerodynamics . Maybe change your front clam ?

think it has something to do with the VSE exhaust too
Drones quite a lot when cruising, especially noticeable with the roof on (not normally a problem but she insisted the roof had to be on
)

try a taller girlfriend and a shorter girlfriend and see if that makes any difference, then pick best of the 3

Tell her the roof is broken and just go for a drive on your own. It'll probably be better anyway...

Plenty rally intercoms and Bluetooth mashups around I think?
This was on my list while we had the S1 because James and I were doing a lot of long distances and he was struggling to be heard
Never got round to researching, so share what you find Ali?

Plug your fave earbuds-mic combo into your phones and you're off!

I had exactly the same problem in my VX.
My wife solved it by saying “I’m never going in that stupid yellow car again”

I could do with something for the Zenos, once over 40mph you cannot hear a thing

yup, lots of bike oriented kits
I guess with a bit of digging one could find something pretty groovy
But I am tired of adding kit, so if the phones can be set up to do it, that's a bonus. Although prob need a twin USB port to keep their batteries alive on the really long trips!
