Non-boom mic for Cardo in open face helmet (lemmy.world)

I put a packtalk edge in my wife’s open face helmet so she can listen to music while she’s on the back of the bike. Although you could argue the silence is nice for me, I’d still like her to be able to talk to me also, but she insists the boom mic ruins the aesthetics of the helmet and I get her point. Anyone have experience with just using the button mic or a different microphone in an open face helmet? It’s a Shoei J.O to be specific.

I havens tried open face but I expect any mic to be overwhelmed by wind noise. I use a boom in a full face because the button mic sounds like garbage.
