Those ones on fleabay are great for the price.Me,my mate and his wife used them when we went to Spain on the bikes this year.I could hear him clearly up to about 80 mph.It also paired with my sat nav(tom tom),and again,could be heard clearly up to almost 100 mph.They take about 3 hours to charge and will last nearly 2 days of intercom and sat nav use.

We got the 500 metre ones and they were clear up to about 250 metres which is when they started to break up.

But...They they don't seem to like getting wet.We got caught in some heavy rain in France,and although it carried on working fine during the rain.The next morning,mine was dead....even after being on charge..This is the second one I've had that's done this.My mates wife's one went the same way..Incidentally though,my mate's had his a couple of years and it's still going strong.So ok for a cheapy,and could be worth taking the chance,but if you want something to work after it gets wet,probably better spending more and getting a Scala.
