I had a J&M unit years ago on a dresser. And I have a motocomm unit now. Not so bad on the J&M, as the headset screwed into the helmet. The Motocmm is adecent uint for the money. On the J&M if I walked away and forgot to dis-umbilical it was only a small jerk. On the Motocomm unit I risk yanking the ear pieces apart, as they are a lot less forgiving. Both use PS2 style cord ends (like a mouse or keyboard use). You can just stick the Motocmm in your coat, but I don't like having something that is going to fall under me if a I fall off (and leave a nice big bruise).
