I will be using it with a Bauer Helmet(W/Enclosed Ears). I will be using this helmet for Indoor Roller Puck hockey and pond hockey. Are both models good? Which is better in you oppinion? I need to kno which to order.
Thanks, Brandon

I've used both, and prefer the HM30. When mounted the usual way, the GMF50 has poor wire placement - the top wire forming the cateye is well within the goalie's field of vision.

GMF50s are a lot cheaper, though, and if you invert the mounting clips, it corrects the problem. I never use mine anymore (too scared to wear combos anymore after taking 7 headshots over three ice times), so if you're interested, I could let it go really cheap (US$10+shipping). I think I've only used it 2-3 times.

Another option is the HM40. They don't have ear coverage, but it sounds like your helmet has got that covered. I think there's one on eBay right now.
