I have looked for those as well and the price cannot be justified from
any technical perspective. Everyone it seems looks to cellphones first,
but there is no way they can talk to each other without a tower. They
could make it possible with blue-tooth but they don't. Ought to be a way
to get blu-tooth based headphones to communicate with each other too but
that is not supported either. Then I looked for FRS radios built into
headphones, and back to stupid high prices. I'll bet we could have
purchased something off the shelf at Radio Shack 30 or 40 years ago that
would have worked just fine.
Enough of the rant.
The only thing I have found short of manufacturing something would be a
FRS walkie-talkie with VOX and a compatible headset.

Subject: Stus-List 2-way headsets?
Our anchoring (and our marriage) has benefitted from Cruising Solutions
two-way headsets for 6 or 7 years. The modest ~$80/pair units were great
... but are getting wonky, and I'm looking at replacements. Everything
on the market looks more sophisticated, and a LOT more expensive, at ~
$350 to ~$800 per pair.
Anyone have a modest-priced solution?
Thanks
