chatterbox's suck from everything I have heard

[Rider]

I've never used them so I don't know anything about their quality, but I've been on several rides with guys that use them and I've never heard a complaint, but then again I never asked about them.

How deep are your pockets? Either of these systems are considered top drawer.

The beaher I don't consider top drawer as it is the FRS/900MHz ones I was referring to that suck over 40mph. I could build those myself as a matter of fact. Wired systems are not something I am looking for, unless I can find a headset worth a damn in a helmet, building the wiring harness would be really cheap and easy, then just plug it in a basic FRS radio.

I have heard the same for the starcomm as well.

The last time I researched, Baehr was the business for what *I* was looking for, but if it doesn't suit your needs...

Definitely stay away from Chatterbox. They are a waste of money.

For me, all I would buy from Baehr is the headset. I could build the box myself. Pretty much if it is an all wired system, there is nothing to those things except multiple connections you could buy at radio shack for $2 a pop and build the complete box for under $30. I would really like something with BT to cut down the wires.

Hell, if you can build the Baehr box, can you build me a couple for less than the $1000 per box they go for?

collett seems to be nice, but looks to be chatterbox ish. Everything on adv rider points to Scala Q2s as the best for clarity, but they just hender the attachment access. I may try to mod one of those fuckers to let me use FRS.

BTW I've used several different communication systems. The only decent conversation I ever had while riding was with my and buddy's phones wired into a Chatterbox intercom systems. But the part that was the key to that success was the NOJ Quiet Rider. In my experience, this is where most of the noise comes from in a helmet and the best lids have the best neck guards.
