ChatterBox XBi2 Bluetooth Wireless Intercom - Open Face/Black

Nice try but the Chatterbox unit is poorly engineered. 1st. the unit is only "Water Resistant", you should not ride in the rain with it or it may become damaged. After 3 months of use the battery life is about 5-6 hours then dies. Conditioning the battery does nothing. The full face helmet kit has a microphone that is huge and must be mounted directly in front of your mouth. On Shoie full face helmets it will actually hit you in the mouth. If an accident occured and the chin bar of the helmet gets hit, you'll probably loose your front teeth. In my opinion the design is dangerous. Also, there is no foam sound dampening material over the end of the microphone so above 20-30 MPH you get excessive wind noise. Save your money and buy a Scala Rider unit, it works much better and is waterproof. The sound quality when playing music is also poor and playing it using a bluetooth connection runs the battery down in about 1.0-1.5 hours. There are much better options out there, do your homework before purchasing a chatterbox.

Update , in June I purchased a Scala Rider G9 unit and couldn't be happier. The stero quality is very good. Battery life when playing music is ~ 8 hours. I have it paired with my Blackberry Blackberry Curve and have no problems with the blue tooth connection.

There are 2 issues that are pretty annoying: the first one is that every time you turn on the device automatically calls the last phone number dialed. This happens only if you the bluetooth is enabled in your phone, so be sure it is disabled when you turn on the device. The other one is that the music goes in and out while riding, sometimes very often. If you pair the device again it will go away, but after a couple of days it will come back. Another issue but not directly related to the device: it wont fit a BMW System 5 helmet. I had to unscrew the whole thing and do some magic adapt it to the helmet.

El sistema tiene dos problemas, la verdad bastante molestos: el primero es que cada vez que se enciende el dispositivo, automáticamente se marca el último número al que llamaste en el teléfono. Lo que hay que hacer es encender el dispositivo con la función de bluetooth apagado. La otra es que la música se corta, algunas veces muy a menudo. La solución está en volver a hacerle el pairing al dispositivo, darle al teléfono olvidar y volver a sincronizarlos como la primera vez. Al inicio funciona perfecto pero después de unos días vuelve a lo mismo y hay que proceder con el pairing de nuevo. La forma en que viene diseñado no funciona con un casco System 5 BMW. El micrófono queda muy corto. Yo tuve que quitar los tornillos hacer algo de magia para poder acomodar todo dentro del casco sin generar ningún daño. Definitivamente no es lo que esperaba, sobre todo por su precio.

I only have two issues with this device. First, the battery life isn't amazing, especially when you leave it on the two way function. The second: every time I turn the device on, and it pairs with my iPhone, my phone will call the most recent person I called. Annoying. Other than that, I think they are great. My girlfriend and I can talk to each other when riding. Very useful when teaching her to ride a motorcycle.

Works pretty well. One quirk is every time you turn on automatically dials last phone number called. Music goes in and out while riding, but sound is pretty good when playing.

I use the chatterbox every single time i ride my bike. I love how i can listen to music while im cruising around,. I also love how the devise flashes red and blue, looks sweet at night and draws attention. It's a good side marker to be more visible.

Pro.. I can hear my music at 100mph, volume control is easy, battery life is excellent

Con.. I can't have a phone conversation over 40 mph. it's just too loud and inconvenient. Impractical for any kinda phone usage. Maybe if my passenger had one we could at least communicate.

Overall, i just wanted to use this to listen to my music while i ride. I don't talk on the phone that often, so that feature doesn't really bother me that it's not practical to talk on the phone while riding. I get that i am muffled sounding, and things like that. I have tried positioning mic in multiple areas.

It's ok though, i still love the chatterbox

April 2013 reviewI have had this chatterbox for over 4 years now. This season I went to sync it up with my phone, but the chatterbox isn't sending out any kind of bluetooth signal. I tried calling customer service a few times. Left a message, and haven't been able to find anyone who can help me. Poor customer service. I think this unit is outdated. Trying to figure out which one is the best out there still.
