Open Faced headset
I have only had the headsets for a month but used them the first time this past weekend, weather delays. Install was fairly easy. The speakers fit into the small pockets built into our helmets so that was easy. Mounting the microphone was harder, because the screws supplied were either too short or too long. Solution: cut the longer screws a little shorter and the rest was a piece of cake. So far we are pleased with the headsets. They stay secured to the helmets even with the FRS unit attached. Communication is very clear. We will have to wait to see about the durability.

Chatterbox Headset for FRS unit
The chatterbox open face helmet unit did not work well with the ability to be heard by the other rider. It aloud too much outside noises to interfere with conversations. We had to replace both ear pieces due to the small wire that were easily broken.

I got what I paid for... don't you make the same mistake!
Folks, this is a really cheap product. It works in the beginning but wears out really fast. After just a few uses, the headset will just stop working, and you will be forced to keep buying more headsets. Better to just go ahead and spend your money on a nice intercom system now...that way, you won't have this worry. The cost is not even beneficial when you consider that you have to keep buying more and more and more to keep talking to your cycling partner.

Multisport Chatterbox
I drive a 250cc Virago and my husband has a 1300cc V-Star. He hears me perfectly at all speeds, but I had difficulty hearing him over 50mph. I think the sensitivity with the voice activated speaker is not the greatest on louder bikes. We solved the problem...my husband uses the push button to speak at higher speeds. We still think this system is GREAT for the money and would buy it again given the chance. We also made a custom mount so as not to have the whole unit on our helmets.

The speakers have great sound and for the money I don't think you'll do better. They work perfect for me.

Chatterbox headset
I really like the intercom systems chatterbox sells. I have the HJC 50 Tandem Pro and a set of FRS Multi-sport communicators. The headsets work great with either device. I have purchased 4 headsets so far. The cords are a little thin and don't hold up well even with great care I've had problems with the connectors and shorts in the headset cords. With that said, for the price what can I expect

Open-Face headset review
I was having trouble communicating on my HJC-50 Communicator after buying one of the modular helmets. Those regular headsets for full-face helmets don't work very well. This open-face headset solved my problem and provides much clearer communications. The headset is very comfortable, easy to install on my modular helmet, and doesn't get in the way when I'm not using my Communicator. Great product!
