![]() Some years have passed since I had a new Chatterbox system to play with so I was eager to tear in to the box sent up by the Editor (he really is a nice guy). The Chatterbox XBi2 system is in the ‘reward’ classification, for many reasons. ![]() So charger clag is a fact of life for me.Īs with any technology-specific product, some will reward, some will not and some will just frustrate. These other systems have been providing daily service as well as serving as the baseline for comparison. In addition to the XBi2 systems, I have four other systems undergoing evaluation or in the queue along with three others, including one that is a mix of wired and wireless connectivity. This review of the Chatterbox XBi2 Bluetooth rider-to-rider system is the third in an ongoing series of reviews covering new market arrivals and updated Bluetooth or Bluetooth-based communications systems. With other reviews ongoing and more systems coming out of the woodwork, the XBi2 might have challengers soon, but for now, it is my recommended pick. All of the new systems have leading edge features - some more, some less, but none of them have packaged it as well as Chatterbox.Īlthough the XBi2 doesn’t have the same media switching sophistication of other systems and the headset needs improving (most do - remember, A2DP…), everything else it does, it does better.

It takes a day or two for everyone to get used to the controls but once everyone is reasonably competent the results are great. To make it easier used the video we created on the X2 Slim to get people up to speed. It’s not always easy introducing new tech to clients on tour. ![]() In 2022 we tried something different, we put a unit on everyone. Red Leader this is Gold Leader we starting our attack run now After using them for 5 years we can’t imagine running a tour without them. The increased range and clarity of the radio system of the Chatterbox X2 slim was the professional grade answer. Doing so allowed us to have a better tour experience, we could ride longer routes and keep everyone together. For years we always put Chatterbox X2 Slims on our tour guides helmets so the tour leader could stay in contact with he sweep rider. You have to keep people informed and keep the tour flowing so everyone has fun and you get to the damn hotel before the sun goes down. When you are running a tour you’ve got to keep your group together. Rider communication is more than just fun with your buddies while you are riding together.
