We are currently trying to decide between the Collett 900 and the Chatterbox frs-x2. I have been trying to weigh the pros and cons of each unit. My husband and I will use it mostly for rider to passenger comm. with possibly bike to bike if anyone we ride with decides to get units. What are your experiences with these two units or is there another unit you would recommend? Thanks alot!

No experience with any of them (We're looking for a good set too) and, I'll throw in another name - just to confuse the issue even more.... http://jmcorp.com/.

I can only recommend the one i have since it's the ONLY one i've had.

I just saw too many negative reviews on the chatterbox system and I didn't want anything hanging on my helmet making more noise.

I have the advance. Check out the demo video they have that shows how the high speed wind does not interfere at all with the mic.
The only issue I've had is that it can be tough to get the vox set juuuuuust right so that your voice can easily cut out the music but the wind or other noise does not. It's a fine line. But once you get it you're golden.
It's easy to set up, the unit is the size of a pack of cigarettes so it's easy to find a spot under your seat, and everything sounds nice and clear.

I tested an excellent product, www.hello-biker.com, last November during the EICMA show in Milan. It's a Bluetooth intercom with handsfree function for my cell phone. I have then tried to buy it but it seems as if the production is late. One of the great things is that it should work on almost any helmet. At the exhibition the audio quality was great but of course one has to try it on the bike as well. Does anybody have any more experiences of HelloBiker?

And another option: Autocom!!! http://www.autocomamerica.com

Have ther Pro-7 Sport system and it survived riding in TORRENTIAL rain from Baltimore, MD to Athens, GA with my dd on pillion... we had continuous communication with no hiccups. And we both listened to the XM Radio to while away the highway miles.

Bike powered. Microphone/speaker in the helmet just a pigtail connector on the back. No problems at all.

+1 for the Autocom Stuff. It's great and the new 2006 product line available now is even better.
