I'm sorry, i didn't know what else to call it. I'm looking for those things that let you talk to your pillion. Something that works well with full face helmets. I've heard that you can plug in other accessories like music players and they will automatically cut out if you start talking and start up again when you are through? What works well and what would you suggest i lean towards or stay away from?
Thanks!

A car - But that's just me. One of the primary reasons I ride is the solitude. Most all the cycle rags have done product reviews. Try a search within their web sites.

Agree - I've heard more than a few mention the Chatterbox.

It seems like every time someone buys a cheap set, it doesn't work. I have heard some good comments on the Chatterbox, but it's not inexpensive.

After some further research I keep hearing that chatterbox is actually on the lower end. I'm leaning towards Autocom right now. But i guess this isn't too popular around here, eh? I mainly want it for the communitcation between rider and pillion so I can get one of the more basic or middle grade kits, rather than the one with all the bells and whistles and a bazillion hook-ups.

I have an autocom hard wired under the seat of my BA. You can plug in an mp3 player, pillion or radio for bike to bike. I don't use it much though as pipedr said, I want the relative "quiet".
I used to plug in the mp3 player but found it quite distracting, not concentrating on the road as much as I should.
Though the autocom is good, I don't think I would buy a system again.
