[QUOTE="Further, post: 1130753, member: 14352"] I've been a Chatterbox XBi user for years, not because it's so wonderful, but because for years it was the ONLY unit that would pick up my MP3 music and stream it to my pillion. But after MUCH research and seeing the units demo'd at the MC Show, I'm going to the Cardio Q1 or Q3 which the guy above has a link for to a really thorough WebBike review. I know the Sena's are really great, but the Cardio Q series are now the ONLY ones that do what I explained above AND they allow you to swap out from helmet speakers to earbuds. To do that speaker swap I cut the cord many years ago on my Chatterbox unit and soldered in a jack that allows me to switch. This is a great feature, because I don't want to be limited to either one or the other. I only really need the earbuds when I'm listening to music. If I'm not going to do that, I'd prefer to just us the helmet speakers. It's more comfortable and you don't have to do the very inconvenient and sometimes painful "helmet stretch" to get the lid off without yanking your earbuds out. For all the reasons above, think the Cardio Q's are the best option out right now, and all their reviews are great. Can't speak to the bike-to-bike question. Of course if the other bike has a Cardio, it's a no brainer, but if you're talkin' about bike-to-bike via one of those walkie-talkie kinda things, I don't know about that. I'm about to start pressuring my most frequent riding buddy to do the Cardio thing too, so we'll have bike-to-bike. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
