![]() ![]() If anyone is interested, Chatterbox sells a headphone adapter if you don't want to use the speakers. Even then I haven't gotten it quite right yet but I'm too lazy to tinker with it anymore. I had to do a bit of surgery to my my EXO 700 to make it fit. ![]() Still a PITA to fit in many helmets though. That's pretty big but it's about average size. The speakers with this unit are about 4.5cm in diameter and about 1 cm thick. It's also a bit looser than the leather jacket. I guess the JR has more shoulder padding. Oddly enough, it only gets caught on my Joe Rocket Phoenix jacket and not my A* leather jacket. The mount sticks out a good 2cm (3/4") from the bottom of the helmet so it gets caught on my jacket when I check left or look up sometimes. But, once they're on, hopefully you don't have to move it. Kind of annoying how the screws screw in from the INSIDE. The mount was easy enough to get onto my helmet but tightening the screws took a bit of work since the short ones didn't reach too well and the cheek pad was getting my way. There isn't any significant flex when mounting the unit but seeing as the unit is just so dang heavy I can understand why this little plastic clip would break. If I hadn't heard so many stories about them breaking I probably wouldn't worry about it too much. Buttons are easily accessed and pushed while riding.Īs many have stated before, the mounting clip is kinda pathetic. Even with gloves on I can tell whether or not I've pushed a button. The buttons all have a good feel to them and even have a slightly click feeling when pushed all the way. The units itself feels sturdy but also heavy. Yeah, I broke one in the first 5 minutes of touching it. See those 2 little clips in the middle of the picture? Those are to hold the wires out of the way. So, on to the detailed review!įor a $300 unit a lot of the bits on this thing look and feel surprisingly cheap. I bought this unit new/unopened from a guy so I got it for $250 which is $100 off the normal retail price. Audio volume is good but the speakers are big and difficult to fit in my EXO-700. The Chatterbox does, although it's got it's own quirks. My largest complaint about the Scala was that it didn't have A2DP bluetooth profile so it wouldn't pair with my Samsung S5. HJC IS-Max BT helmet can be purchased with the Xbi2-H installed here.So, it's about time that I write up a review for this thing even though I haven't run through all the features yet. 6-8 hour talk time, 1-hour express charge.Rechargeable / replaceable lithium polymer battery.Bluetooth A2DP compatible with most mobile phones, MP3 players, GPS, and radar detectors.Communications between three riders up to 500 meters (1,640 feet).Backwards compatible with current Chatterbox XBi2 model.Designed specifically for the new HJC IS-Max BT helmets.TheXBi2-H will allow you to stream audio signal from any source that already comes equipped with Bluetooth such as mobile telephones, MP3, GPS and even an iPod / iPhone when hooked up to a Bluetooth adapter, eliminating the need for cable connections It allows simultaneous communications between three riders with up to 500 meters (1,640 feet) in optimum conditions The XBi2-H is the latest bike-to-bike wireless intercom that is equipped with A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) for wireless streaming of stereo music via Bluetooth technology. This is the kit to use if you already own the helmet and are looking to communicate with another helmet equipped with this kit or the Xbi2. It adds all the functionality of the Xbi2 to a sleek integrated helmet design. If you have the HJC Is-Max helmet, then this is the must have accessory. ![]()
