Sounds interesting. If you notice, it doesn't use FRS/GRMS..it uses 900mhz....same as your remote phones.

They claim, as well as the riders that tested it (and the others) that you can talk while riding.

Did you read the review?? This system beat out the Firefox (according to them).


The thing is...these systems are not cheap. It's not like it's 40 bucks to try it out.

I am still a little skeptical about the voice activated part of them. I am just not sure how it will eliminate the noise ofhte Quad or breating or wind. . .

Just ordered one....Eddie Bauer and I will be able to let you know soon.


Hey Rob,


Terry was going to join in, as soon as he lets us be guinea pigs...If you guys decided to use them for snowmobiling and we can get at least 6 total...they'll give us our "club" frequency. The noise canceling mics were designed for snowmobiles....so ATV's should be a snap.

I talked to her on the phone today....they called back..I ALMOST got 2 sets for free...she called the Marketing manager..but he said they had enough feedback for now. :(

I asked her....Am I going to be happy?? She said she uses them for snowmobiling, and they work great.

Like I said...we get 6...and we get our own frequency!


Oh...and it's not on the site....but they have them in BLACK...so put in the comments when you order...that you want BLACK, not silver (unless you want Silver).
