Chatterbox Pro Intercom
Bought a Chatterbox with a full face headset.
Very disappointing product. No way this product would last a weekend. Mounting basically stinks. Headset and Mic will never stick to the helmet. Control box mount requires that you tear up you helmet liner to have any chance of the mount working even then it is very fragile.

Mine works great! No problems at all and the mike sticks just fine and control box fit my helmet, No Problem. I have been using the setup for three years. I had a control box and one of the student mikes go bad and they replace all at no charge after 3 yrs. Great company. I can take pictures of the setup if that would help. JD

After breaking the cheap plastic clamping piece, I simply drilled two small holes in the helmet and screwed the plate to the helmet. Much more stable and secure. Just don't use too long of a screw..

None of these things damaged the helmet and everything has been in place for 3 years.
The student headset has a weak point where the wires go into the speaker so make sure you take some tie wrap or tape and bend the wire around so it is fastened to the mic boom. That way the student will pull on the boom and not the wires.

Here are the pictures of the install on a Impact full face. I mounted the ear pieces up behind the foam right where my ear is located inside the helmet.
