So what is the better communicator to get, the NADY or Chatterbox?

Also, there was a thread about adapting custom in-ear headphones for racing radios to also work with the Chatterbox/NADY communicators. What was the outcome? I would prefer to set my helmet up to work with one headset/mic combo and be able to plug it into either the communicator or a racing radio.

 

I've used both and ended up buying the Chatterbox. I installed it to my helmet and have the seperate mono speaker/boom mic student set up. 2 years and working great.

 

Chatter box. Call Ron at Discovery Parts (770) 716-5986 and he will set you up.

 

Don't even waste your time with a NADY, POS in my opinion. Go with the Chatterbox.

And yes, I've used both.

 

Used the Chatterbox for years. Great product.

 

^ + 1 Chatterbox.
Better quality than the NADY IMHO.

 

I keep a Nady in my glove box incase my passenger doesn't have a communicator. It works great and I've had no problems with it over the past couple of years. As long as you tell the person using the headset to be gentle and not pull hard on the cord, it should be good for a long time. I've used instructors chatterbox headsets with intermittent contact, so neither is indestructible. Just my $.02 I'm sure the chatterbox is better quality, but doesn't it cost more too?

 

Most people I know that used to use NADY threw it away and bought a Chatterbox. Quality of the NADY is sketchy at best. Life's too short to buy junk.

 

Chatterbox. Nady blows chunks.

I bet instructors will vote chatterbox.

 

Okay, Chatterbox it is. Now, has anybody set one up so it will work with custom molded ear phones?
