I have the Firefox Route 66. It works reasonably well and I like the idea that it doesn't require any helmet mods. You can plug GPS or iPod or any other device into it as well.

The throat mic doesn't pick up wind or engine noise. But, it does sound scratchy if it is shifting on your throat, e.g., if you're turning your head. Positioning the throat mic is important to get good quality. Women's voices don't pick up as well as men's unless they tend to have more of a low, "throaty" tone to their voice.

I don't have experience with other systems, so I can't compare.

All in all, my wife and I like it. Maybe a 7 out of 10.
