So before I bought the NCX I was seriously considering the CTX and actually took one for a test ride while I continued my research into a replacement for my PCX (ended up with the NCX as I much preferred the seating position and the frunk was just icing!!). As such I also joined the CTX forum and still check that site quite frequently. Not too long ago someone posted about a $47 intercom/headset. That got me interested as my 16 yr old daughter had started riding my PCX and I wanted to be able to communicate with her during our rides. The $100-250 units were a little pricey, especially as you actually need to double that as we'd each need one. So we decided that for the $ we'd take a chance on these budget alternatives.
I've updated the OP's post with our experience thus far, which has been positive. If you're in the market for a unit and don't need the bells/whistles etc. then I'd seriously recommend these units. I ordered ours from the site linked in the original article (but picked a product listing that showed 2 units as it was slightly cheaper than 2 x single units). However you can also find the exact units on Amazon which probably gives you better customer service recourse should you need it. I've since also purchased additional charging cables for our units form Amazon so that I can leave a cable on the bike as well as in my work bag etc.
Bottom line, good cheap alternative.
