Waiting on X-Wave

Hello all,

I’ve been waiting several months to buy the X-wave, reluctant to pre-purchase because back in late August the website said they will be ready to ship by Oct. 1. Come October, it said Nov. 1. I emailed Foxpro in October asking if they actually knew when the caller would be out, because the date changed, and they essentially said no. They have no definite dates. Now it says nothing about an ETA. I want the X-wave but also, I don’t want this entire winter to come and go before I get an e-caller. Do you think it’s worth waiting for the X-wave, not knowing when it will actually be out? What would be the closest comparable caller to the Xwave by FoxPro?

Thanks guys.

I am curious if anyone (doubtfully) has any first hand experience. From what I can tell, the X-wave seems to look like a Shockwave on steroids, and then you have bluetooth connectivity. I am not sure if that is worth $200 more.

Besides, in my opinion, it is never a good idea to jump onto a brand new technology/product. Better to let a year go by before you invest in such a pricey unit. So far my Shockwave has worked great and it seems easier to carry in my pack that the X-wave. Again, just my opinions.
 
Al Morris said they had some issues with the remote but had it figured out and would be released soon, whatever that means but he seemed to emphasize just a matter of days, I think that was last week
 
I was told by someone at foxpro their having issues with the plastic housings. The vendor who's producing them can't get it right. I want one only if in fact they turn out to have more volume than my shock wave. I'll wait until later on next year when they work all the glitches out. Grizz

The X-Wave has way more volume!

Thanks everyone, I decided to buy the shockwave because it seems significantly lighter than the x-wave and I tend to do a lot of hiking. Also, I still see no updates online regarding the x-wave. I appreciate all your responses.

Bob - judging by the oaks it looks like you are near my neck of the woods. I’m glad you were able to get some cats before the ban.

Mike Dillon commented on FB today that they are supposed to be receiving the plastic in the next day or two. Once they do they will build and ship on a daily basis.

I’m very happy with my Shockwave! Not sure if an upgrade is necessary at this time.
