Cardo Scala Q2

I just got this item, it seems to be pretty nice.

Attaches to helmet very nicely. Very low profile on the side of the helmet, I have not had a chance to really use it yet. But tomorrow I am off on a 500 mile trip from Idaho Falls, Idaho to Billings, Montana via Yellowstone National Park and back over the weekend. The FM part works really well with the Sirius Starmate 4 on the bike. The phone part works well at lower speeds, above 70 mph or so it gets hard for the other party to hear you clearly.

I will post pics and a better report when I get back Sunday night.

Awesome Tiger

I have the earlier scala rider (mono - single speaker) that came with my TomTom gps, have been very happy with that so thought i too would upgrade to the Q2, just have to wait a week to get it !

Hopefully the Q2 should be a great improvement now its in stereo, my phone plays mp3's so i will soon be able to listen to music, hear gps, talk on phone and my passenger or co rider

I cannot get it to connect to the phone to play MP3's (Samsung Hue) It works well with the phone part up to around 50mph, after that the other end cannot hear you clearly.

The FM part works OK, not great, there is no way to tell what station you are tuned to until they tell you. I used it with the Sirius Sat radio that broadcasts on an FM Channel and after a lot of trial and error I finally got it tuned.

The speakers work well, I did have to add a bit of foam behind them to get them closer to my ears in my full face, they also worked well in the pudding bowl with the ear flaps on it.

All in all, it is a fair product. Works good, sound quality is not as good as the ipod, but ease of use in phone is good.

Now all I need to do is find someone with another one and see if it works bike to bike.
