Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had this for the past season and it's made group rides much easier on everybody by allowing us to joke around and communicate everything from the important (speed trap ahead!, watch the pothole) to the mundane (the car next to us has McDonald's. I want McDonald's now).
It's also made solo rides much more enjoyable as well. I can pair it with my smartphone and listen to Pandora streaming while I ride. If I'm going somewhere new the phone's navigation cuts into the music to tell me when to turn and if someone calls me while I'm riding I can answer it and talk (well, shout due to aftermarket exhaust).
A few problems though:
- Biggest headache is trying to pair it with a new unit for a 3-way link. It's really hit or miss and often we have to end up turning them all off and back on a few times until they magically just work.
- Firmware updates made them much better but note that you have to have a Windows machine to load them. I had to use an XP virtual machine through Parallels on my MacBook Pro which was a bit of a challenge and added a few extra steps to the process. Next time I'll just do them at work on my PC.
- There's no way to plug other earphones into them. I wear earplugs which can sometimes make it hard to hear (mostly in phone conversations). It would be nice if I could plug some custom in-ear headphones into the Scala but there's no way to do this.
- Due to a limitation on my (Android) phone, I can't use the voice-dial feature. I also haven't been able to answer incoming calls just by talking - I have to hit the button.
- FM radio reception is very very poor but with Pandora I don't really use FM often.
