Scala Rider Q2 Multiset Review

This is what you're looking for! 'Nuff said; but, I'll say more. I've been looking for the perfect set for a couple of years now and I think that state of the art hadn't caught up with what I knew we could do, until now. Want one? Wait no more, look no further, this is it! You need nothing more. I'm a big big guy, and I 'always' have trouble with fit, these already come with the microphone boom which is long enough. Installation was no problem at all. They go quickly onto the helmets, tight. The only modifications I made were to hide the earphone wiring. I cut small slits near the unit to slip the wiring into the padding, out of sight, and that's it. The ear speaker sound is supurb, so much volume, so much quality for such little speakers. No noise, blocks wind like you want and hope for. Excellent quality between driver and passenger for voice and music. We don't have two bikes, and ride two up but we got such a kick out of them the fist night we wore them into the house. She went before me, and I finished up at the bike. No loss of quality, no loss of signal. I think it would have no problem with two riders within a quarter mile or more.
My only complaint, is that the FM radio is hard to tune. With only four buttons on the whole thing, tuning is a pain. You have to press and hold the top button (for up) or the bottom button (for down) for three seconds to engage the auto tune, and they are HARD to press. The auto tune is not the greatest, and does not always find the station the first swing past. Not a problem, except for the sore fingers. Example: Go up and find station, move up and decide you like the last station better. Go down to previous station and it may or may not find it. I needed to tune to a specific frequency to use the built in FM transmitter in my GPS and had a very difficult time locating the signal; the signal strengh was stronger than some stations it found. In other words: it does not discriminate well in the scan mode while trying to find FM stations. I'd rather have had it do a slow to medium tune, up or down, than auto scan. But, don't let that stop you; I DID find my GPS stations, for both rider and passengers, I found most stations (eventually I'll have them all). Other than that, everything is exactly what I was hoping for. Married the Bluetooth to phone, no problem. Unit was already married to 2nd set in the box for the passenger. In my excitement I skipped the first page showing where all the buttons were, and what they were called. My fault, but easy to do. Don't do that. The extra headsets you see that you can buy separate are scala are compatible and identical to the ones that come with the two in this box. I ordered thinking my microphone boom may have been small, and it was not and works great. The booms in the box are the longer large ones. I highly recommend the whole thing.

CARDO SYSTEMS/SCALA RIDER G4 POWERSET W/ MP3 SRPS0002 Review

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.
