Scala rider G4 headset lets bikers be heard - Page 2

I've been running with an older Motorola headset in my helmet that works fairly well:

Only thing is, it can't switch between intercom mode and phone/gps mode without flipping a tiny switch on the internal unit (the unit itself sits in a waterproof casing that mounts to the helmet). I also soldered a headphone jack on so I was able to plug my sound isolating ear buds into it (the speaker that came with it was absolutely horible). As well as it works though, I have been looking around for a better replacement unit that can switch from application to application so I'm definitely interested in hearing about real-world reviews!

Looks like I may have to sell my Q2s.

Personally I love these things. They made teaching my GF to ride a lot easier than it would have been otherwise. Being able to talk her through situations and give her advice on the fly was awesome.

i just got the blue tooth one in for a customer here. looks really interesting and pretty cheap for a communications system (this is only for cell phone and mp3 capability)...$90.00 incase you guys were interested.

My biggest problem with them was the fact that you can only connect to one item besides the other headset. Oh and O really don't like something on the side of my lid...
