Great buy awesome product
Have not yet dove into the functions fully but so far loving the features i have been using. I have my G9 installed on my Bell RS-1 Stellar Helmet. Thankfully there is an option of using the sticky mount because there is not space to use the screw on clip. Install was a snap and clean. Software loaded up with no problem update was easy. Radio presets easy to set. Bluetooth link to my phone also a breeze. I have a old par of icon super duty gloves and i find it hard sometimes to find buttons on unit while i am on my bike but with less bulky gloves i think i should have no problems. The sound is great and i like the sound adjustment it makes while riding.
Overall a great buy worth the money. i will add some pics of the G9 installed on my helmet.

Big Step-up from the Q2
I have been using the Q2 for a couple of seasons (also purchased here at RevZilla). The G9 is a big upgrade. Connecting with other units seems simpler and more reliable. The G9 sound quality seems better and I like the option of 2 different microphones. I am still trying to work out which button does what, since there are quite a few buttons on this unit, but once I get that down, I think this will work quite well.

Very clear....
I've been using the headset for about a week and a half, Mostly for music and phone calls. Very simple operation and clear sound.

Product works as expected
I cant compare between other similar products but it works effectively and contains speakers that are decent for a Bluetooth headset.
April 22, 2013
would definitely recommend
Great sound just wish it was more sturdy the buttons get stuck at times and there is no warranty for this item.

GREAT PRODUCT!
Great product! Clarity is good. Have no problem hearing my wife or music. Do wish you could plug in custom headphones like the Q3's. That would make this a perfect product.

This is the best system out there!
After trying a few others, this is by far the best system on the market. The sound quality is freaking outrageous. At 85mph with a Shoei x11 helmet and earplugs it is crystal clear. The radio function is a great bonus. I have it paired to a Samsung Galaxy S II and all of my voice commands work perfect through this. I can make calls, answer calls, talk to text, use navigation, listen to music stored on my phone, and more all with one push of the voice command button and speaking commands for everything else. The only thing I have not had a chance to try is the rider to rider communication, as I don't have anyone that I ride with at this time that has one.

Best in class
This is my third helmet com system in 3 years and it is by far the best in terms of features, sound quality, and ease of use. I particularly like the voice commands. The social aspects of the Cardo website are interesting...I clearly need more friends that ride.

Will the Scala Rider G9 work with a Kali NAZA Carbon helmet?

The Cardo Scala Rider G9 should attach without issue to the Kali Naza Helmet. This also goes for other bluetooth systems using a clamp mount, and sticky mounting as well (such as the Sena SMH10R).1 month, 1 week ago

Cardo Scala G9 vs. Sena MH10 - which is louder?
by
State: AZ
Additional information about trampgeo could not be loaded.
I'm considering purchasing the Cardo Scala G9 or the Sena MH10. I want to be able to hear through foam earplugs. I listened to the Cardo G2 and it wasn't loud enough through earplugs. Has anyone listened to both the G9 and the MH-10 and can tell me which one is louder, taking into account the automatic gain control of the G9? Has anyone listened to these units with good earplugs and can comment if they are loud enough?

Answers
Answer:
The sound quality between the Cardo G9 and Sena SMH-10 is quite comparable, though the Sena might be a bit clearer. However, the Cardo G9 definitely has the upper hand on amplification - a great improvement over the Q2 or G4. The only disappointment in volume for me was the intercom feature, however, integration with your phone, or music is quite good and should be plenty loud enough even with earplugs.3 months, 4 weeks ago
Answer:
I wear the 33dbl blocking earplugs and the G9 goes way louder than I am comfortable with. I can hear it crystal clear even above 85mph. Tried the G2 years ago, same issue as you. U-Clear has good sound, better G2, but no where near the sound the G9 puts out. You will not be disappointed.Age: 35-44

Answer:
The software needs to be updated to enable the One+8. It is super easy and you will be glad you did it, as the program that opens allows you to preset all your radio stations, program a one touch quick dial number, and add fellow G9 riders to your quick links (if you ride with any)Age: 35-44

Yes, two units are required for rider to passenger communication. The G9 is available as a Powerset Dual Pack.7 months ago
Answer:
Yes you do need 2 units to communicate to your passenger. They offer the 2 pack bundle on revzilla if you like that unit. The 2 biggest things I would recommend you thinking about is do u want a boom or not?(a boom is the mic that wraps around from the unit and sits in front of your mouth) And how much do u want to spend. The 2 best companies are Uclear and Scala. The biggest difference is the boom. Uclears mic is built into the speakers and scalas is not.Depending on what kind of helmet you own and your personal peference. I would suggest looking at both before u make the decision.Age: 25-34
