I love my g9. My 5 year old seems have a very hard time understanding me though, I'm pretty sure we will figure it out maybe it's his speaker placement. He rides almost everyday but only for about 5 miles so it hasnt been a huge priority yet. I use mine about an hour each way everyday, rain or shine. Love the music from my IPhone, volume is enough to make your ears ring if you turn it up. It's a little tinny but might be able to correct with equalizer settings haven't tried yet. At first it cut out a lot and I couldnt figure out why. Shut down and restarted iPhone, same with g9, resynced them and still same problem. Turned off vox and set sensitivity to high same problem. Took mike out of helmet problem solved, I guess I sing to loud, lol.
I havent played with it a lot so I don't really know how everything functions. But here's what I have done, went on line and set up radio stations, seems to work well but I never listen to the radio, voice calls seem to work well but voice dialing seems to be a problem. I did set up a speed dial for my wife, the only one I should ever NEED to call from my bike anyway, press a and b and it calls her right away.
All in all, I haven't gone on any trips or interacted with other bikers yet, but for my needs it's working great. I intend to use it on the four wheelers also so I will need to figure out why my son has so much trouble understanding me but I think it's going to come down to speaker placement which seems to be pretty easy, they just Velcro on and it's easy to move them a little in any direction. It is a little tuff in my full face helmet to reach in to try to figure out which way to go but I hit one n the first shot and the other on the second. I haven't tried to figure out my sons yet, not sure if my hand will fit in his with his face in there, guess I will put it on my to do list for this weekend and see.
One last thing, I opted for the g9 over the g4 because of the wired mikes and the small difference in cost once the mikes were added to the g4. I haven't used either of them there is plenty of room in my helmet for the boom. Basically if you can fit your finger between your lips and your helmet and there is room for the even smaller boom to fit in somewhere, it should work just fine.
Ps. Ease of use got a 3 due to the instructions. It seems as though everything will be very easy to use once I figure it out and get used to it. Part of it is that it does a lot so figure out one thing at a time, but still better instructions would be extremely helpful.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Much improved over the G4. A lot of seemingly small features, like VOX that works, easy paring, larger buttons, better mic, which is smaller, and comes with a wired mic in the kit, the speakers are the biggest improvement , really a nice system. HAG

Read the instructions. Even if you know everything about bluetooth you need to closely follow the directions. The sound and volume is very good when standing still or going down the highway at 70 MPH. Have not had the opportunity to test with additional riders. Have G9 paired with my ZUMO 550 and also using with my iPhone 4 via the ZUMO. Works perfectly. The buttons can be a little hard to use with gloves, but with practice I am sure that will improve. Have not been able to do a day long battery test, but the battery life has been acceptable.
Yes, I recommend this product.

How do the microphones physically attach to the Bluetooth module? Is it some proprietary connection or something more standardized? I'm trying to determine if I can replace the included boom/wired mics with a throat mic, such as those made by Iasus. Because the G9 is so new I havent heard of anyone attempting this or even how the G9 mics attach. Looking at the Revzila G9 video it looked li,e the mics may attach with a headphone-style jack but it was kind of hard to tell.

No, you will not be able to replace the speakers or the microphone on the Cardo Scala Rider G9 with generic products as Cardo uses their own proprietary type of connection.

Answer: 
Yes, you will be able to pair the Cardo Scala Rider Q2 Pro with the Cardo Scala Rider G9, but you will not be able to pair up to 9 riders. Also if you are using the Q2, it will only work up to its range which is about half the distance the G9 is capable of.
