Scala Q2 has simple packaging two systems in one box, all present and accounted for. The Design is excellent, bordering on Outstanding The beefier bracket assembly is an excellent example and while appearing obtrusive, it is not. The ability to remove, program and reinstall the module in seconds is one of my favourite features.. Everything is well made, the feature is very great when compared to other systems on market. Overall its work as shown in ads and work better then before. Easy to use, simple, well-designed and sturdy. It all mounts up well and fits together without issues. The housing is larger and projects down below the helmet line, but didn’t become an impediment when wearing heavy, high neck clothing.
Setup proccess, pairing and re-pairing was easy, aided by a well-written manual and simple controls. Much improved over my last experience with configuring the Cardo Q2 systems. The performance was great. The voice link still drops out unexpectedly from time to time, even in the middle of a conversation, probably due to a VOX issue, but recovery of the link is extremely quick.
Excellent communication and overal link reliability keep Scala Rider Q2 high on my list. Battery life is no slouch either. Volume control is very good and when within optimal link range, it takes very high speeds and a very noisy environment to degrade audio within the helmet. Continued use has not identified any major weaknesses, other than the FM radio, and the intermittent and probably VOX related issue when using the intercom. Nothing else has failed. Battery power is longer then we need.
Cardo has limited to charging the batteries. A low battery audio alarm will give you warning in the headset and all status is provided by the LEDs as well. No issues requiring support have arisen to this point in time. Cardo also has a pretty extensive listing of replacement items and accessories for the Scala Rider models, most of which are compatible with more than one model.
Pricing can vary widely depending on locale and seller, but Cardo Scala Rider Q2 units are competitively priced and best value the money for what is received. My experiences with Scala Rider Q2 systems has been very good overall, but not without some niggling points, many of which seem to have been addressed. The most specific issue, that being the lack of A2DP support (pretty much a standard now) brings my valuation of the MultiSet Q2 down from what could be an easy Excellent.
I had pricedscala q2 and similar products in store and online. The price was good enough and it came as promised. Brand new in sealed package and it arrived rapidly. The product itself has been outstanding. Extremely compact, lightweight, clear sound quality (although I have a problem getting upper FM bands in my area), and so far customer service has been fast and friendly.
