Cardo Scala Rider G9X Solo Motorcycle Bluetooth Headset

One broke let's hope this one keeps working

A Christmas present so not received by person it's for, looks OK when.checjed it.

I bought the Scala on the basis that it would have a better range than my current headset, and because I was going for a week's touring Scotland with a friend who has a Scala and I wanted the compatibility.Right from the start it failed to deliver. I tried the various facilities at home to get used to them. I tried the voice activation, and spoke various commands clearly and loudly, but to no avail, so I started shouting and then bellowing. Eventually I managed to turn the radio on, but then failed at several attempts to tune it. I then shouted "RADIO OFF", increasing the volume each time until it responded by saying "music on". I tried the voice facilities for music. "Next track" seemed like a command I would want to use, but instead it telephoned my local taxi firm, Trafftax. On other commands it called my sister, and then a couple of friends, but not once did it execute the command I had actually used. So, off went voice activation.On the road, this piece of junk fared just as badly. My friend could barely hear me even though I could hear him clearly. I felt like an idiot sitting in traffic, apparently shouting at nobody at all. The range was just a couple of hundred metres with any level of clarity, but all my friend heard most of the time was noise. Each time I got a satnav command through the earphones the intercom switched off, sometimes for several minutes, so I switched off the satnav sound. That is, if the intercom worked at all. Much of the time it didn't work. We would switch our devices on and I could hear him but it could take between several minutes and not at all for him to hear me.Much of the time I just heard a lot of crackling, which would grow and then sometimes fade away over perhaps half an hour. When this happened any conversation i received was very badly distorted.On the last day, I switched the device on, and as usual it said "intercom A connecting", but as usual nothing happened immediately. I then spent nearly an hour of the journey home switching the Scala off and on, and trying to switch the intercom off and on, before giving it up as a bad job and leaving it off for the rest of the journey. I haven't switched it on since, and now it's going back.This device is utter rubbish. It is far and away the most useless piece of technology I have ever bought. It does absolutely nothing well or in a straightforward way. In order to use just a fraction of what it is billed as being capable of, I had to switch off several basic functions. In the end, nothing at all worked.Foolishly, I have ordered a replacement because I can't believe that it would have a good reputation if all units fared as badly as mine. I will see whether that changes my mind. If not, it's going back for a refund and I shall go back to my cheap £30 device, which even though the range isn't great plays music, handles telephone calls, and works as an intercom.PS. Nearly a year later I realised that I forgot to add what happened to the replacement. It was just as bad so that went back too. I have given up.

Sound quality good Vox very very poor Radio on does not remotely sound like Anna? Very infuriating & distracting.

Used only twice, but I'm already over the moon with it!As soon as I saw its case/packaging I knew I had bought a quality product.Great sound, easy to install and endless hours of fun on my bike.Let's hope it lasts

Super product . Just dont pair with your mates . Enjoy the peace . Would recomend to anyone works fine with i phone and also works fine with garmin sat nav . But dont have your mate chewing in your ear .fits perfect in helmet . Comes with lots of fitting aids . Had it fitted to 2 helmets now . No problem

Very pleased....easy to install and and nice and loud and very intuitive in regards Learning the functions 👍

Worked fine until recently. Now I charge it fully, connect to my phone and it dies within minutes. Re connect to charger and it takes 24 hours before charged again. I also know another rider who has similar problems. Will be contacting Cardo direct to negotiate a replacement.

Je pense que la réputation du scala n'est plus à faire.Pour ma part entièrement satisfait, produit à recommander pour les motards recherchant à communiquer sur la route

Tengo el Q3 también y se oye mucho mejor que este. Me ha defraudado, y lo que no me esperaba es que el enchufe a la pared no fuera para un enchufe en España (tiene 3 patillas para UK).
