Scala-rider Q2 lets you talk to other Q2 riders, over.

In the past, if you used a Scala motorcycle headset, it was to dial someone with your phone via Bluetooth. Now, if you and your riding buddies have the updated Scala-rider Q2, you can still tell your dirty biker jokes over the air, but now with full duplex voice-activated / push to talk voice chat with up to three clients and a 500 meter range. Tack on an FM receiver (and Bluetooth 2.0, of course) and you've got yourself a $220 communications tool sure to relieve the crushing loneliness of wide open road -- that is, until a couple of rednecks take you down somewhere outside of New Orleans in a psyched out haze.

Just got two scala-rider Q2 headsets and I just love it. I can't beleive I didn't even know these kind of products exist, and I feel it really makes my riding experience so much richer. Kind of reminds me when I replaced my old typewriter with my first PC.

It has "dual speakers", is it "stereo". Does it
support the new bluetooth stereo music profile?
Their last models didn't.

I just picked up a pair of Q2's from RevZilla at http://www.revzilla.com/product/scala-rider-q2-headset for $40 off retail ($179)

Got them yesterday and had them for one ride so far. These things are badass. Communication is crystal clear with a great range.

'lets to talk to'

Proofread much? I mean the titles at least...

Think he meant "Over" as in "Over and out". Moderatley amusing... Perhaps.

Over!!

That's not a bad price at all for this functionality. Thanks for posting this.

I ride, but I typically ride with more than just 2 people. Do they assuume I only have 2 friends? Otherwise price and functionality look good.
