I have used the Q2 for 3 years and was very satisfied. One of the pair broke, so I decided to upgrade to the G9, primarily for the Stereo capability. I did not rate durability, but my Q2 lasted 2-3 years. Apparently there is no repair on the Q2. I would like an exchange program, but as far as I can tell once the warranty has expired, it is a throw-away
I especially like:
1. Sound quality
2. Quick Pairing (Much easier to pair than the Q2)
3. Voice activation
4. MP3 Stereo
5. Choice of microphones
6. Noise cancelling is outstanding.
7. Voice calling works much better than the Q2
8. Better button layout than Q2
9 Installation on the helmet was straightforward.
Did not like:
1. 1 microphone failed, but I was using the boom on one helmet and the wired on the other so I had a spare.
2. Installation manual a bit complex, but so is the G9
3. While listening to my mp3 the first time I coughed and it switched to the radio. I hope there is a fix for this.
The Q2 gave outstanding battery life and the G9 advertises even better. The antenna should improve the distance, though I have not tried it, yet with another motorcycle. I was happy with the Q2 so I think I will be happy the touted improvements of the G9.
Yes, I recommend this product.

What is the differance between a Cardo Scala G9 Power set and a Cardo Scala G9

The Power Set contains 2 complete Scala Rider G9s. It slightly discounts the price of buying 2 separate units.

The Scala G9 is for single rider to use with all the features alone. That includes FM radio, MP3, Phone and other blue tooth connectivity.

The Scala G9 can also pair with the Q2 or G4.

Which Scala audio are you referring to when upgrading the Scala G4?

I want to make sure that I don't choose the product that is identical to the audio quality I have now. I want the improved audio as mention in the most recent Scala G9 video for those who don't want the new set, but just want an audio upgrade.
Your can purchase the G9 Audio & Microphone Kit. It is currently~$60.00 and use the G4. This will upgrade the mic to either boom or wired, and better speakers.

misc 2

with a bluetooth mp3 player and the g9 system will both headsets pick up the mp3 player if riding two different bikes together. will someone else in the group of riders with a g4 or g9 hear my mp3 and vise versa
There is nothing I can find that allows G9 conferencing of the MP3 on blue tooth. You can conference phone calls to the rider, passenger, and the outside caller.

How does the noise canceling tech on the G9 compare to the sena smh10 or the the interphone f5

I can only tell you that it is the best I have ever used. Not one person I have talked to on the phone knew I was on a motorcycle. Not even when there was high wind noise or I was standing still and I could clearly hear the cam noise and exhaust from my motorcycle. How can you beat that?
