I have been using the Q2 for a couple of seasons (also purchased here at RevZilla). The G9 is a big upgrade. Connecting with other units seems simpler and more reliable. The G9 sound quality seems better and I like the option of 2 different microphones. I am still trying to work out which button does what, since there are quite a few buttons on this unit, but once I get that down, I think this will work quite well.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I purchased this Scala headseat from Revzilla on Wednesday afternoon and had it by Thursday evening (with 1-day shipping) so I could use it for the weekend (Thanks so much!)
I synced this up with my boyfriend's Schuberth Scala system and it worked very well between our 2 bikes. Voice-activation wasn't instantaneous, but it worked. We used it to communicate upcoming turns, stops, etc. and for some idle chit-chat. Because the voice-activation takes a minute, or doesn't always activate, this headset would not work well to communicate immediate road hazards (such as deer) unless you already had an open intercom session going with your riding partner.
A fully charged battery lasted for just about 2 days of riding and intermittent conversation. The range is not spectacular, but it's bluetooth, so that's to be expected. Out of sight more or less means out of range.
One annoyance is that you cannot adjust audio priority; the GPS always comes first. In theory, this is fine, but it also means that the times you most want to talk to your riding partner, such as "we're turning right up here" the GPS jumps in and cuts off the conversation. I opted to mute my GPS audio because I didn't need the turn-by-turn prompts.
Overall, I'm happy with the headset. It does what it's supposed to do right out of the box.
Yes, I recommend this product.

is the G9 designed only for use with a helmet? If so, is there a comparible system that can be used without a helmet?

Yes, this is a unit designed to be used with a helmet. I believe Scala/Cardo makes a unit designed to be worn bicycling. You may want to try that unit.

Is G9 Compatible with Schuberth C3 ???

My Helmet is Schuberth C3. I had the SRC Cardo System for my Helmet but I had problems with it. I want to change to Cardo G9, but I need to know if It is compatible with Schuberth C3.
Thanks.
It should be, however you'll want to make sure you can slide the plastic bracket between the exterior hardshell of the helmet and the inner liner.
