Helmet communications
I have been wanting to get a helmet communication/bluetooth system, but after reading one after another review on the internet I still don't know whether or not to get a Nolan N-com Bluetooth-2 system or a Scala Rider g4 system. I want to be able to talk to a rider on another bike and also be able to use my iphone in stereo mode. I have fairly loud pipes and am concerned that I won't be able to hear. The Nolan system is more expensive, but is more streamline...is it worth the extra money? Who has used either of these and can give me some advise?

I have the Scala G4 PowerSet and I like it. The headsets come paired from the factory and I paired mine with my GPS, which is paired to my cell phone. The GPS passes calls through to the Cardo if I choose to accept them. I plug my iPod in directly with the included cable. I could add an A2DP bluetooth adapter to my iPod and run it wireless, but it would just be another thing to charge.
I like not being tethered to the bike or a passenger. Charging the headsets is simple. You can use the AC included adapters or charge from your PC. I travel with a laptop, so I have a choice on long trips. A short day or two trip wouldn't require a charge.
I found my set new from an Amazon.com seller for $329.

What type of helmet do you wear? My wife and I both have 3/4 helmets and I would like get one that we can use with those.

It's mono, so you can't use it with a player, but I don't listen to music while riding, so it's ok anyway.

We've had the Scala Rider Q2, for a couple of years now (my wife has her own bike).....best thing we've ever bought. We have them on all of our helmets (both open face, and full face) I just bought the headsets, and brackets, and swap the 2 radio's.
I have mine paired up to my Tom Tom gps...Can't go wrong with them IMO..

I bought the Scala on E-bay stores for about 1/2 of what the local shops wanted for them.
Ran 3/4 helmet with faceshields.
Works great.
I never tried the cell phone/bluetooth, communication was all I wanted
