+2 on the Cardo Scala Rider Q2 system. I've had these now for 3 weeks and both the bike to bike and bike to rider are awesome! One of the best purchases I've made.
I am only interested in listening from my bluetooth stereo device and not using the microphone. Can I use the Scala Rider Q2 without the microphone attached? If it matters I use a 3/4 helmet.

As already posted in this thread, NO Scala Rider products do stereo bluetooth.
From the Cardo website FAQs: <<Is this product compatible with the A2DP profile?
At this time none of the Cardo products are compatible with the A2DP profile. >>
The "A2DP profile" is the bluetooth profile for streaming stereo audio.
As I stated in the begiining of rthe post a friend of mine had shown me a helmet with Bluetooth, I did not care all that much for the fact that it was a full face but it actually has quite a few features.
The solid black was not that bad. I guess they also have a flat black.
I would love to take some rides during the day but need to be in phone caontact. ?
I am always on call for my job. I just pair my phone with the Zumo GPS. This doesn't allow me to talk while riding, but I can see on the screen when someone calls in. If it's in my phonebook, it will display the person's name, otherwise it will display the number. I just pull over at the next convenient place and return the call. It works great for me. You don't need a special helmet, nor does it interfere with the radio.
With the Harley unit mentioned above or others such as the Kennedy cellset, you can actually make and receive calls while riding but I do not want that, nor is it a safe practice IMHO.
