Scala Headset Speakers

Anybody had any trouble with these? I started to have trouble on the forum scottish trip, got home and swapped them for the one's in my missus helmet and all was well. Riding back from Wales, started to have trouble again, firs intermittently stop working, and yesterday out on a wee bimble, one stopped complety and the other intermittent. Stripped them out, dissassembled them, and definitely not the wires, but the actual speaker unit not working.

Emailed Cardo and their response -

You will have the option to upgrade the 40mm speakers for better sounds quality than would have come with the original packaging. This could an issue inside the cradles of the units also. I will recommend possibly looking to upgrade units entirely.. The Q-line has been discontinued by us and will no longer be supported by the community site and will have no future software updates.

So after a year of use, (not a lot over last 12 months), i should go out and spend another £200+ on new set, because I own an old model !!! Get tae feck !!!

Not impressed with Cardo, at all. Units themselves are brilliant, but the earpieces/headphones are shite, just google and see. Would have whole heartedly recommended these, but sadly cannot, let down by a cheap pair of speakers. Replacement from Cardo are £25. No way am I spending more money on these POS speakers.

Next step is to buy a set of over ear headphones and strip the superior quality speakers out and solder them on.

 

I thought it was a bad connection at the jackplug, unplugging and plugging back in worked sometimes, but I think this was more to do with 'jump starting' the speakers, rather than the plug itself. Have the unit currently running with a wired connection to a BT speaker (not using the BT) and is working fine. Can swap over to Scala speakers and nothing or one crackles some thing like the track playing.

 

HAVE I GOT A SOLDERING IRON

Does the pope shit in the forest?

 

Super happy with the scala unit itself, works really well as intercom, answering the phone in emergency(ie when rich misses a big ugly tractor riding by!!!! ), playing music, listening to sat-nav, etc, just the bloody speakers letting the side down

Gave customer services in USA a bollocking for that reply above, they are passing it onto UK arm to get it sorted.
We'll see

 

Previous teaching post was as electronic specialism, so yes

 

Ooooh...an ism

 

Was meant to be specialist, fookin spoolchucker

 

Cheap headphones bought for £10, stripped out speakers.


Soldered into the scala wires


And it works a treat.

Speakers 50% bigger than oe, and sound much better.
