So picked one up this last weekend after alot of review and work. Factory paired sets came out of the box and worked great! Clear communications even at speed. So far we have used them bike to bike between my wife and I. I haven't tried the other features yet but plan on giving it a shot over the course of the week, and I will provide a full review then.
Install was a snap and I used the glue plates that came with it. I will include install pics and what comes in the package kits shortly. So far pretty impressed.

How well do they work when wearing foam ear plugs?

I want to try this as well. Are you just wearing a standard set of yellow foam or orange foam ear plugs? If so I will grab a set from work and give it a try.
they work great with ear plugs.
Just an FYI - to those who have a set of these, there is a firmware update out for them. (although when I did it 3 weeks ago, the computer software needed to run the update was ONLY available in the 32 bit version.) (all of my computers are currently 64 bit)
The update fixed an issue I was having pairing with one of my Nuvi's.

I'm very happy with my G4 and have it paired to two Q2 units. I always wear foam ear plugs and the soumd is like the person is standing right next to me. I did the on-line upgrade - no problem.
You say you paired the G4 with your Nuvi's? Which model Nuvi's do you have?
I just bought a set too. They work well, make sure you route the right speaker through the top liner over the head for the FM radio to work well. The right speaker is also the antenna wire. I blue toothed it to my cell phone, not sure that was a great idea. But they do work well, highly recommended if you must talk to some one while riding.
We just got the G4's a couple of weeks ago and have them installed and as soon as I'm done working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, we are going to try them out. They work great off the bike and installation was a breeze. I love the fact that you don't have anything else to mess with.
Howdy,
Upate after a couple of uses. So heres the skinny...
1. So in general good quality.. its kinda what you expect out of small speakers though.. (at least this is my set.. so if you have a set and your getting amazing no crackling audio out of your speakers let me know) where the sound crackles at volume. This is made more interesting at speed but I can still understand my wife fine at 70+. Now her on the other hand can't understand what I am saying about 1/2 the time. Im not sure if this has to do with the position of the microphone or if I am doing something incorrectly or if there was a defect. Gotta play with it a bit more and give feedback.
Im going to try the ear plugs today and monkey with it but I get alot of "small speaker" cracking distortion over the speakers.... Anyone else.. is this normal?
thanks

Make sure you have the mic right at your mouth, and as close as possible (touching is best), and facing the right direction (there's a front and a rear side to the mic). Also make sure the speakers are directly centered on you ear canals, and as close as possible to you ears (again, touching is best).
I do the above, use foam ear plugs, and can hear clearly even at 80 mph. I do not get any crackling sounds. I did at first, after about 1/2 hour of use, and had to turn the unit off then back on to get it cleared. I emailed the company and they sent some instructions to fix this issue (I'll post them up when I get home tonight). Haven't used the instructions yet; just got them.
I do get more static when under power lines and the such than I did with my Q2. Not sure why. Maybe more sensitive due to the significantly increased range. :musik20:
