Cardo PACKTALK Edge Motorcycle Bluetooth Communication System Headset Intercom - Dual Pack, Black

As others have said, and reviews show, you should get the packtalk edge/neo/pro. I have been using my edge for about a month now, I have gone on motorcycle rides and escooter rides around town. In both situations, the edge performs incredibly well. Voice commands work great in both sets ups. On my scooter I wear a downhill MTB helmet, which allows lots of airflow through the helmet. Even with loud wind noise inside the helmet, the audio still sounds great and no one can tell that I'm out on a ride, they say it sounds like in sitting at home.My motorcycle however, is very loud. Straight-piped 1700cc loud. Even going WOT while talking on the phone, no one can tell. I do wear a full face helmet, so that likely will play a factor when compared to using a half helmet kit, but for what I need, it works great!As far as the DMC goes, unfortunately I don't have anyone that I ride with that uses cardo. I do have a set of Cardo Outdoor and have connected to them to test and everything works fine. Connection is simple and audio is crisp. Range test has not happened yet, but hopefully soon. I have connected to other units via Bluetooth and it works fine, but audio quality seems no better than my uclear from 8 years ago. Not to say that's bad, but the speakers being better quality I expected more.My absolute favorite feature though is easily the voice commands. Mostly I just control the music and volume, jumping between radio and Spotify. Both commands work 95% of the time, the remaining 5% works after a repeat of the command, but never 2 repeats are needed. Volume control without physically touching the cardo is an amazing feature.I've never had a sena unit so I can't compare the quality, however I went with cardo due to living in the PNW (it rains a lot), since the packtalk series are waterproof. I've rode in the rain twice so far. Once was a light rain, the second time was a dense downpour. Both times I didn't have any issues with the cardo and no aftermath.

I cant say enough good things about these Packtalk Edge headsets. They are clear and pair very easily compared to some of the other brands out there. Package came and installed both headsets into my helmet and my wife's helmet. When attaching the boom microphone to mine it wasn't working. When looking at it I noticed one of the little prongs were missing in part that attaches to the headset. The other one was completely fine. I reached out to the seller and they sent me another boom microphone right away. It was hassle free and there response time was fantastic. I would recommend these and also most importantly if purchasing I highly recommend this seller!! Great experience when dealing with the issue I had.

This system BLOWS THE OTHERS OUT OF THE WATER!! No comparison in sound quality, usability, installation ease, and portability. I actually installed my primary system on a Harley half-helmet without the conversion kit (Velcro mic to the ear flap, works great!). Can’t recommend the Cardo Packtalk EDGE highly enough!

This product did everything I expected it to do! It has get sound, easy to install. I haven’t ran the Bluetooth side of the app yet, but the phone connection and sound quality are excellent…

I really like this unit but the voice recognition to turn the music on does not always work, I have to start the music from the phone app most of the time. This has been like this since I bought it new and they told me I need to send it in for repair. Just haven’t had the time and to give it up for few weeks would be very inconvenient.

Have had this since last year and let me tell you it's great! The sound coming from this in my Arai Corsair Helmet is amazing. I'm Cardo fan for life!!!

Love being able to chat with my young kids while riding together

It takes a little bit of time to get all of the audio settings tweaked to your particular helmet, bike --- You. Once you have that set up this system works better than I expected. It took me three or four days to get the audio levels set to what works for me so Navigation plays louder than the music, and to mute the music completely if on the phone. Yes, you can have your music play at different levels behind the phone conversation if you so desire. Adjusting these settings before you take off will make your initial satisfaction higher. I've used it for about a week now, and today have not made any adjustments.... I did make adjustments every time I used it to get to today where I think it is tailored to my needs perfectly.I had an issue that caused a lot of frustration the first two days I used it. It would be working when I started the bike, I would ride a half a block and all audio would drop. It showed it was still connected, Spotify was still playing the music in the background, but my phone had no audio coming out of it and no sound in my helmet. OK, I'm riding away from house, or work, maybe it is a separation drop when I get away from the wifi. I stopped about a mile from my house, shut Cardo off and turned everything back on. It worked for about 20 seconds and I lost all audio again exactly like I described before. With lots of digging (trial and error), it finally occurred to me what the issue was when a phone call came in while I was enroute, and the stereo on the bike showed the caller's name. Yep, the Bluetooth on on the bike stereo was taking control and stealing the audio from the Cardo Edge. I could not turn the audio level up on the bike and hear it, but the Harley stereo and the Cardo were battling for control and neither of them was winning. Audio just went into the abyss. I unpaired the bike and the issue is resolved.Yesterday I had to go out of town for work, and I talked to my wife while on the highway, doing 80 MPH, driving in heavy traffic. I passed a semi and my wife never heard anything but me talking. My bike has moderately loud exhaust, and my wife could not hear anything around me. My senior mom and I have talked on it, and with pretty poor hearing, she hears me very clearly, she also does not hear the noise of the traffic nor the exhaust on the bike. The Cardo is not the cheapest on the market, but in my opinion it is worth every penny. This product works great. I wish they made a Bluetooth system for my 2000 diesel truck that would block the noise like this system does on the bike.
