Cardo PACKTALK EDGE - DUO

Having the ability to answer phone calls and messages is must for me on my bike, not only that having some background music is something that makes any journey a pleasure and for that you need a intercom system. Now we all know there are so many different ones around and I personal have gone through a few myself, from other brand names too cheap imported china own system, and a lot work well, and give you the freedom of communication while on your bike. I use a iPhone as my name phone, and some of the features of this is Siri, Like Android with its Google Assistant, and then there is also Samsung with Bixsby all are great to use but making sure your comms system can work with these are not as easy. I found a few cheap system that work well, but do not last, or the sound quality is modest at best, others like Cardo and Sena are more known for being the best around, and with that they do come at a price. I went for the Cardo based of reviews (like my own) and it offered what I wanted and needed from a comms system. I was able to fully access my phones feature, and with the Cardo Packtalk Edge you also get the “Hay Cardo” feature to make some feature that bit more easier to access. Using “Hay Cardo Music on” to start your music is easy, while yes you can also say “Hay Siri” play playlist bike…. Which allows you easy ways to play your music on the go, the down side I personally found was the “Hay Cardo” like to randomly switch on the radio when I was talking over the intercom, and that it activated without needing to use the words “Hay Cardo”. So having a way to disable some actions would be really useful, like to disable the radio from activating unless you did it from the physical buttons on the unit or via the iPhone app for it. Apart from that the comms side of having a couple of ppl talking over intercom is great, the range isn’t as good as I thought, less than 500m a lot of the time in built top area, and that’s on DMC, not tested direct on bluetooth thou. I love having music on why also talking, that feature alone makes the Cardo worth every penny and there are a lot pennies to buy this setup. The only one other area was sound quality, I did expect more from it for the price, and to get the high spec speakers (45mm JBL) are close to an extra £100 on top. The units are easy to fit and setup with your phone as well as GPS units ( I have mine link to phone and tomtom 550) you get everything you need in the box for all style of helmets to mount it too, and it’s so easy to fit your be up and running in no time. Also now run them to my bike for use which also works great. Overall I really happy with my purchase of the Cardo PACKTALK Edge and It work really well, If they came with the 45mm better sound quality speakers from stock they would get a 10/10 but based on the costs you pay for this setup I can only give it a 9/10. If you want the best and got the money then these are for you no question on that. So easy to use with the iPhone app, and I love all the features. You really couldn’t go back to a standard setup once you tried these. Just need more people to get on the DMC network for more fun in group rides this way 🙂 I purchased the Duo set as I wanted my wife to have one, I also brought the 45mm JBL speaker to upgrade them.

Omg.. I was concerned because of the cost, most I ever spent was £100 on a headset previously.. but this is WELL WORTH IT. Sound is crystal clear even at 70mph.. the ability to adjust its own volume depending on ambient noise around you is great.. I had my music loud and could hear every lyric but I could still hear cars passing me closely too and hear my bike. The cardo voice recognition takes a bit of getting used to, but after a few trial and errors I got better at it.. pretty funny too because i tried every command to get it to play music before admitting defeat and actually reading the manual on its commands.. music on is not in my vocabulary apparently. The voice also hears you even if your in a loud environment and are not shouting. It understands me well despite my Welsh accent. Not sure how it would handle thicker accents though. The cardo voice also makes life easier when wanting to make a phone call or change music etc while riding in busy traffic and you can't free your hands. The magnetic holder is amazing. No faffing around with wires to unplug or charge it.. simply place it near the holder andbthe magnets do the rest. Its also very strong.. im curious by nature so I tried to see if I could pull it off. No you can't and trying will probably break a nail. It's easy to remove properly though too. The mic is brilliant at phonecalls too. Going along the motorway in rain at 70mph and my caller could hear every word I said easily. It seems to be sturdy in resisting water too. I havent tried the intercoms yet but I will update when I do. I'm just waiting on a willing ride companion to Do so. The app is easy to navigate and you can change voice sensitivity and volume levels amongst other things on it to suit you. All in all. I love it. The comparison to a cheap one isn't even plausible. It's better in every way by far.. its worth the money!

This kit has been amazing! It's so much better than the prevous PTT radios we used to use. We've never had a single issue with hearing false activations of the mic (e.g. when coughing or from wind noise etc.). The Youtube videos on PackTalk YT channel are very infromative in helping you get it set up easily. Battery seems to last forever! I've only charged it a couple of times since initial setup. They automatically connect to your phone and each other so no manual effort required at all. All in all I'm very glad we purchased them!

Produto de excelente qualidade.

Jeśli to jest wysoki poziom dźwięków ze słuchawek JBL - to nie chcę wiedzieć jak grają „chińskie” interkomy motocyklowe. Drogo, ale daje dodatkową radość z jazdy na motocyklu.

Dopo diverso tempo, recensisco il prodotto che amio avviso è ottimo, all'interno del casco anche in autostrada, si sente molto bene e se sei in chiamata il suono è chiaro e limpido....consigliatissimo

Cardo did not disappoint, installation was straight forward, the air mount makes life so much easier when needing to charge it. Sound quality is very good. Microphone has a bit of issues picking my voice when riding faster due to wind but raising voice a little helps.

Vraiment très surpris par la qualité du produit, le qualité du son au top, la qualité des communications, rien à dire. Franchement Cardo il assure 👍😉. Facile à installer également.
