Great videos Fred. Keep up the great work.

Thanks Fred, I enjoy you maintenance videos and Sena vs. Cardo review was useful. Will you be updating this video when the Cardo gets updated to BT 5.0?

Good job Fred. I recently switched to the 50S from a 10C EVO. The Bluetooth is much more stable connected to my Tour. I had a previous 30K which as you said was problematic. Updated to Mesh 2.0 and it works quite well for bike to bike with a friend. She rides a VTX which has no connection, but she does use it connected to her Garmin 396. And as you said, wind noise is troublesome on her unit above 50mph. We are experimenting but haven’t solved the problem yet. No issues from my unit inside an LS2 Valiant in open face. Her’s is an HJC flip up that constantly activates the mike even when closed. Yes, chatty Kathys are annoying in a group. Keep up the good work Fred.

Did anybody have a problem with low volume on music for each unit?

After only a year and a half, one of my Sena 50S units is dead. It will only power on when connected to power. I suspect the battery in it is toast. I really expected a longer life out of it. I guess I'll have to tear into it and replace the battery.

You hit the nail on the head with regard to connection issues. I have the Packtalk Bold. I ride alone, and I purchased the Cardo to make the most of Apple Car Play. I always have connection issues. I'd like to sell it and buy the Sena, but the poor waterproofing construction makes me hesitate.
