Why Cardo is #1:JBL, Bluetooth 5.2 & Waterproof! W/ @zachchin_ 🔉🔥👊

[@ghassanalfarra8935]

Solo rider myself! 😊 and I too, just installed the freecom 4x in my helmet for the exact same reasons, i.e JBL speakers and voice commands. Couldn't be happier!

[@estebanod]

Same receiving mine tomorrow

[@gingechicken7394]

Got mine, love the sound, but my phone refuses to use or recognize the microphone. Spent more time troubleshooting than installing the unit (not counting time to set the glue plate). Don't think it's a Cardo issue but it's very frustrating

[@HeldIntegral]

Why does this read like a fake review

[@Gixsir]

Problem is I don’t want to pay for all the tech that goes with talking to others I just want music

[@Melan.D]

I’m having the same problem. Have u managed to find a solution?

[@maughmoto8874]

I only bought it to talk to my friends. The music quality leaves something to be desired coming from AirPod pros

[@Ghostsoulless]

@@Melan.DI use active noise cancelling headphones when I ride. It does a good job up to about 70, but above that it starts breaking up and gets too loud. But if you’re just cruising around it’s a great option

[@Melan.D]

@@Ghostsoulless I used to have earphones but they keep sliding out and it’s a pain when putting on the helmet. I’m looking at getting sm speakers for my helmet but don’t know how viable it would be without noise canceling

[@Ghostsoulless]

@@Melan.D I use a neck gaiter and put it high enough to cover my ears so the ear buds don’t get pulled out when I slide my helmet over them. Maybe this would help for you cause I had the same problem for the longest while my helmet was new and tight. But if you do get speakers, I think most people say you wear ear plugs to drown out the engine and wind noise, then just turn up the speakers loud enough to hear them through the plugs. Otherwise you’re gonna fuck your hearing

[@WindyPine1131]

Quick tip: If your cardo is too loud or it get turned up looking over your shoulder then set the volume on your phone about 50-60% so when you’re riding it’s not going to accidentally get turned up and blow your ears out. If you need it louder then adjust one click at a time on the phone 🤘🏻

[@Part-TimePro]

I didn't recognize his voice until he took up the helmet, then it clicked.

[@netterjeff4013]

The best coms unit out there for sure. I upgraded to Edge from Bold this year and don’t regret it for a second! The edge is loud! I don’t use the JBL speakers, instead I use Elgin Ruckus earplug earbuds and the combo is borderline too loud. Cuts ambient noise by 60-70% (wind, engine, road, etc.). Best pairing I’ve found to date.

[@512460]

Well this confirms my purchase for an edge

[@estebanod]

Save some money and go for a 4x.. 4 people is already plenty, 25 is just too much

[@county_bear9509]

Literally just installed my protalk edge today. The speakers fit absolutely perfectly, very clean, and the magnetic clip and disconnect is soo easy. Think im gonna love these. Just would like to make my helmet more quiet.

I love my Cardo Edge. Communication is amazing quality around town so far on rides with my family. Getting turn by turn navigation is awesome too!

lol I had to double check I thought u @ me lmao

[@younesabdelgawad1446]

Senna come with Harmon kardon speakers tho

[@FitRob87]

Can you use this to record audio to your GoPro while riding?

[@jaredvillhelm2002]

The edge is sick

[@TheGoldenTrout]

I have the Edge. The sound is okay. Its not terrible, but definitely not mind blowing.

[@waynehabig5058]

Dear Cardo. It defeats the purpose of “creator content” if you post it. Just makes both of you look fake and an obvious paid for post, not a collaboration.

[@JustaGSXR]

I just ride and listen to my bike

[@nickgandy3]

Ive been running a cardo packtalk bold in my lids since they first came out

[@jacobhendrickson8935]

I prefer the lexin MTX off Amazon after a ton of research and reviews I found several mesh systems that are no where near the price of the cardo units. Matter of fact the most expensive unlimited rider mesh system I found is about half the price of cardo. The lexin MTX is unlimited rider mesh and you get 2 of these for the price of 1 cardo. If you only want like a 10 rider mesh system get the gerelec setup only 150 for a 2 pack. No way would I spend 600 bucks for a helmet intercom.

[@mohammadherbawi473]

I love bass i need bass in my head how good is it ??

I’ve used the cardo bike to bike for years n latest was the Packtalk same as all of my friends we have all changed to Sena set up now n we all find them so much better loader clearer n easier to use. Never would we go back now 🏍🏍🏍

Solo rider here. Cardo Packtalk Slim

[@dodgy_jammer281]

Just don’t get a pack talk slim, had mine for two years and it goes through stages of working then not working, turning on but not turning off and the media buttons not working. Only worked perfectly for a month when I first got it, the edge is better

[@scottforti3194]

Do you wear ear plugs in combination with?

[@TheEagle12901]

@scottforti3194 i personally do not. Quietest helmet ive ever worn but there are so many variables in anatomy. I grew up on a farm on heavy equipment, shooting, and going to concerts without ears...so im a bad example lol

[@Ozark221]

@@scottforti3194 I use an RF1200 with the Bold and either Mack 32db foam or Earpeace Moto with the quietest inserts. The speakers are tuned to sound best through foam; they're incredibly bright and tinny without plugs. Sounds fantastic and I almost never ride without plugs or music!

[@jcbaber7521]

Oh I thought cardo was gonna be some kinda pop singer…I was thinking “bro stop talking…I wanna hear this cardo chic that makes you wanna ride!”

[@obeii1805]

Why it don’t noise cancel to protect ears? It’s like 350 -400 smacks

[@seanz401]

Why not speakers on the bike like harleys have? That are loid but you hear everything outside

[@Antonio95330]

Just bought these this week, and to be honest the speakers are doing a good job but they are not “insanely good”. Basically there’s almost no bass but I guess it’s not easy to produce a better sound quality with intercoms speakers

[@brunociardi9768]

Fun fact the freedom you had and the edge have the exact same speaker build into it, 40 mm jbl speakers, what changes are the options of connectivity for the most part cuz sound quality its the same

[@imhaydenmelrose]

I'm not saying you're wrong, but there's a lot more to sound quality than speaker brand and diameter.

[@brunociardi9768]

Indeed, but in this case both unit he mentions have the exact same hardware in terms of sound quality and volume​, if you buy freedom, edge, neo, etc all of them will sound the same after you install the system on your helmet @@imhaydenmelrose

[@imhaydenmelrose]

@@brunociardi9768 I see. I guess that's slightly disappointing. I suppose it can also be a good thing - depending on your position.

Oof, too bad. The Sena HD speakers sound better at Max volume than the Cardo JBLs. You can charge and listen to music with the Sena for those really long rides, and no Subscription with the Sena. 😢

You need a subscription for Cardo?

You can with the Sena 30k-50k, and it won't reduce the volume when you two want to sing a duet!

[@7.62ROD]

What phone mount are you using ?

[@boonelieb8850]

Harley Davidson has a really good phone mount that they swear by

[@iljamuraschov]

just buy whatever your friends use for easier connectivity. Sena ofc works better with other senas, and cardos work better with other cardos. Imo the high end - harman kardon speakers from sena are even better than the jbls from cardo

[@michaelgraham4069]

The Sena with those speakers are the most expensive, the 50s

[@iljamuraschov]

@@michaelgraham4069 yeah ik, i have that. they have good discounts sometimes, got mine with a friend as a dual pack for 180 a piece

10% of a $500 pair of bluetooth headphones?.....

[@throps1910]

Can I have your old one? I don’t have the money to buy one myself right now

[@volkoff6357]

My Cardo and JBLs were trash. You couldn't hear anything coming through the speakers on the highest valume after you went over 35 mph. I even had the guys at cycle gear check everything and they ciuld do anything to make the volume loud enough. I was still running stock exhaust back then. They are pathetic at best.

[@devinvillegas5048]

The installation portion made me not want to get it Bluetooth is hands free usually

[@karmicmentality]

To be honest, the speakers are trash when going anything above 50km/hr, wind noise is too much after that point that music doesn’t really sound that great

[@EricGonzalez-bd1qd]

So, i purchased the packtalk edge because of this video. I installed it on my Shoei RF1400. Honestly, i am not impressed 😞. Im a huge JBL fan. I have their Charge 5 speaker and absolutely love it. But, the audio from these cardo speakers is very bad! Distorts at higher volume and seems to have NO bass. I even tried playing music on Tidal. Which has like the highest sound quality. Didnt help much:(

[@EricGonzalez-bd1qd]

Any suggestions on improving the sound quality? I went on the app and there is this JBL bass option but it did pretty much nothing

[@raidenout1515]

Music is the last thing i care about when riding . I want to be situationally aware . I also like to hear the machine that goes for sports cars also . I would rather be aware than get caught not paying attention while listening to music.

[@blitzer-ln2nc]

Hate the way cardo sticks out on helmet. But I also hate that I can't hear my sena at speed 🫤

You can't hear the cardo at speed either. Well highway speeds which is what I consider at speed.

@@dpgerarddp I have a rebel 1100 with no windscreen and can hear just fine at 100 mph with my alpine motosafe earplugs

[@dpgerarddp]

@@Denali_Rebel opposite of my experience. Small quiet 300 at 60+ on the highway = no hear. It's very very faint, not actually listenable, with the 45mm(?) speakers. Wind noise on my current helmet is better than my last, don't even notice it with earplugs in but still can't hear my music. With it set to the loud profile in the app too.

300-400 euros for a pair of Bluetooth headphones is apple level of insanity

[@aldvex8541]

Overpriced and overrated . Had tons of problems with cardo and your support guys said to ship it to budapest . What a company ! 🤣 Eventually i paid 300 euro for cardo packtalk bold and another 150 euro for spirit hd and i could not hear my girlfriend when she was inside at gas station and me inflating the tires . Ended up dumping it in the bin and bought a chinese pair mesh which i am very happy with them for 2 years travelling across europe . Never again cardo . Hard lesson for nearly 500 euro at the bin

[@RO-ed8uy]

Does it have better sound than AirPods Pro?

[@tunisa0284]

Get JBL or Sony earbuds

[@MarshOnTwoWheels]

JBL is the Walmart of Audio.. Middle of the road.. Legit just toss in some AirPods, then you have music + earplugs.. And when you need to talk to someone just turn on "Live Listen" to use your iPhone as a mic to listen to what's around you.
