PACKTALK Edge Motorcycle Bluetooth Communication System Headset Intercom - Dual Pack

I've had the Cardo Packtalk Edge for three seasons now and they work long distances, last all day even with music playing, have a quick attach magnetic attachment, that can go instantly from my snowmobile helmet to ski helmet (they sell helmet kits), and most importantly they just work when turned on by reconnecting without having to re-pair, etc. We have three units in our family and it instantly reconnects to all three when powered on, even if we haven't used them for months. The interface is easy to use - for instance has a large rolling volume adjuster that can be operated with gloves on. Can take phone calls and talk to google or siri to ask to pause or turn up music or ask about weather or whats near me, etc. One mile range plus Mesh network for up to 5 miles, sena compatible via Bluetooth. Independent volume settings for talking and music. Talking is voice activated and will lower music down automatically so you can hear what is being said. They are comfortable, dont even know its there. Small footprint on your helmet. The sound is amazing, I upgraded to the 45mm JBL speakers but the original 40mm were fine too. I do recommend topping off the charge mid off season as a preventative to keep battery life good. Like I said mine last all day with music going. One of the best purchases I've made.

This is my first comm system owned, and so everything is working great. I have 3 HJC i90 modular helmets so I purchased a ‘2nd helmet’ harness for the third helmet. The ease of switching the unit between helmets is very easy. I was going to get the SENA 50b set that integrates with the i90 helmet, but decided to get the Cardo TP Edge so I could use on a different helmet if needed. Yes, the Cardo sticks out a little since it’s not integrated, but attaches easily and is secure, so no worries until helmet hits the ground for any reason. Cardo installation, charging and pairing to iPhone 15 Pro worked great. Only wish I could have Spotify as a music option within the Cardo app, otherwise ok. Intercom between driver and passenger riders works great with small delays and a few cut-outs once in a while, even on fully charged batteries. Most of the time it’s fine however. Audio for voice, GPS, music, is all very clear and wide dynamic range thru the speakers. I use the boom mic with the modular helmet, so just need to be careful when putting helmet on and taking it off. Highly recommended at this point.

Ok, are they worth it yes, are they perfect no, here’s the down low. I bought these to communicate with my wife who is a new rider and they are worth every penny for that. I’ve only used these with the two that we have and they sync up instantly every time with no issue. Usually get 1/4 to a 1/2 mile range with the all the hills and curves. There’s no delay when she’s back, it’s like she never left, you can’t tell a difference. As for the commands it’s hit or miss. I found “hey Cardo”works better for me then “hey siri”. If you expect to use all the commands when riding then your setting your self up for disappointment. Set your music up before the ride on Spotify or whatever you want. The intercom will come and go as you talk and just mute the music a bit. Intercom is clear no issue. Answers calls with ease, call clarity is great. I think the whole hey cardo thing is ok , but requires exact clear verbiage of the commands. For some reason my Siri will beep in and then beep again cutting off my command but I have a love hate relationship with Siri long before I connected to the cardo. It does exactly what I need it to do, talk back and forth with the wife and play music. The speakers are pretty good,not great. Your not going to get top notch quality treble and bass out of a motorcycle helmet. There’s too many variables, like does your helmet fit properly, does it have spots for the speakers, is your helmet quiet. Do your ears line up with the speakers.. I have a AGV k6 and it’s perfect. Could it be better sound sure, but I can give some of that up for reliability. I don’t need noise cancellation except for when im talking to someone on the phone. It’s a helmet on a motorcycle being pummeled with wind noise, it’s not going to be spectacular. Plus you still need to hear what’s going on around you. Buy them you won’t regret it, except maybe a little if your me and they go on sale a week after you buy them for 100$ less on Father’s Day. Oh well.

A great way to communicate with your riding group. Great voice clarity at all speeds and easy to set-up.

I’ve hade this for a month now. Here’s what’s great. The battery life is fantastic for music. I normally don’t communicate via blue tooth. 6hrs of riding and I still had 75% battery left. Easy to set up and pair with phone. Love the magnet connection to the helmet. Wiring inside the helmet is easy. Speakers are very loud…… but here the bad. Minimal base in the music. If you turn on the base option in the app and the volume up the speakers vibrate so much the now the voices and treble is distorted. Loud mode is the best option but little base. I have the Skull Candy low rider headphones and connected the Cardo to those to see if it’s just the speakers and it is. The JBL 40mm speakers just don’t have a large enough magnet to push that good base. But I understand because of the limited space in the helmet. My skull Candy low rider speakers would never be able to fit either. So as a whole, they’re good. I’m keeping them. Are they 350.00 good? Eeeehhh?

Great Product. Easy to install. Very nice sound to it. Features are fantastic. After an 8 hour day using this, it will discharge between 50% and 75%. In other words, it is good for a days ride. I do recharge every day. These are a bit pricy, but you always get what you pay for.

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.

Easy to install following YouTube tutorials. I wear a scorpion covert fx carbon on a MT09SP with Akropovic race exhaust. I wear hear hush earplugs. I haven’t used the Edge as a com device (yet). I have used it for phone music and podcasts and Waze. Volume is surprisingly loud. At 80+ mph I can hear my music clearly over the wind and exhaust. The mic easily picks up my Siri commands and I am able to control my music and podcasts hands free. The buttons on the side of my helmet are pretty easy to use while gloved, I really appreciate how well the roller works for volume control. All parts seem high quality. I’m happy with the purchase.
