Cardo Packtalk Neo Motorcycle Helmet Communication Intercom System, Single Pack, Black

I had a FodSport unit before this one and the upgrade was totally worth it! Don't get me wrong, the FodSport unit was fantastic bang for your buck, but this Cardo unit outperforms in every category!Controls on the helmet are very easy to use while riding and the voice controls remove the need to even use physical buttonsfor those who want to use the feature. The voice controls for Cardo work awesome and recognize my voice every time.Sound quality is amazing! This unit is much louder than the FodSport with a significantly higher audio quality. Once again, for the price the FodSport unit is great, but if you are okay with a higher price point, buy the Cardo.I have not used the mesh communication yet (Do not know anyone else with one) but everything I have read suggests the Cardo system is great. I have taken phone calls with the Cardo and I was able to have a conversation, which I could hardly do with the FodSport. They did say my audio was grainy, but I was going 55 MPH on a motorcycle, so I will take it.My helmet is a Scorpion EXO Covert 2. The system fits well on the helmet but the faceplate does not leave much room for the mic. I have the mic near my left cheek, it pushes against my cheek a bit but isn't uncomfortable there and allows me to use the voice features.I do often review products on Amazon, but not to this detail. With the cost of the item I read a lot of reviews before purchasing and I am hoping this review will help someone else make the jump to buy a Cardo!

This is the best model in their lineup if you want to spend the least amount of money for the most features. The other models above this have a couple more gimmicks that raise the price another 100 dollars or more. The only reason you to get the edge is if you are gonna do looooooooooooooong road trips where you need the thing to be on for an entire day non stop. Otherwise, the battery lasts long enough for multiple multi-hour rides.- amazing speakers (use the included spacers to get them as close to your ears as possible)- amazing microphone (no wind noise, super clear) and the choice between a little dot mic or one on a flexible arm.- the install was about as easy as it could be- the app is pretty great, lots of options to make it how you like but sometimes takes some messing with it to connect.- the mesh talk is great once its set up but the set up can be annoying at first. The range is great but dense trees will start to cut that down fairly quick- it has its own voice commands that suck but you don't have to use it and your assistant of choice works great with it

The Cardo pack talk edge is the best value for the money in the Cardo catalog. I’ve never in the years I’ve owned this unit had any Bluetooth connectivity issues, it fits perfectly on every helmet made to accept a comms unit. The JBL speakers have great quality, with an adjustable EQ in the application. It is easy to use with only 4 buttons very well spaced out for use while wearing gloves. Overall this is the best comms unit I’ve ever used.

Missing the IFU. Had to watch a few videos on how to connect it since the instruction booklet was missing from the box for some reason. No way to have it replaced. The unit itself is very nice. Other than managing all the wires under my helmet pads, it was fairly easy to install. Sounds amazing. There is an app you must install to use it and the unit will have to update before its first use. I haven't ridden with it yet, I will update the review later.

Easy install, great volume. Very happy with the purchase. I have taken calls while riding and am able to hear clearly and I am able to be heard clearly.

Cardo nevers fails

Seems to work pretty good I don’t have no complaints

Worked great - till it rained... I was using this thing all around town chatting with my friend but when it came time to use it on my vacation - it failed on day one. I got caught in a downpour and it crapped out. No more communication with my friends, no directions, no music... it was a huge letdown. I've messaged Cardo 3 times over the past two weeks and I haven't received a response.Cardo Claims:1.) "IP67 Waterproof. Tough design with the highest standard" - Nope2.) "WATERPROOF. No matter what you throw at it, your waterproof PACKTALK NEO will take the beating and keep you connected. Rain, shine, mud, dust or snow." - you can hear water in it when you shake itRead up on forums before buying a Cardo. They are inconsistent quality and fail to support their product
