    Honestly speaking, after using the pack talk bold for a few years, its totally worth it. Durable, reliable, insane battery life, and the ability to communicate directly with fellow riders has saved some of my friends from accidents. The only thing I do not like is the speakers. They are not the best quality, but I swapped them out for Iasus XSound 2.1 speakers for like 40 bucks. Its absolutely worth the money if you ride frequently.

      I have a similar issue. Try getting your setting the way you want while it's on and connected to the app on your phone. Then turn it off, clear out all apps on your phone. Turn it back on and should work. Something about using the app and then going to any audio messes it up.

    After having the Sena 20S for the last couple of years and I ride in a group, I decided to try the Cardo Edge. I'm going to give it a try. I ride with a passenger, so I bought the pair. I am looking forward to seeing how well they connect to each other and how well they sound while riding. Stay tuned for my updates.

    Amazon's pricing for the Cardo Packtalk Edge changes everyday. Crazy but true. I checked for pricing for several days and when the Edge was offered for $314 - I grabbed one. Some days it's much higher priced. Today (I just checked) the Edge is $370. So, I recommend waiting and checking for a few days.

    I am a new rider and rarely ride with others. I bought the Spirit HD and really like the balance of features vs price. I did buy some leather ear cushions to isolate the sound a little better, but could have probably done without.

    I upgraded from the Cardo G4 to the Packtalk edge this year. I’ve had two rides with the edge and quite a few with the G4. The Edge is a definite huge upgrade. Yesterday i was able to experience using the edge while my wife used the G4 and it worked flawlessly. I was able to use the app during the ride and i am truly blown away with how well it worked. My set up is as follows: 2013 BMW K1600 GTL, Packtalk edge, Tunai firefly, iPhone, Cardo G4. With this set up i was able to play music through the bike’s speakers or my helmet. I could also communicate with my wife via Bluetooth and go right back to my music. I never lost connection and i could hear everything clearly!!! I ran into one snag which had me befuddled before the ride.
    I had turned on the edge and i was trying to use the app. The phone had paired to my edge but every time I went to use the app it said no device found. After about 45 minutes I decided to pair it again for the fifth time only this time I realized that there was two edge units in my Bluetooth section of my iPhone. It was then that i decided to “forget” one of the Bluetooth devices and that was the fix!!!! From then on, it was smooth sailing!!!!!

    I just bought a trio of Packtalk Edge units from Fortnine (Canadians only) for 20% off which was a good deal. At first install I did not find the sound very good but as I discovered, the sound quality and volume you hear varies MASSIVELY depending on where the speakers are positioned. The cut-outs in our helmet liners for the speakers were not anywhere close to being in the right position but a bit of playing around with the various pads included with the Cardo unit allowed me to reposition the speakers to a point where I would say the overall sound quality is very decent given their size. Installed in 2 x HJC RHPA 11 and 1 x AGV K6 Helmets. The latter was a pain as the main helmet liner is a one piece affair.

    • @stevey500
      @stevey500 ปีที่แล้ว

      This couldn't be more true. These speakers need more of a sealing-cushion on them to mate the speakers to the riders' ears. Sure, we don't want to deafen ourselves of our surrounding ambient sound but even the most basic and cheap of over-ear headphone manufacturers have had this figured out for a long time and the helmet coms manufacturers are not considering this at all. When the speakers are properly positioned/have an acoustic seal to the riders' ear, the rider doesn't need to turn the com system volume up nearly as high and it sounds tremendously better and this is why I have a pair of sabotaged $20 over-ear headphones soldered into my current coms system and modified into my helmet, the sound is nothing shy of incredible compared to how these coms systems come out of the box.

  • @DSHoss

    An honest review - you’ve never even used the unit. I get you’ve used the previous generation and like Cardo, but how can you recommend it (or not) having not even used it? For the record, I actually have the Edge and love it but don’t know why this review should influence anybody to buy it.

I returned and got a 50S same exact issues spoke to Sena customer service and was advised to return and exchange for another it had a fault with the circuitry. I advised them I would not be exchanging for another Sena. I exchanged for the CARDO PACK TALK EDGE very easy firmware update over the air (that was outstanding) unit works perfect should have gone with Cardo to start with would have saved myself several headaches. I highly recommend the Cardo product. Ps cycle gear was awesome with there customer service I would also recommend them to.

I literally hooked it up in 10 sec. I got it from revzilla for $235! A LOT CHEAPER than $389! The every year hook up to your computer for upgrades is not a big deal. The black is waterproof too!

    The only thing I’m frustrated with is the inability to mesh connect with other brand headsets. You talk about how important it is to be able to communicate with other riders yet we can’t when we all don’t have the same brand. So, in my opinion, the CB still ranks way better for bike to bike communication. Any CB can talk to any other CB.

    Hi Dan, when using this duo edge packet with the passenger, why is there delay when use intercom? I am already using 2.7 version update, and still almost 1 second delay between driver and passenger. Is there any solution ?

    Can you actually hear anything when riding with this? I bought one of these blutooth systems and i literally cant hear anything over the engine of my bike. And i ride a 200cc with a custom exhaust. So its loud but not as loud as faster bikes. Before buying this i wanna know if its actually loud enough to hear anything? Does it even have active noise cancelling for that price? Im about to buy some bose earbuds and just be done with it lol

  • @Otterplus

    Hopefully it has less aerodynamic drag. I have a Shoei RF1200 and 90% of the wind noise comes from the drag on my Packtalk Bold.

    • @oceanbytez847
      @oceanbytez847 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      As a disclaimer, i use NoNoise ear pro because my bike is straight piped and loud as fuck.
      It's fairly aerodynamic and does not cause a noticable increase in air related noise or pull on the helmet. With the speakers playing (i can hear them perfectly clearly as if i were not using ear pro) i can't hear wind noise at all and the engine is a low growl.
      This is based on my experience at speeds around 60 mph on a 92 honda shadow VT600 VLX.

    Been using the Packtalk Slim for the last few months and honestly not impressed at all with the rider to rider communication. Both of us have a Slim and he rarely can hear me through static or break in communication once we get to speed. Granted I am riding on a Panigale V2 with full Akra exhaust but still very difficult to make out voice once we're moving.
    Is the Edge an improvement over the Slim?

    Yo @DanDanTheFireman thanks for this review. Any thoughts on the Edge's magnetic mount failing in a crash or even just a helmet drop? I love that it's slimmer but this question has stopped me from buying it yet.

    • @oceanbytez847
      @oceanbytez847 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      its a rare earth metal magnet. Its incredibly strong to the point that i need 2 hands and my wife holding the helmet to force it off via brute force (straight vertical pull from the holder).
      However, it was cleverly designed with a ramp in the holder. Your suppose to slide the edge forward on the ramp. This gives you the leverage nessisary to remove it one handed. It still is not easy and it takes the whole hand to slide it then at the end of the ramp the pull drops off enough that it can be easily removed. You can see here at 3:05 this is exactly how he removes it using forward force, not upward force. The sides and back are lipped so it'll catch and hold the edge. If you wreck hard enough the holder breaks allowing the edge to fly off the sides or rear, i doubt you'll be too worried about your cardo at that point.
      The holder itself is held on by a strong glue. Personally, i think the glue is the weak point especially in texas heat. The magnet will hold on long after the glue gives up.

      I am not sure if the Edge likes wind noise too much. Do you use it on a 3/4 or half helmet? Also, make sure the yellow arrow is facing your lips. Moreover, the mic must be in the center of your mouth and close to it.

      Take the cushions on the inside off; if you see grooves and indents, it should work, I believe it also works even if there is no pre-made grooves for speaker systems. If your still unsure I'm sure you could message Cardo or Bell and ask them if it's compatible or not

    I mean these systems (Cardo, Sena) in general are all kinda trash. They do the job and I've been using the Cardo packtalk black for a year now. The main issue is they are so buggy for how much you pay for it. My buddies and I gave up on mesh or conference pairing after it would just disconnect, never come back or just take forever to have everyone try to sync up again. Two way works like 80% of the time and at least with this you can still listen to music or gps directions. I've had bluetooth stop working needed a reset of the device or phone to get working again and the list goes on, just a pain! I work in IT and in no way am I tech illiterate. In comparison my bluetooth earbuds (sadly they dont fit with the helmet) pair and sync as soon as you take it out of the case, they never disconnect or have these problems so its not just the limits of bluetooth. It's kinda sad motorcyclist dont have a seamless device to just work and dont need to fidget with when you are hot in the middle of nowhere trying to reconnect to your friend again after it decided to fail.
