Recently bought a bold specifically for the intercom function. It's great. The "Hey Cardo" voice command works nice. The reception is great and when you get back in range of your another unit it 't always reconnects automatically. Considering this is the top of the range it's definitely worth the money.
I can't believe you made a video review of a Cardo whose only change is bigger speakers, and didn't review the speakers. You basically spent 3 minutes reading the product description out loud.
I agree. What was the point of this speaker review? He mentioned the size and the price difference. You know what it wasn’t a real speaker review? Because they suck! I bought one and those speakers are not worth $70 extra above the already crappy 40mm speakers. They aren’t going to review the sound because then it won’t sell. I returned the the one I bought to cycle gear the next day. I’m just using my AirPods and the music from them sounds 1000 times better.. And JBL, You should be ashamed of yourselves for this over priced garbage !!
I've had the Packtalk Black for about a month and it works great with the iPhoneX. The sound quality is awesome (my pipes are very loud 02 Heritage Springer), plenty loud; the voice commands are responsive; it's easy to pair; the battery life is awesome; and it's easy to install. I have it in a C3 Pro.
Went Cardo Packtalk Black from a Sena 20S. Night and Day difference in terms of sound quality and volume. Have not used 10% of its features yet, but loving the audio.
Love my Packtalk Bold! Top notch product with top notch sound from the JBL speakers. We now have 12 of them in our riding group and they significantly increase group riding safety not to mention when someone needs to stop. Seamless reception of phone calls, music and intercom amongst the entire group and all done hands free with voice commands. Well done Cardo!
Cardo, please update your units to USB-C. Not buying until I don't have to worry if I brought the correct cable or having the weak Micro-USB jack give out.
I've owned Sena 10c pro for awhile now and I must say, this was a huge upgrade in sound for me. They sound fantastic! I can't imagine going 5mm up in size from the regular Packtalk Bold would be a significant boost or quality in sound.
@@TheKillo101 i have also had the 10c pro for over a year maybe i installed my speakers wrong ? Or i need to listen to both back to back i felt like it was the same ?
You guys should know for sure. Does it fit well on HJC 90S Carbon? If I am going to spend so much on one, wants to make sure. The HJC 90 is built around the SENA 20B Comm.
Nothing is new here. They’ve already reviewed the unit and the jbl speakers in the past. Just the color and packaging is different.as for sound quality, it seems helmet speakers are some what of a contentious subject. A lot of it has to do with the helmet, instillation, etc. some people say these are a game changer some say they sound worse then stock. If you are looking for good sound quality but want a communication device, I’d look into in ear monitors. Cheers.
This review was on the whole unit, not just the JBL speakers and since the Packtalk Black is like he mentioned, basically a blacked out version of the Bold, this review is just covering the minor changes. As far as sound quality. I have the Packtalk Bold with the 40 mm JBL speakers. When I'm riding with my son and we talk back and fourth, the quality of our voice is excellent. When I ride solo, I listen to music and the sound quality is as expected from JBL speakers of this size. Great mids and highs but if you're looking for great bass, these speakers don't really deliver much bass due to their design. I would say the bass is acceptable for the design but it's nothing that will rattle your head lol. The sound quality is good enough that I would recommend them. Any more questions about the Packtalk Bold or the JBL speakers I'll be happy to answer.
Just a few weeks ago I bought the JBL 45mm speakers to pair with my Cardo packtalk slim. It's borderline garbage. The speakers literally start getting distortion at around 80% of it's max output. You want to know what's a pretty good alternative though? My new Samsung Galaxy buds live! They don't go into your ear canal very far so the seal isn't phenomenal BUT they lay flat against my ears which makes them fit under my helmet. I personally feel like the audio quality from my cheaper wireless earbuds are better than these JBL speakers. Obviously if you want to have a microphone, my solution won't really work but I figured I would share anyways.
@@jimbert50 I'm sorry I might've mislead you a little bit. I was trying to say that I connect my wireless earbuds directly to my phone via bluetooth. I returned my JBL speakers and Cardo PackTalk Slim. I don't think my headphones would work very good for talking but if you're strictly looking for a way to listen to music/navigation, it may be something to consider. I hope this helps.
Have you used the advanced JBL settings in the app to adjust the sound? The speakers are generally the same between the two but the JBL's advantage is that you get to tweak the sound through a very basic equalizer in the app that the standard speakers cannot access.

I don’t think your hearing is that good if you can’t tell the difference. Try doing the linking with the app and the code that comes with the jbl speakers
@@LarryBarbosa I had to download the update for the cardo unit but once I did that and scanned the QR code I was able to access the JBL equalizer which is a bit of a joke and really did not make whole heck of a lot of difference, at least it didn't make $80 worth of difference that's for sure... and it's not really a true equalizer either, you have to make a choice whether you want to hear more bass or more high-end voice range
Cardo is great but this update is silly. The 50R/50S from Sena have BT 5.0 already, I was expecting this update to include that feature but it’s only bigger speakers and a color scheme...
There's no way of knowing what the sound quality is like from this review, but better made speakers of the same size can sound wildly better. Larger speaker drivers that are also higher quality has the potential for dramatically increasing the sound quality. I mean, the speaker industry is pretty big right? Home audio, car audio, the bluetooth speaker market and the headphone market. Better sound quality in a device that is all about sound seems like it has the potential to be worthwhile.
@@zero11010 I guess it will benefit those who like to use the speakers, for my Cardo I ditch the speakers and plug in my own earbuds for better noise isolation
Then buy the Packtalk Slim. I have it and really like it. Well, except for music. The music sound quality is awful to the point that I never ever listen to it. Not sure if the JBL speakers would help and this review did not cover that even though they were mentioned in the title. But for voice communication the sound quality is excellent and even loud wind noise is suppressed.
I got the Packtalk Slim about two years ago, and upgraded to the JBL 45mm speakers a bit under a year back. LOVE this combo: the stock speakers were actually okay, but the difference with the large JBLs is undeniable. No tech issues so far, and the only criticism I can level against the Slim is that plugging in the micro-USB connector for charging can be fussy at times.
What Bluetooth version does it have? Is it 5.0+? USB C? When I bought a Bold 2 years ago, it was Bluetooth 4.2 and still used micro usb. It was old tech in 2019. Have they upgraded more than the speakers?
Τhey sell them in all countries worldwide but their support is very poor and in countries that have no local support the problem is big for the owners. Even within the warranty you have to send it registered with tracking number with the corresponding cost. 3 problems happened to me at different times 35 $ x 3 = $ 105 additional cost for for their non-existent guarantee. Never again...!!!
Is that the Shoei NXR helment? And if it is were you able to use the slide in mounting case with that model helment? Or did you have to use the case that attaches with 3m tape. I can not tell by looking at it in the video. I just got the NXR2 and I am wondering wich one I will have to use to attach the cardio if I get it.
So far the audio quality is good and it's easy to use, unfortunately it's still not loud enough at 80 mph wearing a Arai Defiant X on a Triumph Street Triple R. I have no idea why these brands don't put louder speakers in their helmets. Even on a bike with a big windscreen, the volume is inefficient.
Are you wearing ear plugs while riding? It may sound counter-intuitive, but wearing ear plugs will reduce the wind/ambient noise and allow you to hear the speakers next to your ear that much better. For reference, I commute on a Street Triple Rx for an hour on the highway with the speakers playing just fine. Either that or the volume on your phone might be lowered and not allowing full volume through the headset? Might be worth looking into. -Pat
@@RevZilla I wear ear plugs. I have the Cardo app and have watched mulitple videos on how to make the system louder. It's still extremely disappointing.
Just keep them at the store you plan on buying them from cuz they are not worth $350.00. If you cant even hear the music that you want through the speakers then it isn’t worth buying at all. And for just the intercom feature then that’s up to the user to determine if $350.00 is worth spending on these things. I personally think they are way way over priced for the quality you get. I would say for the intercom features $150.00 is more then enough for these things.
How does this compare to the sena 50r ? I'd love to see a comparison. Trying to work out which to buy. I'm thinking about upgrading from a sena smh10r.
Does it work on the new BMW connect app and TFT so you can use the controls on the handlebar ? And does the volumecontol works with the wheel at the handlebar ? ( you can connect to the BMW interface but you don't have a volumecontrol with other cardo en sena systems )
4 months late. But I have mine connected to my TFT and it intercoms with my passenger. I can answer calls and play music with the wheel. also can hear the nav on my phone thru the packtalk. Not sure about volume control. Will check it out this weekend. It doesn't have any real interface with the BMW connect app.
I wanted to like Cardo but after no replies to two emails asking about tech issues with no response from them I'm soured. For example I have the Q-Solo. The unit is constantly opening the mic so I hear it in the ears. I've found no way to adjust sensitivity or even just disable it.

The cell phone quality is terrible. I can barely hear the person I’m calling and they can barely hear me. The music is OK but nothing like wearing earbuds. I ride solo 99% of the time so talking to other riders isn’t important at this moment. Knowing what I know now I wouldn’t have bought it. 👎🏾
Complete garbage. 5 of us bought the packtalk slim. Nothing but problems. 3 have been in for warranty that took many weeks. Mine came back with a defective battery so now it has to go back again. Pairing issues galore We get maybe 100-150 meters max. They rarely auto reconnect. Massive waste of money. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT unless you want to throw away money.
I have a freecom 4 and what a piece of Sh..... Clunky to use, the commands are impossible to remember, the connection with the other set cuts outs all the time... Pain Pain Pain not worth it.
MRR - True, but the included JBL speakers are 40MM in diameter which is why the Packtalk Black upgrades you to the 45MM. & Yes it makes a difference!🎧🎼😎

Just get the Cardo Freecom 4 for half the price. Equally as good.
Good but not DMC good

+ No Natural voice operator or the upgraded JBL 45MM speakers! 🔊

MRR - True, but the included JBL speakers are 40MM in diameter which is why the Packtalk Black upgrades you to the 45MM.
& Yes it makes a difference!🎧🎼😎
