Great alternative to Sena

I've been a Sena customer since 2013 and looking back I can't believe it took me so long to try something else. Never in my time as a sena customer have I been impressed or even satisfied with a product. I tried them all: smh10, 10, 10r, 20, evo, sf4, 30k and 50. Each of them had a problem. Most of the time it was connection or audio quality issues, and all the time it was software issues. You could never just.work. There was always something wrong. I just assumed they were helmet…

Cardo Packtalk Bold was a big disappointment

I was really hoping I would like this headset but found it seriously flawed tonight and for the test ride this morning. Cardo says it's partnered with JBL, and the box says "Now with JBL's powerful, immersive sound," so I was expecting quality sound. The sound is very quiet and no bass. I've read some reviews about poor sound quality, but had to experience it myself. At highway speeds (75 mph) with the helmet on and the volume maxed out, the noise was barely noticeable. I stopped to adjust the…

Pros
  • A year long test
Cons
  • Hard to say

Worst customer service I have ever experienced

I have shopped a lot of motorcycle accessories and Cardo PackTalk Bold is by far the worst experience I have ever had. If I could give negative stars I would. Product marketing promises a lot but misses some basics. The recognizability of voice commands in normal driving is very low. The only command I was able to respond to was a request for "battery status". Attempts to get it to recognize commands like "turn on the radio", "turn on the music", "speed dial" etc. were unsuccessful. The only…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • I will not say anything

Cardo for dummies with helmet Communication

So my husband and I finally found time for ourselves and went for a run. We're not techies at all. We are watching several videos on You Tube to install the Talk Pack Bold Duo in our helmets. The video was great too. Showed all kinds of helmets. I charged the batteries overnight. It took us about 30 minutes to install the helmet. I am very glad we bought jbl. The sound was crystal clear and the bass sounded good. Yes it was very expensive but it was worth it. I think if you are going on a one…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Almost never

Sound waves are science. Cardo seems to know that.

Conclusion: It works as advertised and I will buy a second one. Everyone who expects Dolby surround sound or car audio quality with 12 speakers. does not understand the acoustics and the environment in which it works. I wish it sounded more reliable, yes. But it's a good balance between having fun on the go and being able to keep track of what's going on around you, YES! Longer Version: Okay, I had it and used it on my daily commute for about 4 months. So far I've never run out of battery, but…
