Review on Enhance Your Riding Experience with Cardo Motorcycle 45mm Audio Set - Black (Single Pack) by Yousef Abood

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not impressed and not worth upgrading.

I bought these extra speakers to fit my HJC RPHA 11 Pro motorcycle helmet and to be used with the Cardo Packtalk Bold. I was hoping for significantly improved sound quality and volume when paired with my Samsung S9. There is very little increase in volume or response, and the "modernized" sound profiles for Cardo Packtalk seem useless. Soundstage, Harmon Kardon HD in the car, Pioneer Elite with professional Klipsch speakers at home and the latest Sony MDR1000 wireless headphones for travel and music at the gym. All of the above sound great on their own in terms of the systems they are used in and I was hoping for more when I installed these 'upgraded' JBL 45mm speakers in my helmet. I will most likely be returning them and either buying a good quality IEM or tearing apart an old pair of good headphones to build my own helmet speakers. For what it's worth I hooked up the Cardo Packtalk to the Sony headphones and they sound very good. It tells me the Cardo has the power to drive the speakers in the Sony headphones.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Everything is fine
