CARDO PTB00101 JBL PACKTALK BOLD DUO Sound by JBL HEADSET 2-PACK

Compared to a less expensive, although popular and well known alternate brand, the Cardo Packtalk is a far superior communicator.Very simple app connects quicker than other and is far more simplified and so far no drop out.Intercom communication over music is so much better. Crank up the tunes and when you or partner talk it overlays clearly while music volume lowers then raises when talking is done.Other brand was scratchy at low speeds (surface streets) and yelling to be heard and understood up to 55/60mph. It was completely incoherent garbling at anything above 60mph. This Cardo unit is perfect clear up to 60. At speeds up to 80/90, communication can still be understood with a lot of the background noise taken out considerably.As for cost, the ‘other brand’ 2 pack was about 250$ on sale. Paying an additional $200 more for the Cardo was absolutely WORTH IT!

After 7500 miles miles with my wife on the back of the bike I must say I absolutely love this product. We can both listen to music, make and recieve calls on our own phone independent of the other. At the same time we can talk to each other in full duplex at the same time. Perfect for what I needed. The only thing I wish is that HD would get there head on straight and allow CARDO to connect via bt to the boom box. That is a HD problem though.

There is a bit of a learning curve to using these units, sometimes it doesn't want to connect to my phone, voice commands work most of the time... etc. its really nice for listening to music while riding and decent at communicating with other riders in your group (sometimes there is a bit of a delay and words get cut off).Battery life seems pretty good so far, I've used it on 10 hr rides and it didn't run out.

I was hesitant at first. However, it is totally worth it.The installation is much easier than I expected, and the instructions are actually pretty helpful. The worst part was figuring out where to place the speakers so that it would be comfortable and it would sound good.Talking about sound, the quality of the speakers is amazing! It does a really good job at cancelling sounds while riding, and it also allows you to hear phone calls and other rides pretty well.The microphone is also really good. I was afraid that people would hear me breath or the wind would be too loud, but nope.I definitely recommend this. It is a costy investment, but a very worth one.

Replaced S20 Sena which are a nice pair of headsets. These new ones are even better. With S20, you have to tell her to join the intercom group. With Cardo, once all are set up, the intercom group auto connects once the units are within range of each other. We ride with a total of 6. Seamless integration. Super clear. Music is a little soft but works well. Pricy units but well worth the money. In this case, you get what you pay for.

These are best on the market. I’ve used other products but cardio is the best. I have a very very old set of the Q3s and I finally upgraded. I can’t believe how much better the quality is in the new set. I would definitely recommend these to anyone needing a communication device in their helmet.

This was a gift for my 10 year old grandson so he and his dad could communicate while riding four wheelers. They love the set and the availability to add other users.

We have had intercom systems from three different manufacturers over the years. The Cardo is by far the best. The initial sink up can be a little challenging if you skim the instructions (eye roll) but there are tons of youtube videos that explain the system in great detail. Highly recommend this product.
