Ok so I do not often comment on pinned ad comments. But oh my. These are two of my favourite things. Thank you for partnering with them.

This might seem weird, but I'm honestly switching just because USB-C is light years better than micro-USB. I want all micro-USB out of my life.

Not 15 but 9 riders all on Packtalk bold's. It's surprisingly quiet. Cardo's noise cancelling works very well. Years ago this same group all had Sena 20s comms and they were a disaster. Never could get the whole group connected and even with just 4 riders the environment was very noisy. BTW, never really had an issue with voice commands on the Bold...

When it comes to motorcycles and accessories I appreciate that almost every review is totally unbiased.

I love how he goes all in on the owners and chefs but always stays respectful towards the waits

Great Video Review. Thanks. Been using a Scala Rider Q2 for many years, served us well. Losing battery capacity, and connectivity. Time for an Upgrade. Sounds like going straight to the Edge will be the way to go !

The design is defined an upgrade. The Bold looks like the designs from when cellphones first came out.

Haha yep!

I have had a gut full of SENA and my next unit will most likely be a Cardo unit and from your review most likely the Edge. A great review and thanks. And a BIG thumbs up!

Nice review. I have ridden a couple of times with over 15 riders with Cardo. Most have the Bold and a few with the Slim. The conversations that carry on are incredible. Usually wise ass remarks or any topics. Also good for warning objects on road for riders behind the lead riders or letting us know of a scenic view to the side, or need to take a leak…etc. when there’s more than 15, some of us have to start a new group, unfortunately. I wish they would increase the capacity of the network mesh. I think the other competitor has 20(?). Anyways, if I was to buy one now, I’d probably get the edge for the wireless updates. Btw, that range is more like 200+ meters, not 1 km, from our experience.

Thank you sharing this video I been research best cardo comparison!

New sub baby! Very informative and concise!

Seriously considered upgrading from black to edge, but the major let down was the absence of mounting kits (not including the speakers/microphone). Since I've already invested audio kits for the bold/black on my other helmets, as much as I would like to upgrade, the my existing mounts won't be usable. They only sell mounts with the whole audio set. Would be great to simply reuse the speakers and microphones and just replace the mount/cradle itself.

Update on this, they now sell the cradle by itself, glue mount, and clip mount on their website. Finally had my other mounts upgraded without having to change the microphone and speakers.

Hadn't considered upgrading from the Bold until I saw your video showing that you can now use the Edge to connect to the Insta360 cameras. NOW, I'm tempted. Great channel! New subscriber!

Great video and quality! Thanks alot, God bless You! So upgrading is not really worth it, but buying Cardo for the first time... I think I'll go with friend for the Edge Duo ;)

Love the look and upgrades but I don't think I will buy the newer model. Got the packtalk bold last year and still are satisfied 😀

Just saw your video. Very good comparison IMO. I lead my group all around the East Coast of the US on many group rides. And yes I have had 15 riders paired together. Its entertaining to say the least

Cardo edge looks amazing, thin for my full flip shark helmet. Thanks for your superb fun review. Keep it real!

Good comparison, I was wondering how they stacked up to newer version.

Got the edge for almost a month now. Loving the look and sound quality. Having a bit of trouble with the mic positioning for siri and comms, but I'm still switch the positions to trial and error. The rubber flap is really a huge bummer. Same worry. Will be doing a big ride up in July. Might hit close to 15 riders. Keep you updated :P

The issue with the packtalk bold and voice command is going from USA to uk in settings. This will fix your issue in Australia

Love the helmet with the belt around it. Its a Premier you said, but what's the model and where did you get it?

Our riding group has often had 15 riders. No issues at all. Everyone is clear and no issues with noise. we are all very good about not all talking at once but even when multiple people talk at the same time, all can be heard easily.

Our current experience is 11 units, but now we have 14+ in my group, will try it maybe next tour

The voice command on the bold is rubbish. That tempts me to upgrade to edge. Interesting point on using ear plugs with speakers for long trips. Something I looked at for my custom plugs a couple years back but thought it would be a hassle. Will rethink that now as well.

I'm considering buying a system not using one before and wondering about the wind noise which you touched on.You described using earphones at 100km but to me they look like earplugs,just to clarify what are you using.

Fk yes. Just scored a Bold from one of my forums, got a pal to 3D print an adaptor for my Neotec2. Then watched your review, full of win. Where are ya? Didn't recognise any of the skyline in the footage. East coast Aus'..?

I ride in a group of more than 15 riders regularly and we use Cardos. The whole ride feels like a party. It’s not nearly as hectic as you might think though. Some people just like to be apart of the group and listen to the shit talking not partake lol

Surprised you said it was not worth upgrading. I had the same trouble with the bold with no voice commands working. I bought the edge and they work fantastic. Well worth the upgrades just for that alone! At least in my opinion.

nice review, I was especially interested in upgrade reasons. Although I get the feeling that you missed the packtalk slim. It does not have an antenna in the first place and is a lot sleeker than the edge if your Helmet allows to mount the Battery nicely. I have some additional Questions: While voice recognition was not a problem for me so far, hows the radio compared to the old? I have basically no reception, only a hand full channels without hissing and that changes with every movement. Also, has the Volume improved compared to the old JBLs? Last one is range, by what i mean real range. I experience connection loss after two or three turns through the forest, so maybe 200m and 500m at max without obtrusions. Has this improved? (Maybe someone else can share their feedback here aswell, I am very interested.)

Hello. I need an intercom with loud audio for music mostly and GPS directions etc. I have a Harley and I also have the Shoei Glamster Helmet. My current UClear headset I have I have to place the speakers at the back of my ears and not in the helmet speaker spot as there is no room for them in this helmet. Just behind that spot is great I can't feel them but it also makes them harder to hear so I am looking at upgrading to this as it is all black and low profile. Would you say the loudness is adequate and better than others you have used ? TIA.

The test everyone needs for any comms product is how long it takes at your first stop to pair with someone who has a totally different brand.

Sena uses 'universal pairing' vs 'Cardo Gateway Bridge', pretty much the same idea as the other joins as a second mobile phone via limited range Bluetooth. FYI...plan to hear a lot of crackling and crappy voice communications. I was able to bridge a couple of Cardo DMC mesh down to a spare Sena 20S, then connect a Bluetooth Intercom to a 50S, who then turned on their mesh. It actually worked, with lots of crackly, static sounds, plenty of cursing (by me during the process) and a general feeling of 'this would be so much easier if there were a common protocol'. YMMV.

@@chrisjrattray Thanks for your answer! This is our 3rd set of Scala headsets, after G4 and G9, and the G9 were much better in quality in my opinion. We have riding buddies using Scala G9 still so we'll probably stick with Scala so we know it will work to connect. One of the Packtalk units have started behaving badly where the sound just disappears so we'll have to make an upgrade for next season, but we'll wait until then and see if they'll upgrade the Edge beforehand. The retail price for an Edge duo pack is about twice what we paid for the Packtalk duo kit on offer late 2017... For that price we'd like to actually get an upgrade, not just a replacement that might even be worse.

My Cardo Edge will start up by just pressing the media or front button by itself. The two-button act is needed to turn it off, but not to start it up. Is that the same for you? I had a Bold before the Edge, and it started up with just one button also.

Off topic but what's the helmet you're using? Looks sweet.

Says on the website that the Edge will connect to any mainstream Bluetooth headset, I like wireless innies but I cannot get them to pair with the Edge. Anyone managed this?

I wonder if Edge fixed the next problem: when on parallel audio streaming (bluetooth mixing) the mobile phone's GPS or music is cutting audio making it impossible to listen while talking to intercom 1. It may be due to the fact on the other end is a Sena and not a Cardo, and it is on universal pairing. Doesn't matter if the phone is paired on channel 1 or 2, it does the same, which is weird since there are TWO Bluetooth channels. One should be used for intercom and one for phone, without cutting the audio. Even if love the Cardo's sound quality I don't use it because of that. My wife has a Sena and is impossible to talk to her and listen to GPS in the same time...

It’s not just because one’s a sena. Unfortunately lol. I bought the bolds for my bf and I, and we have the same issue. If we need GPS to go somewhere, we can hear it if we’re completely silent, but if we’re talking to each other, the GPS gets insanely quiet to the point you cannot make out a single word it’s saying, all you hear is a little tiny whisper that lets you know to shut up and hope it repeats the instruction when you get closer to your exit or your turn. It makes for a very frustrating ride . I wish they would fix that. I don’t mind the gps cutting our communication out for 2 seconds if it means we don’t miss our turns 20x in one ride. 😂

I have 1 question, is the sound quality of Edge with bold JBL to listen to music equal or superior to Edge?

How did you set up those ear buds in your helmet?

Video idea, review latest feature updates (record voice chat to phone, bridge Sena mesh to Cardo DMC)

i did with 15 rider. Sometime i muted them to play some music.. even i need more until 20 rider if have to.

So it connects with a magnet and holds on with a clip like the bold ?

how about the speaker? it same bold and edge or better edge for music?

hey, can you send a link to your ear plugs? thanks

if you are buying it new, and the prices are the same, get the edge. if you can get 50% off the old one, that will probably suffice.

Is the edge and bold compatible with each other ??

I used mine the first time last weekend. Love it but no one ever talks about the biggest problem. 5 or 6 people with an open mike. Cardo is addressing the problem with the private chat. Lets say you are on a ride with three other couples. You push the button to have private chat with your wife. She make disparaging remark about the size of her bleep! Well there is now way of knowing who heard the comment. Well if you have the phone on your handlebar and the app open you would know. If you have an I phone 12 or higher. Your handlebar mount will destroy it in one ride. It could be solved with a prompt. When you push the private but it could say. Your in private mode. Or your in group mode. Anyway I liked your video. Good job!

Thanks for the review. I've had a couple of Packtalk Bolds and convinced the mates I ride with to buy them. Never 15 of us but max of 6 at a time. My view, this product costs a lot of money and although the mesh idea is cool and rejoins riders there is no way the range has ever got to anywhere near 1 mile and defintely it is very difficult to hear some people when your speeds are 100kph. Often the person connected via bluetooth is clearer than those with Packtalks on the mesh network. So I question performance over cost. My next bitch is the USB charging connection and its constant failing so that you either have to buy another unit or find someone who will pull the unit apart and fix it. This is wear over time of charging but still annoying - especially if you buy from a site like Chromeburner and Packtalk locally will not support and tell you to send back to them ?? My next decision isn't whether to upgrade to the Edge but rather is there a better option out there ? Interested in your feedback Rob.
