Thank you so much! Glad to hear you’re back out there!

Just subscribed to help you get to the magic number. I bought the Sena 20s whenever it was the new, biggest thing. After a few years, its ability to hold a charge was so diminished, I replaced it with a Sena 30k. I've only had it for a couple years. I have the Sena on my ADV helmet. I put the Cardo Packtalk Edge on my dirt bike helmet a few months ago because all my dirt bike riding buddies either had the Cardo or were getting Cardo and we wanted to be able to communicate on the trails. I have to admit that after years with Sena, I prefer the Cardo. I plan to get a second helmet kit so that I can also use the Cardo unit on my ADV helmet and keep the Sena as a spare. I just with the second helmet kit wasn't so expensive.

Thank you for the detailed review! I currently have a 10R and am looking to upgrade my headset/helmet after 7 years of use. The 10R music quality is pretty terrible.. I'm glad the Cardo is much better!

Having the Sena 50s since release. I don't like the software but it connects immediately and never let me down. Not that I do like their design but for me it has the best voice quality. But honestly, I do see a lot of people switching to Cardo. Therefore, I wish you luck with your new ones ;-)

Great info…subscribed because of it. 👍🏻

I like this video you shared.❤我喜欢你分享的这个视频。❤

Went from Sena to Cardo, great decision

Thanks for the review... and on Cardo's website they currently have a bundle of packtalk edge and second helmet kit for $476.95. So still expensive, but not too shabby if the quality is there.

Great job on the review. I recently switched to a Sena for my Shoei helmet. I didn't know about the waterproof issue. Hopefully, I don't have any issues...if I do, I'll switch back to Cardo.

I had a Sena 20S do exactly the same. 1 x 3 hour ride in a winter rain storm and the mic stopped working. Had the 50s for a few years now and not had that issue again fortunately. Hopefully Sena step up their game and actually start waterproofing their units. Cant switch unfortunately, as all of our group uses the sena mesh.

I believe with a new update the Cardo mesh now works with Sena but I could be wrong. Thanks for watching!

I have my cardo packtalk edge paired via BT to a sena mesh+ and turned on bridge mode. So now I'm on the Cardo DMC Mesh and on the Sena Mesh (public channels only). It's pretty neat. The only downside is that I need activate the BT bridge mode using the phone everytime I want to use it. So it's not automatically doing that after powering on both devices.

Awesome to hear! Thanks for watching!

Hope about an actual review? We get it that it’s waterproof, but how about the cool features, range you experienced, battery life, any shortcomings???

I bought the 50s 3 weeks ago and unfortunately I had a lot of trouble with them. The dongle workt fine the first time but I couldn't get it hooked up to the network the times after. The reset also doesn't work anymore. Updating the 50s by computers on the orher hand works great. For some reason my noise cancelling (the beeb) kicked in after every call i had, making is "beeping" trough my music every second. I got a second unit but it had the same problems. I have a Freecom 4x so I knew the quality. A switched the 50s for a Pecktalk Neo and no problems or troubles whatsoever. Mayby i was unlucky but if factory research points out there was no problem with the software, then I recommend to never buy the 50s for a Caberg Evo Drift helmet.

Only CARDO’s for my SHOEI’s!! It’s just that simple. SENA headsets are awful in the rain and they do stuff without my input!! SENA, see ya! 👋 ✌️

Plus the Sena is like hangin* a brick off the side of your helmet

I had the sense SMH 10 years ago… was a pain to link and after a few years the rubberized outer coating on the unit actually began to degrade and was tacky/sticky to the touch. Literally gave it away.

Havent had good experiences with cardo. Sena was always hit or miss. I picked up Lexin and havent gone back to any other. They have a really affordable option and if ya dont ride with alot of folks, they work well. Im not an audiophile tho. Ive been happy with it Anyone else use Lexin?

I use the old B4FM on one of my helmets and just picked up the B4FM with USBC about a month ago. Rode from Williamston NC to Williamsburg VA and had no issues.

Except that the majority of people buy the senas. So if the majority of my motorcycle buddies have the sena 50s, it would make no sense for a guy like me to go and get a cardo. When 75% of the people run the sena 50. S's and 2% run a cardo. It don't work very good. Unless you're just a solo rider and you ride by yourself all the time.

This is something I forgot to mention but Cardo has a new software update that allows the Cardo DMC (Cardo version of Sena Mesh) to be compatible with Sena Mesh by utilizing Bluetooth. It’s a bit confusing to explain but if you go look at the Cardo website it explains how it works and how to set it up. Thanks for watching

Except the majority of Sena users Sena 50's will turn to junk if they ever get wet.

Staying with sena. Cardo doesnt give you more than 6 preset radio stations. Not everyone uses podcast and there’s not phone signal on the mountains. I don’t ride under the rain so im not worried about anything else.

Good lord, dragging a question that could be answered in 40 sec into a 14 min with loads of bs is annoying asf, take my downvote!
