Some minor issues like confusing instructions, occasional need for repeated voice commands, and speaker size are mentioned. Overall, the Packtalk Edge is highly recommended for its features and performance.
Had a cheap intercom that worked well but nothing like this. Absolutely over the moon with this product and super fast service from sportsbikeshop as usual
I m totally disappointed by this product. There s so much hype around the Cardo Edge and it s quick, easy and seamless integration with all your devices. My experience is the opposite.
Yes it connects to phones, GPS and bike TFTs, and of course other Cardo intercoms, and for that I have to say it works. But if you want seemless connections and interconnected sound from music, GPS navigation commands and intercom at the same time, forget it.
A quote from Cardos support team directly we cannot guarantee compatibility with third party systems" incredible seeing as this is the basis of their product!
In summary, it has some level of functionality, the hardware is good quality, but I'm sceptical that it offers anything more that much cheaper products available in the market.
Really easy to fit and great sound quality
Lots of hype about this Cardo
I like it for listening to music ..
using the voice command control intermittently works .. slower speeds is better
Connections with Bluetooth doesn't really work that well between riders .. connected with the mesh is better and good quality when it works but find it hit and miss while riding..
Does not warrant the high price tag IMO
I am so pleased with my Cardo, the communication between other riders and pillion is faultless and being able to have navigation on is fantastic. The radio is good when there is a strong signal and being able to play music also through the Cardo app is a real pleasure. Thank you Cardo for making motorcycling even better a really good piece of tec. I would recommend Cardo to anyone who wants quality communications.
Great bit of kit. Really high quality and very easy to use. Makes biking with a chum a lot easier.
Had the offer on where u got an extra 10% back from cardo.... well worth the money very clear when communicating
Bought the Cardo for a long bike tour with friends, and it's proved to be an absolutely essential piece of kit! It's easy to install and set up, then once you've learned a key button combinations and voice commands, you've got an intercom 'mesh' across multiple (up to 12 I think) riders, access to music on your phone, as well as the phone itself. But for group rides, the intercom is fantastic.
Great looking piece of equipment, seems easy to use & great value for money
Amazing bit of kit, very easy to set up, easy to install in my helmet, best thing I’ve bought since I got my bike
I'd been, begrudgingly, waiting to update my old Q1 teamset....Using the set for years, even after Cardo stopped updating it. Finally succumbed to treating myself and wife to the Packtalk edge duo....OMG, what a difference. Absolute levels above the Q1 set...Which you would expect. Wish I had done it earlier. Easy to fit, easy to operate, pairs easily with my iPhone and the app is perfect, not over complicated, easy to use. Absolutely brilliant piece of kit.
A little fiddly to get the wiring just right but sportsbikeshop fabulous as usual
Very clear and with mesh great connectivity with large groups can't recommend enough
Back to biking after a 10+ year lay off and what a revelation. I can pair this with my Africa Twin and enjoy apple play., music, phone calls incoming and intercom.
I bought this as my budget set up wasn't clear or loud enough to hear when connected for training. I went for the Edge over the Neo because the Neo has a cable connection to the base that has to be disconnected when removing from the base for charging, whereas the magnetic base on the Edge holds the cables. It makes removal and refit a bit less of a fiddle, with no dangling cable when base removed from helmet.
Sets up and connects solidly, separate connection set up for phone and bike hub prevents the connection problems of my old system. Sounds clear and audible, mesh ability, unit is easily removed from base for charging. It just does everything a bit more competently, and that gives it the edge. Volume button ok for gloved hand, sing button operations also work, in my experience so far, voice commands required for most operations that use two buttons in a gloved hand. Voice works very well.
Good coms kits are an essential pqrt of riding today and these work really well, follow the instructions in mounting them especially the speakets and mic and you wont have any problems, voice control a bit hit and miss at times if you have a strong accent abd the famous hey cardo radio off isnt as bad as on the Bold
Works perfectly, big improvement over previous comms unit. Would highly recommend to anyone.
I lost my previous Cardo and didn’t hesitate buying the identical unit, again. I always upgrade the speakers as I prefer more bass. That said, the supplied speakers are absolutely fine. It has a good battery life, is reliable, connects with other units and is reasonably good in terms of functionality. Do spend some time reading the instructions if you don’t want to find yourself swearing into the microphone as you realise you have accidentally turned on the de-tuned radio and have 40 miles to travel before you can safely stop!
Jokes aside - good kit. Recommended.
This comes supplied with two complete kits, including two of each of the types of mic.
Yes, the Cardo Packtalk Edge will allow you to either listen to your own music independently, or share your music.
The Cardo Edge is compatible with the Bold mesh. The lead PT Bold will have to add the Edge to the group.
A second helmet kit can be purchased for the Edge systems from quick find 678406.
