The best helmet communication device made!
In my opinionthe PackTalk Pro is far superior to any other helmet communication device. I often have to take telephone calls while riding in groups. I’m typically surrounded by loud Harleys (including my own) and people think I’m sitting in my office instead of riding at 80mph down the highway. When you buy yours make sure you don’t yell into the mic, there’s no need as it is really sensitive and the built in processor seperates your voice from the background noise. I find I can communicate with up to 14 riders just like sitting around a campfire. You can hear everyone at the same time unlike with a CB or many other communication devices. The packtalk pro’s battery life lasts for hours, the quality of the music I stream from my phone sounds amazing, it really weighes next to nothing and you can use it in the rain! Voice commands are simple and straight forward. I update my Cardo at least once a year for free on their website. After trying different brands, I’m sold on these! They’re not cheap, but worth every cent!

WORKS! Does everything it says and more. Fantastic product!
Pro is the way to go. Much better clarity and bass on the sound part for music. IF you listen to music while riding. The PackTalk with the Mesh system and ability to control who is in it and lock it down. PERFECT! Going to a bike night with 300 other motorcyclists and keeping comms with your group of 7 was awesome! Range is great. Interface with the phone works good. Very happy with product. It does everything it says it does. Controls are pretty simple to use. Voice commands works too!Mounting to the chin bar on the helmet is ideal for me. Turn my head a bit and see myself in the mirror if I can’t find the button or removing the unit for charging.Battery lasts a long time, The AUTO on/off is the 2nd favorite feature since I ride every day. Love this talk unit.

Love the safety feature, ease of use and the same great Cardo build quality I have come to expect
I have been using Cardo products for a while now, and have never had any issues. I bought a new AGV helmet and my PackTalk Slim did not fit, so an upgrade was in order. The Slim still works flawlessly after 6 years of abuse but the new emergency features and the ability to snap it on and off is a game changer for me. Well worth the price knowing if something happens on the road and I am unable to call, it will automatically do it for me. I ride alone most of the time, so I am not sure how the group talk functionality works, but for listening to music from my iPhone, the JBL speakers are more than loud enough while wearing a pair of 17db ear plugs, the noise cancelling on the microphone is unbelievable on my Harley with Straight Shots, or my ZXR with a Yoshi, if I do answer a call, they cannot tell that I am out on a ride. Very happy with my purchase as always from Cardo Systems.

Quick connecting
The Cardo pro is an outstanding headset. Easy installation. It has very good clear audio and the voice commands work wonderful. I love the crash notification on the unit as it gives peace of mind. Quick charging and I feel for what it offers it is a good price. I cannot say enough praise for this product.

PackTalk Pro or Sena 50R/S?
I had the Sena R for a few months this year in 2024. Overall I was not impressed by anything. The app is very not optimized. Remember when apps were first being developed and you found that it didn’t have basic functionality? That’s what the Sena app was. The Sena Speaker quality was basically “budget” ear bud quality. Ever have to use airplane headphones or buy cheap headphones at a corner store to get you by? That’s was the Sena speakers are. Flat and dull everything, absolutely 0 bass, leaving you feeling that at least some music is better than nothing. But the most terrible part is the voice & audio mixing. No issues hearing people, but if you had music/radio playing and someone would speak/you would speak, it would abruptly dim the music so it would majorly distract you. If you turned off that feature, voices would blast through the speakers and deafen you. The little mixer they include in the app didn’t do enough, so music would be SUPER quiet and voices would be too loud, always.I say all that to tell you that my experience with the PackTalk Pro has been the complete opposite. I’ve had mine for close to 2 months. Outside fitting it to one helmet that has a small fuss (not Cardo’s fault there!), it has been great. App is modern and WORKS. Music sounds great, not fantastic as it’s missing lows, but overall I’m happy with it. They honestly sound like wired Apple Headphones, passable at everything, good at voice. I like that the unit can be removed and attached to other helmets quick. Battery life is fantastic, especially with the auto on/off feature. And the Crash Detection feature can be toggled. It’s great to have another safety net when riding. Outside of the steeper price, I have 0 complaints. It’s a great product. A flagship model that kicks the crap out of the competition.

Works great but can’t agree with the price
Great device. I mainly upgraded from the packtalk slim for the auto on/off function. It truly works great! You no longer have to think about whether or not you forgot to turn it off and because of that, it just feels like the battery life is that much longer. You still have the option of a full shut off if you aren’t going to use the helmet which is even better. The only reason I’m giving 4/5 stars is because the price is unreasonable in my opinion. It’s a great device but they’re asking too much for what it is.

Great Headset the sound is amazing
Great Headset I have multiple helmets with different headsets and these are by far the best a must have. I know that it’s pretty expensive but it’s well worth it in the long run.

Zwei Dinge im Voraus:1. Ich habe dieses Headset als ganz normaler Kunde erworben – nicht als VINE-Kunde kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt bekommen. Von daher wird meine Bewertung sehr objektiv und aus der Praxis heraus vorgenommen.2. Ich hatte ein kleines “Problemchen” und musste den CARDO-Support kontaktieren… Bei diesem PERFEKTEN Support können sich viele, viele andere Firmen eine Scheibe abschneiden! VIELEN DANK CARDO!!Nun zur Bewertung des CARDO PACKTALK PRO:Das Headset ist einfach PRO! Der Einbau ist wie bei anderen Headsets auch, simpel ;-)Das CARDO PACKTALK PRO ist im Grunde eine “Ausbaustufe” des PACKTALK EDGE – aber, wie ich finde, mit sehr guten Neuerungen.Die Cardo-App ist sehr gut gelungen und “aufgeräumt” – alle Funktionen in bester Übersicht, wie schon beim EDGE.Die 45mm JBL-“Kopfhörer” sind nochmal eine Nummer besser, als die 40mm vom EDGE. Sie machen einen echt satten Sound, zumal man über die App Einstellungen dazu anpassen kann. Bei mir im Helm machen die 45mm auch kein Platzproblem und würden dadurch drücken etc. Die Lautstärke bei 190kmh – kein Problem. Ja, es kommt auch auf das Motorrad, den Helm und somit auf die Windgeräusche an…Die CRASH-DETECTION ist ein wirklich gelungenes Future! Man kann diese Funktion über die App EIN-/und AUSSCHALTEN bzw. manuell immer wieder neu einschalten. Aber Achtung: diese CRASH-DETECTION funktioniert nur im ON-ROAD Modus, also im Off-Road-Gelände nicht.Automatische ON/OFF Funktion: auch hier kann man es über die App EIN-/und AUSSCHALTEN. Aber es macht Sinn diese Funktion im ON-Modus zu lassen, denn so vergisst man nie das Headset auszuschalten. Die automatische Ausschaltung liegt bei rund 1min. “Bewegt” man den Helm wieder, so schaltet er sich sofort ein und auch das Handy und/oder GPS ist nach max. 5 Sekunden wieder verbunden – TOLLES FUTURE!INTERKOM-Verbindung: JA, man kann sich auch mit einem SENA verbinden – und somit mit allen “Fremdfabrikaten”.Man hat 2 Interkom-Kanäle (Bluetooth-Headsets) zur Verfügung. Das GPS/NAVI liegt auf einem separaten Kanal, ebenso das Handy.Was die MESH-FUNKTION betrifft, so ist dies im Grunde, wie derzeit bei allen Mesh-Systemen, ein “leidiges” Thema und man kann nur hoffen, dass sie sich, zumindest die großen Hersteller, bald auf einen gemeinsamen Nenner einigen.Ein Update von CARDO in Sachen “OPEN-MESH” soll jetzt irgendwann kommen ;-)ABER, JA es ist auch mit ein paar Handgriffen möglich ein SENA-Gerät in die CARDO-Meshgruppe einzufügen – also auch ein Fremdgerät. Dazu gibt es bei YouTube entsprechende Anleitungen.Der AIR-MOUNT, wie auch schon beim EDGE, ist einfach klasse! Das Headset “saugt” sich (durch ein Magnet) an die Halterung ran. Zum Abnehmen ist ein leichter Druck auf die vordere Halterung notwendig. Das Headset hält ;-)WASSERDICHT – JA, wie üblich bei CARDO. Nicht, wie bei anderen Herstellern nur wasserfest. ;-)AKKU – auch da kann man nur sagen: PRO! ~13 Stunden im DAUEREINSATZ, mit Musik, Navi, Interkom sind kein Problem. Dann liegt die Akkuleistung immer noch bei rund 50% – zumindest war/ist es meine Erfahrung.JA, das CARDO PACKTALK PRO hat seinen Preis, aber gegenüber dem CARDO EDGE sind halt auch die “Updates” schon ne richtige Ansage, wenn man z.B. nur von den größeren Kopfhörern ausgeht, die momentan ca. 80€ kosten…CARDO macht einen TOP-JOB – von der Innovation, vom Service, von der Kundenzufriedenheit. ICH kann nur sagen, sie haben es sich auf die Fahne geschrieben: DER KUNDE IST KÖNIG.ICH kann das CARDO PACKTALK PRO einfach nur empfehlen!! DAS (derzeit) BESTE HEADSET auf dem Markt!

Could not recommend this more, i went on an interstate ride and the battery held up from full charge for more than 11 hours. Could make calls, sound crisp no noise, had connected to phone bluetooth for the whole time playing music, i had to charge my phone before i had to charge this!
