Cardo PACKTALK OUTDOOR BLACK

Easy to fit works well good sound quality only problem is remembering the correct voice commands other than that it's grate also I bought a second helmet kit for my motorbike helmet just move the main unit from one to the other that work fine to ,hope this helps.

First off, I was really interested in the Milo, but they weren't shipping when I needed them to (I don't know if they're even shipping yet 4/2023). I decided to go with the Cardo because; the price is the same, they're ready to ship, & Cardo has a good history of similar products in the motorcycle world. I'm glad I went this way.The system works as advertised. You can talk hands free across some pretty good distance. I had no issue synching up 5 units together & all of us talking to one another. I've used this skiing & it lasts all day out on the hill. When I power it down it says that there is still 50% battery. Once the units are all paired together, they will re-pair when powered up next to each other the next day.The unit has controls on it that are easy to access & manipulate with ski gloves on, there's also voice command but I didn't really use it that much. But once you learn what buttons do what command, it's pretty intuitive.This has no built in speaker, so you need to use the provided speaker/mic. They really only fit in the ear pads of a helmet, so you'll need to have that. They do provide stick on options but I don't know where you might mount them on a helmet. Maybe if you have an old pair of headband style headphones, you could rig it up into that. Maybe Cardo will make something.The alternative is to use the plug in jack, where you can plug in a pair of corded headphones with a mic so that you get the full function. IT DOES NOT WORK WITH CORDED HEADPHONES WITH A VOLUME UP/DOWN BUTTON!!! So no apple headphones. I picked up a pair of in ear Sony headphones that work with it.You typically mount it on the side chin straps of the helmet, but a sticky tab is provided for a full face helmet. The clip would work on a backpack strap as well if you don't wear a helmet.To get the most out of it; play music, answer phone calls, adjust the volume levels, etc., you need to pair it with your phone & the app. If you have more than one, I'd suggest pairing & updating with each persons phone so that you don't end up having issues figuring out which unit is paired with your own phone.Once paired, it's really great to listen to music in the background of the entire conversation. Your own music only plays for your unit, not everyone else's.Limits: While skiing, having a hill or mountain blocking caused the units to cut in & out at about a 1/2 mile. If there was someone with another unit between, it helped add strength & distance to the connection. There were no issues with trees, it was really just limited by piles of earth. One annoying thing is the length of the announcement when 'group connection is lost'. If you're apart from your group, but just on the edge of it, you'll jump in & out of the connection, & you'll keep getting announcements. I also wish it worked with apple headphones. One last thing is the delay. It's not an issue if you're away from each other, but riding up the chairlift you hear yourself talk back to you because you get picked up by other mics & you hear the person twice (like an echo) because you hear their voice direct, then the transmitted voice. Not a big issue, easy to just mute your mic or mute the conversation, but something you might not expect.I'm seeing another unit advertised at a much cheaper price point, but it's still in the kickstarter phase so who knows if that gets off the ground. The cardo is ready to ship & it works. I really like using it & it's going to be Christmas/birthday gifts for the rest of the family that skis & boards. I highly recommend these, but your milage may vary depending on the company you keep.

Uso già Packtalk Bold in moto con mia moglie e visto questo dispositivo non ho esitato ad acquistarlo per montarlo sul casco da sci.... Che dire, UNA BOMBA..... consigliatissimo !!!!!

We tried these on a spring Break Ski trip to stay in touch with my 11 year old daughter.We were also planning to use them for biking this summer.We had quite a few issues with setup and using them on our 1st try yesterday.1) We do not all have cell phones and email addresses. I wanted to use this to communicate with my 11 year old daughter who has no phone or email. I tried setting it up with my wife's phone. It seemed to work, but she wasn't skiing with us and as soon as we lost range once i could not find a way to reconnect to the intercom group w/o her phone.I tried to setup my nephew's phone over lunch to get it going again, but the internet requirement was a pain and even afterwards I had trouble getting the group feature setup to work easily.2) We are in the mountains skiing in an area with no internet access. This should not be a requirement for thise type of device.3) The ear pieces were not comfortable smashed against our ears inside of our Ski helmets. We cannot be the only ones with this observation.4. I'm not sure I see a way to use these when bicycling this summer with your bike helmets. No ear flaps!5. Is the only music option to download mp3's? Is there any sort of offline Spotify connection? There needs to be at this price point.

I've had one unit for about six months it's extremely difficult to figure out what exactly you need. I bought a headset an extra headset but apparently I needed an entire device. Finally ordered a second device now I have an extra headset. I've tried to connect the device multiple times it does not pair with my phone. Their website doesn't offer any customer service. The videos are extremely hard to understand as you can't even see what buttons they're really pushing. Hopefully I can get this thing working but as of right now spent about $800 and I have no intercom. Extremely frustrated.

I received a recommendation about this product from a friend who uses it as a bicycle communication system. I recently started mountain and road cycling with a friend of mine and we started doing this hobby together. My first experience with the product was great. I felt safe knowing that I could communicate with my friend throughout the ride and the sound quality was excellent with no communication issues. It was easy to assemble and secure the device on my bicycle helmet as well. When I wasn't talking to my friend, I played music and felt like I was in a video game which is such a cool experience. I can't wait to use the product again!
