Cardo PACKTALK EDGEPHONES

These work great while riding on the side by side so that we can knock out the noice, can listen to music and are able to communicate with others that have the Cardo Edgephones. Have had several phone calls while using and the sound is wonderful. Highly recommend

This headset is 100% going to fit around your large head, I guarantee. The "tight fit" people are talking about is how the headset grasps your head pretty hard, and that's because they're supposed to. If anything, you WANT them to. These are designed for people going off roading in rough trails and bumpy terrain. If they're too loose they're going to fly off your head once you hit too hard of a bump. They're not Sony's for daily strolling/gym sessions. The speakers and mic are just like the ones they use in the helmet kits, which is excellent. They also cut out an absurd amount of noise around you, which I thought was crazy. Definitely recommend. P.S. These and the "ORV" version are literally the exact same thing, just uses a different box. I don't know why they have the ORV edition listed at such higher price.

I've used several different brands over the years the Cardos are hands down the best I've ever used..Quality and attention to detail is over the top ease of use is very much intuitive EZPZ! Sound is great but it's JBL clarity wouldn't expect anything less highly recommend these guys for sure and to make things even better there on sale..Gettcha Some!

So far they work great, you can talk to, listen to music, answer phone while riding in you side by side which was impossible before. The only drawback is that they are not cheap.

TL;DR - I wanted to like these but in the end I had to return them. These were going to be worn for a minimum of 6-8 hours per day while driving a support van for a group of adventure bike riders destined for Prudhoe Bay, AK. If they could sort out the vice like grip, make them slightly less chunky, and add ANC I'd buy them again. In the meantime I'm going to see about 3D printing an adapter for my Sony XM5's to attach the half-helmet kit. *Pros* • Decent audio quality • Good boom mic flexibility/functionality • Decent value for the money (headphones only, I already had the Cardo Packtalk Edge) • Very sturdy build *Cons* • Just WAY too tight on my average size head (7 3/8 ball cap size). It immediately felt tight, and I've worn enough over the ears to know it was only going to get worse with duration. I understand the reasoning, if you're banging around in a side-by-side these need to stay put, but for me in a regular vehicle it was WAY too much. • They felt much heavier on my head than my Sony XM5's even though they only registered 10 grams heavier (without the Cardo unit attached). Might be attributed to band comfort. • These things are CHUNKY and felt much bigger than my XM5's. Great for durability but I felt like I was always banging/bumping them much more than any other set of headphones I've owned. • No ANC. This was the final nail in the coffin for me. While they had decent passive noise blockage I've gotten so used to having ANC on everything that I own that these just didn't feel very quiet. Driving in the van there was a massive difference between these and my XM5's that are very effective at eliminating the low-frequency ambient hum that you hear with passive OTE's.

It’s an easy option that functions well. A nice addition to my UTV which can be loud enough to make cabin conversations difficult. The headphones do seem tight but not impossible to wear for an hour or two. The Bluetooth features seem fussy. And when you turn them on you get told to connect to the app. This isn’t necessary to use as an intercom. There is about a 1/4 second delay in voice. You only notice when looking at each other while talking. I suspect that delay is part why they opted not to provide any sidetone (hearing your own voice through the headset). This would make conversation more natural but not critical. The biggest issue is the price of admission. A pair is just under a grand but you really aren’t getting that much technology out of them. And if you need more than that the benefits do not triple. I wish I could find a simpler solution that costs less but there really aren’t better options. Pros -excellent battery life -good voice quality -well built -good range -possibly the easiest solution available Cons -expensive -a fair amount of delay in voice communication -non-intuitive controls (need to keep your manual handy) -no sidetone of your own voice, so conversation doesn’t sound as natural

Excellent customer service from Cardo. I had issues getting them synced, not the best direction online YouTube. I was ready to through them in the trash. After 10min on the phone with Cardo Customer Service I was up and running with everything working as advertised. They sound great, the wife and I can listen to the same music or have them synced to a 2nd device and she can listen to her own music, and we can still talk with each other. Thank you, Cardo Custer Service, Great product and Excellent Customer Service.

I have used these on several rides over the past few months. The batteries last all day (10 hours plus). They reduce the noise from my Rzr almost completely, and the music sounds great. Easy to use, easy to pair to android. Easy to clean after very dusty, rides.

Très bon produit, conforme à mes attentes, bonne liaison au cardo et au tel en Bluetooth. Enfin un casque qui tient bien sur la tète!

I bought a packtalk edge and decided to buy these for when I am at home and dont want to be tethered to my PC or phone for music. The build quality is what you would expect from Cardo, and the comfort is REALLY good. The external sound dampening is actually really impressive. They function exactly like the cardo does when attached to your helmet, including being able to either use it with or without the boom microphone included with them. There is no real setup, just put your cardo onto the cradle and away you go. Price wise they are a little pricey compared to say a normal set of headphones, but to be able to just switch from my helmet audio, straight to these when I get home with almost no interruption is really nice. If your Edge connects fine, then think of these as just an extension.

Ich habe dieses Headset für das Cardo Packtalk-System für meine Freundin gekauft, und es funktioniert absolut einwandfrei. Sie nutzt es, wenn wir nicht mit dem Motorrad unterwegs sind – zum Beispiel beim Spazierengehen, im Training oder einfach zum Testen – und wir sind wirklich begeistert. Verbindung & Einrichtung: Die Kopplung mit dem Cardo Packtalk ging sofort und ohne Probleme. Es funktioniert genauso wie ein normales Helm-Setup, aber eben ohne Helm. Auch die Reichweite ist stark – selbst wenn man nicht in Sichtweite ist, bleibt die Verbindung stabil. Tragekomfort: Das Headset ist leicht, angenehm zu tragen und auch bei längerer Nutzung sehr bequem. Die Ohrpolster sind weich und das Kopfband sitzt sicher, ohne zu drücken. Es wirkt gut verarbeitet und stabil, aber nicht klobig. Klangqualität: Die Sprachqualität ist auf beiden Seiten hervorragend – genauso klar wie beim Einsatz im Helm. Ideal für Gespräche während des Gehens, beim Skifahren oder im Training, z. B. als Offroad- oder Fahrtrainer. Das Mikrofon nimmt die Stimme gut auf und blendet Umgebungsgeräusche weitgehend aus. Akkunutzung: Da das Packtalk-Gerät weiterhin für Strom sorgt, braucht das Headset selbst keinen Akku. Man muss also nichts zusätzlich laden – sehr praktisch! Fazit: Wer sein Cardo-System auch außerhalb des Helms nutzen will – sei es beim Sport, im Alltag oder als Trainer – bekommt mit diesem Headset eine perfekte Lösung. Einfach anschließen, loslegen, klare Kommunikation – absolut empfehlenswert für alle, die mehr aus ihrem Cardo rausholen wollen.

Einfach geil, Super Klang Akku hält genauso gut wie wenn es am Helm ist die Kopfhörer ziehen nicht so viel Strom wie anfangs befürchtet? Bequem auch bei längerem Gebrauch sehr gutes Preis Leistungs Verhältnis Und die mitgelieferte Tasche ist unersetzbar

Einfach genial und funktioniert einwandfrei. Ein wenig eng am Anfang, aber muss auch erstmal eingetragen werden. Ich auf dem Motorrad und mein bester Freund mit dem Kopfhörer in seinem Auto hinter mir funktioniert und keiner kann sich über die Qualität beschweren. Verdiente 5 Sterne.
