Non-Helmet Off-Road Audio: Cardo Edgephones ORV
The Edgephones ORV pairs with a Packtalk Edge ORV for riders and crew who don't wear a helmet. It runs a 40mm JBL speaker driver with NRR15 passive noise reduction, folds flat for storage, and snaps on through the same magnetic Air Mount. Built for coaches, spotters, and side-by-side passengers.
FAQ
It depends on whether you wear a helmet. Riders who wear an ATV or UTV helmet need the Packtalk Edge ORV, which mounts directly to the helmet shell and holds all the electronics. Riders, spotters, or instructors who don't wear a helmet need the Edgephones ORV, a padded headset that snaps to a separate Edge ORV unit through the same magnetic Air Mount. Check the Packtalk Edge ORV page for full specs and pricing, and the Edgephones ORV page to see duo and bundle options for non-helmet setups.
Anyone coordinating a group across open terrain where shouting or hand signals don't reach. ATV and UTV riders use it to stay in contact across a group ride or a work crew. Trail guides and hunting or property management crews use the same setup to relay directions without stopping. Snowmobile riders run the identical Packtalk Edge ORV unit for backcountry runs, since the mesh network and waterproofing hold up in the same cold, wet conditions.
Yes, within limits. The Packtalk Edge ORV runs the same 2nd Generation DMC as Cardo's motorcycle units, so it should mesh with a Packtalk Pro, Edge, or Neo riding alongside it on the trail. The Edgephones ORV is the exception: it only pairs with a Packtalk Edge ORV (or the standard Edge line, per Cardo's compatibility list) through its magnetic mount, not directly with other Cardo units on its own.
