Cardo Systems

I just returned from an amazing ski trip in Switzerland and Austria, and I couldn’t be happier with the Packtalk Outdoor! The microphone performs flawlessly, blocking out background noise like wind, and the speakers are incredibly crisp and clear—perfect for chatting with friends while skiing or enjoying music. It honestly feels like I’ve unlocked a whole new level of experience! Huge shoutout to Packtalk for making such an awesome product!

There isn’t an easier to use system on the market. There isn’t one with better range either! Every helmet I own gets setup and it’s invaluable for training or trail direction!

As a family of four (2 kids), we love being able to communicate on the slopes with them. Pointers, advice, speed control and which direction they went has been integral in a more reassuring ski day.
As an introvert, I do find the chatter sometimes get a little overwhelming. They are starting to pay more attention to what they need to communicate and when, and it’s been a much better experience.

I bought a pair for my daughter and I and they've been working great. The noise cancellation is superb as are the speakers for music. My wish would be for a wrist mounted bluetooth controller that can be used with mitts. The tiny buttons and spin controller are unusable without taking my mitts off and are a little small . I haven't tried the voice controls yet but I'd rather a big button controller for a quicker response

Teaching our son how to snowboard was so much easier with Cardo. We could talk to him and help give him instructions on when to carve, using heels or toes it was great! We were surprised how far it worked!!!

I connected these to mine and my daughter’s ski helmet and man what a difference. We were able to chat without shouting to each other. We stopped less to figure out our next move since we could just say where the lead skier was going. It’s nice too because I can offer tips to her when we get to steeper terrain and she can ask for a candy break 😂. These are also great for solo riding so I can put music on without my ear buds. Great product!

First of all, this is an upgrade from Cardo SmartH Duo to Packtalk Neo Duo. Bot me and my son like to ride together so it was a must to be Duo; but when riding with 2 or more friends, Cardo system was always at help.
Installation: easy and simple, took me less than half an hour.
Setup: similar to previous one, through Cardo app. It looks like the Neo offers more features than SmartH unit.
Use: I cant go out and ride now as it is winter, but this one doesnt look so complicate to use. The buttons do the same thing (more or less). The difference (better than SmartH) is that you can detach the unit and charge directly on USB C. On the other unit (SmartH) the charging port was through a mini USB port. Another good thing is that you have OTA on the Neo. Overall, i'm very happy with my choice,

We purchased these for our family of 4 because we planned trips to big mountains resorts this season. Last year snowboarding we seemed to be the family that was always yelling at each other when getting our boards on at the top of the hill to let everyone know where we are going. A few times our youngest misunderstood the directions and end up at a different lift from the rest of the family. Using the Cardos has made it super easy to commutate directions and plans on the hill but even more fun than that we are enjoy chatting and hyping each other up as we ride do tricks/hit jumps all while enjoying our own music! The tech works great!

These are great communicators. Perfect for skiing with kids to keep them on track if they get ahead or behind. Also for pointing cool jumps! It’s also very funny to hear what they talk about while skiing. They are more expensive than a simple FRS Radio but the natural voice 2-way talk is worth it.

I recently bought a pair of Edgephones and tried them out at work, Land Surveying, my partner and I were very happy as we could listen to our own music while working. Very clear communication between us. We did lose each other due to houses and stuff between us when we were more than a block away, so line of site was key. I plan to use them for when I go on my snowcat with my dad, so we can talk over the noise of the engine and on the atv's in the summer.
So far very pleased with the headphones.

We absolutely love these for skiing. My 16 year old son loves them as he can listen to his music while maintaining the intercom connection. We ski a lot in the trees and all over the mountain and being able to stay in contact and confirm direction and location has made skiing so enjoyable for us. It also allows me to scope out jump landing areas and communicate back and just generally chat, joke and laugh while we are skiing together. I plan to buy an extra pair to use when we are skiing with my wife and/or daughter or with friends. Very good sound quality and good range even when out of sight. Very rarely do we lose connection and we’re all over the place taking different lines through the tree areas.

I thought i would give the pack talk a go because I wasn't satisfied with the other high tier helmet coms in my Shoie GT Air2 despite it being made as an oem comm system for this helmet. I trusted the HC speaker to be a good speaker. Boy was I wrong.
Totally disappointed in that system that begins with an S.
My son bought the Cardo and it sounded so much better and was far simpler to operate. So I took the plunge and sold the S system.
So glad I did. The difference is night and day and the sound is awesome 👌. Tha cardo even comes with instalation and set up instructions. Did not get that with the S system. Cardo can also be updated with a USB C. The S required a special dongle. I should have believed Fort 9 review and not taken a chance with S.
Comunicators are not all created equal and the differences are huge.
The only negative is the size. While not huge, if the could find a way to reduce it by a third, that would be outstanding.

There are not a lot of reviews on these units for tree work, I came here just to say WOW how clear they are and how good they are at canceling out the noises from the chipper and chainsaws. A man can be feeding brush in a chipper while another is running a saw and the other is running an excavator and all 3 can be heard clearly without yelling. This product is much better then any other brand on the market and has upped our production tremendously by being able to hear exactly what everyone is saying. They are also super easy to link up without no goofy sequence or extra buttons to push they can be linked up 2 at a time or 4 at a time or even more and one person leaving the group doesn’t effect the others (like other brands)

It was incredible to ski with my wife and be able to easily communicate on directions or coffee breaks!

The sound is very clear and the range between two people is good. When there is a curve or sight is lost, connection starts to break, which has room for improvement.

All in all, best gear investment for this season!

I’ve used my new cardo outdoor dual pack for 3 days and you’ve made a new customer for life!
