Cardo Systems

The **Packtalk Edgephones ORV** are a seriously impressive piece of gear for off-road riders who want solid communication without the hassle of in-helmet setups. Built around Cardo’s proven Packtalk Edge unit, these over-ear headphones are purpose-built for dusty, loud, and unpredictable environments—and they deliver.

Right away, the build quality stands out. The headset is sturdy, folds flat for easy storage, and includes thick, replaceable ear cushions that block a good amount of outside noise. The magnetic "Air Mount" for the Edge unit is simple but effective—no clips or snaps to fumble with, even with gloves on. The whole thing feels like it was designed by someone who actually rides in the real world.

Audio quality is surprisingly good. The 40mm JBL speakers are loud and clear, even in a noisy side-by-side or UTV. Voices come through crisp, and music doesn’t sound tinny like it does with some cheaper headsets. The mic works well too—it picks up your voice without amplifying the engine noise or wind, which is key when you’re trying to coordinate on the trail.

The standout feature, though, is the Dynamic Mesh Communication (DMC). It just works. You can ride in and out of range without needing to reconnect, and linking multiple riders takes seconds. It’s a game-changer if you’re used to finicky Bluetooth systems.

Battery life is solid (about 13–14 hours), the app is easy to use, and voice commands make it mostly hands-free. You can even update the firmware over the air, which is a nice touch.

Overall, if you’re looking for a rugged, plug-and-play comms setup for off-roading—whether for recreation or guiding a crew—the Packtalk Edgephones ORV are absolutely worth it. Not cheap, but the quality and ease of use justify the price.

The noise canceling and music share are a game changer for our 4x4 experience. We upgraded from helmet com to the headphones and are beyond happy. Hoppy more in our gang will move up so we can use the group features.

The option to have built in speakers is so much better than having to chase my ear buds every time I take off my helmet. Bought an extra helmet kit for my dirtbike helmet and also enjoy the ability to stay in contact with the group since a lot more chaos can occur in the woods and mountains.

We have purchased other Cardos in the past, but this one does not compare! It is amazing! We can go on group rides and easily link up with 5+ people. If we split up to ride home in different directions, it disconnects automatically after a certain point, dropping you from the call. In addition, listening to someone via phone call has better sound quality and cuts out the street/bike sound on our end. Wish this product was bought sooner in all honesty!

This is such a fantastic product, I'm upset I didn't buy it sooner. This improves my solo riding experience exponentially and almost indescribably when riding with friends. I would recommend cardo products to anyone and everyone!

These are the must have for a Shoei helmet!
This adapter puts the Cardo unit flush with the bottom edge of the helmet, ending the constant catching the unit on your jacket collar, also locating the unit for easier button functions.

After going the cheap route several times and one not so cheap route I bit the bullet and got my wife and I the Packtalk Edge Duo.
All I can say is, the Packtalk Edge is amazing. No fumbling around syncing up. Easy volume control. Excellent recognition of voice commands. Full integration with Siri. My kids went ahead and got them after hearing us rave about it and now we can all ride together with seamless communication. Being able to share music or listen to your own while still being live is so great for us too. Hand signs are great and all but if the trailing rider has an issue, there is no need to hope someone sees you before getting too far ahead, or simply needing to pull over without having to get the attention of the lead rider. Plus numerous other benefits to instantaneous voice communication.
By far the best!

Awesome first ARV use, music, phone, intercom and 2way radio use

I have been riding with the Packtalk Pro for a couple weeks now. It is the easiest system to use. I have tried out a few Sena's and the cheaper Cardo systems. This one is by far the best. Any Cardo product is superior, but the Pro takes the cake. I cannot recommend this system enough. The speakers are very loud and connecting to my fellow riders has never been easier.

What an awesome headset! I haven’t used the intercom feature yet, but I’m sure it’s going to be awesome! The music sound quality is unmatched! I can jam out to my tunes and get lost in the music and the ride! A must have companion during my rides! The super sleek design, magnetic attachment and quick release for recharge are my favorite traits about the headset! Totally worth the price!

I was very impressed with the packaging. Everything was there that you need to install it. For both style helmets, full face or standard. It was super easy to install. And I’m in love with the ease of removing the main module when I go into a business and wanna leave my helmet on the bike. I can take the car unit off and put it in my pocket. And it works phenomenal.

I was looking for a few things for SxS and Snowmobile: Ear protection, communication, the ability to play music, no wires, and multi-sport usage: These provide all the above. The sound is excellent. Set up is a breeze. The batteries last forever. Music sounds great. Best of all: No wires and doesn't cost nearly as much as some overhyped communications systems. Love it.

I absolutely love my Cardo communication system—it has completely transformed my riding experience! The ability to communicate effortlessly with my friends on the trail is a game-changer. We even have our 8year old connected! The sound quality is crystal clear, and the voice commands make it so easy to use without taking my hands off the handlebars. Compared to other brands I’ve tried, Cardo’s range and reliability are unmatched, with no annoying dropouts or static. If you ride with a group or even just want music and GPS directions seamlessly, Cardo is a must-have—I can’t imagine riding without it now!

The Cardo Freecom 4+ is an outstanding motorcycle communication system that delivers exceptional sound quality and comfort. I absolutely love how crisp and clear the audio is, with deep bass and sound that far surpass the Sena Syphon brand. The speakers are not only smaller and more compact but also incredibly comfortable, fitting snugly in my helmet without causing any pressure points. The sound performance is noticeably superior, with better volume and clarity even at high speeds. Plus, the sleek design and user-friendly features make it easy to use. If you’re looking for an upgrade from Sena, the Cardo Freecom 4+ is a fantastic choice—I couldn’t be happier with it!

Best decision we ever made was to buy these radios. 100% worth the price. They make a huge difference with young riders. My son has improved tremendously because of this, we are able to talk to him while training with ease and he asks daily to go ride with the “radio”. Also, it gives you an insight into their thoughts while riding, my youngest (2 years old) speaks out loud while riding and I never knew before but is constantly saying “big jump” or “so fun” or “go fast” and it’s just the best thing ever to get that viewpoint from them.
The radios work great, pretty true to distance capabilities. Magnetic hold is super strong. Sound quality is great.

My only slight upset is with the edgephones, I wish there was an option for a single ear cover, I don’t like that while wearing them I can’t hear what’s going on around me, but with that being said, they have great noise cancellation if that’s what you want.
