I can attest to the cardo edge being waterproof. I got caught in rain for 1 hour before it stopped raining. I was so concerned about my edge being in the rain but I was on a phone call. It still works as flawless as when I first bought it. They are expensive but 100% functional and very reliable. Crystal clear communication and some people don’t believe me when I tell them I’m on the freeway talking to them. Because it’s so quiet on their end which is so crazy they work that well in all that wind.

Best review on YouTube. It's unbelievable to me that other reviews didn't call out the USB issues you call out here.

Dude, I had no idea that the way the Neo mounts, you also need to plug in a usb-c cable in every time. The fact that it would just hang there without the device, is a HUGE design flaw in my opinion. I was going to buy the Neo until I heard about this. Guess, I will stick with the Bold for now.

Just found your channel today and love it I'm already five videos in. Keep up the great work thanks.

budget intercom at $350 - WTF...
I guess I am doing something really wrong if I consider this as really expensive....

[Andy-tech]

I think the neo is not a winner, esthetic it’s a mess. The edge is still not looking good on your helmet, but compare to sena coms with mesh.. it is a beauty😅

I think Cardo is a much better choice because cardo mounts and unit are slimmer and the unit should be waterproof. I live in holland.

The magnet 🧲 is nice :) and no more antennas who need to be pulled out.

JBL sound in the cardo is good. Maybe the Harman Kardon in the top models of Sena coms can deliver better sound quality. I think music in a helmet is still poor with earplugs in 😅..

So I am happy with my cardo packtalk edge in a shoei nxr 2

I cannot fathom paying any extra amount of money for an edge the usb isn’t a problem at all. You literally just take it out to charge and put it back on your helmet when you go for a ride. When are you ever trying to mount it with your helmet already on and when are you ever riding around with it not mounted and even if you are tucking away the cable is worth saving 50 dollars.

Just bought the Edge for fathers day for under 300.

That dangling USB cable would annoy me too much. It seems so stupid they don't join the cable to the piece that is always stuck to your helmet.

My Packtalk edge just stop working one day, I, wat to get support from cardo but it was impossible

[joshuapador]

Is packtalk bold compatible with packtalk neo?

[MOTOJendays]

If I wanted to buy a new battery for my edge. How would I go about doing so? A replacement battery is publicly available?

What about the quality of JBL Bold speakers with Edge / Neo, is it the same or better Edge / Neo?

[soulslaveone]

To me, Cardo is total bs. Had a couple of them and regretting buying them both...Instead: - Get a pair of bluetooth earbuds and a small handlebar-remote to your smartphone = a hundred times better than any cardo...for half the price... AND no more speakers in the helmet, witch is a stupid solution regarding sound quality (even the jbl`s suck) and overall high volume. (High volume needed to overpower windnoise when using helmet speakers)
