I used Sena 20S Evo, 10C, and currently Cardo Packtalk Bold/Black.

In terms of Mesh connectivity, Cardo is better, but I guess need to compare it with Sena 30 and 50 which have never been used before. The Apps are also way better than Sena which looks like still running  Java Applet.

In terms of audio quality, Sena is louder, and you can use it with a Jet or Half face helmet without worry, Cardo tends to be softer but has better (slight) bass and you need to really align it with your earlobe to get the best of it.

Thank you brother. Guess I’m opened to cardo neo and sena 50s now. Wondering where could I try them out at least.

Are you sure Cardo really on top of sena in terms of audio?

I only tested my friend's Sena SRL which is supposed to be on the same level as Sena's higher end offerings and wasn't impressed at all with the sound quality especially when compared side by side with a Cardo. Ended up purchasing a Freecom 4+ because it was slimmer and didn't really needed the extra features of the packtalk at that time. My friend who had the SRL on his shoei also ended up switching to the packtalk bold, then now the packtalk edge.

If anyone going for a dual for cardo/sena, I don’t mind sharing.

I already offered myself, or you can also purchase my current freecom 4+ used laugh.gif

Almost forgot cardio has this wind self cancelling feature, so it won't pick up the wind sound while riding. It's useful for open face helmets

Damn I thought the Cardo app was pretty barebones, and the sena is worse?

Regarding the loudness, I find myself hitting max volume at times with my musician's earplugs already, so if you're using a regular earplug, the Cardo might really not be loud enough.

Also can check fortnine reviews on comms, Cardo always comes out on top of sena if not mistaken.

Used to have SRL as well. Now using Cardo Bold.

Plus point for SRL:
1.) seamless design with Shoei helmets without the unit being sticking out.
2.) voice instruction is more responsive even there are lots of noise compared Cardo.

some cheek paddings have peel-able liner, or just shave off some material to fit.

The edge has a magnetic clip on that neo will not have. That’s the only significant different besides edge can be charged whilst in use. Not sure if that’s necessary.

Think the edge might have discount again once neo launches? I’m opened to both but magnetic sounds more convenient. Not like I’ve used either so just saying

I'm using the Cardo Freecom 4+ and the regular clip base is pretty good and convenient already for me. Another difference is less 1yr warranty if not mistaken, at least for the US market. Not sure about our local units.

That's pretty much the most popular price range for entry level jackets, definitely should have. Can try out Furygan brand also, I'm using feels not bad.

Put these two together, and the jacket price will be higher.
Cheap solution just look for those thick packing foam that used to absorb shock one and put in there until can afford RM200 for a CE back protector.

Or a cheap cheap one from china. Claims to be viscous-elastic like D3o.

Use first until can afford a proper CE2 back pad from a branded manufacturer. Still loads better than the useless foam ones that serves as a placeholder only.


I have one. it is very thick, about 15mm. Vents decently. Cons, quite heavy.


Replaced it with this;

Its lighter and ventilates better. But effectivenes is anyones' guess. Paid 85 on discount. Both is from same seller and same brand.
