Electronics » Cardo PackTalk

Looking for other opinions on Cardo units. Four of us bought Cardo PackTalk Bold units; mine failed right out of the box, the other 3 worked but seem to have a 100 yd or meter range. Cardo confirmed it was a defective unit after 4 days of reviewing the data, I returned defective unit and sent the tracking number as requested. It is now 9 days and the replacement has not shipped; is this normal support from Cardo?

Hi
I too now have a Pack Talk Bold, it is their best unit so far.
My previous one, a G9x had battery problems towards the end of the warranty period, cardo replaced no problem.
Which is now over 8 years old and still going.
There was no lockdown at that time

Kind regards lofty

I've been running a Sena 20S for 3 years, but last year bought two more helmets with the Cardo packtalk bolds installed for an event that I was attending with a passenger. They worked flawlessly. The next trip was with my brother who I loaned one of the new helmets so we could communicate. Range seemed to be about 250 yrds. max and he'd drop off. Thing is though, with Cardo, once he was back in range, it automatically reconnected. I though that was great.

I’ve been using the pactalk for about 18 months without issue.

I also have a Cardo Packtalk Bold, and have been satisfied with it for the previously mentioned reasons. The sound quality is better than my old Sena 20S. The only issue I've run into is (when at an intersection or changing lanes) turning my head to the extreme left causes contact between my jacket collar and the Cardo, which tweaks it just enough to interrupt the contacts of the unit, causing a very brief drop. The Sena never did this, due to the more secure mounting .Only noticeable when I'm streaming music.
