I don't have a sena, but talking and music at the same time works on the Cardo, or in my case the LS2 Cardo 4x, because of dual channel bluetooth. If you have it, then it will work, if not then it will switch back and forth because it can only do one thing at a time. For me the LS2 Advant X (carbon) bluetooth is a superior system overall compared to the Shoei. I would recommend people actually go somewhere, try them on, and use them because there is really no comparison. The quality if the LS2 is just superior. Just on the sound alone, if I take a call on the highway, the person on the other end of the call, which I answer by saying Answer, cannot even tell that I am riding.

Excellent review, thank you. You need to watch the movie "My Fair Lady", the rain in Spain....

Sod the intercom. Does the chin strap suck?

@Rob801 Ай бұрын

I had the sena in my Neotech 2... didn't last. Now have a Cardo Packtalk (second helmet kit) installed. It's doable. I thought I was going to pull the trigger on a 3 today but the sun visor hit the tip of my nose... anyone know it it would be possible to sand a couple mm of the center indent/curve away without damaging the sun visor? Not being able to use the visor fully down is a deal breaker for me.

for windnoise there is supposed to be a little mouche thing over the mic, isn't there?

@Drobium77 5 ай бұрын

yes, I've got the Sena Impulse lid, which uses the same mic/audio unit (Harman/Kardon) and it has a little sock which goes over the mic to stop wind noise. And I've been told there is zero wind noise even up to 80 mph

Are all modulars issue with mics and cameras, i want to get insta 360 x3 , would it fit? Is tbe schuberit or hjc better option

@infinitymoto 4 ай бұрын

There's nearly always a workaround. Depending on what helmet. The Neotec has areas where you can install non-native coms it's just going to be at a slightly different angle or position on the lid. Let me know the set up you're thinking and I'll try find a solution

Great review - what colour is your helmet? Would you choose the same colour again bearing in mind it easily obtained scuff marks??

@infinitymoto 4 ай бұрын

Its the Anthracite Colour and yes I would it mostly down to be being relatively clumsy and it's not noticeable to others it's just one of those things you as the owner notices more.

I’ve struggled maintaining contact Cardo Edge to Sena . Maybe setup incorrect : it would be helpful if you could show how you paired the two units ?

@infinitymoto 4 ай бұрын

Sure thing will try and get that out for you! Could I know which Sena unit you were trying to pair with? Sena SRL3?

@GrinningGser 4 ай бұрын

@@infinitymoto hi , the struggle is with Sena SC2. Initial pairing achieved , but shortly after I could not “open intercom” with SC2 . However SC2 could communicate to me .

Great review thanks. 😃👍 Shoei do different sized padding for the helmet so it can be properly fitted. We're you not able to do that?

@infinitymoto 14 күн бұрын

It was a tricky one tried different padding options but it was always a little bit off had to get it custom done for my 'odd shaped head' according to the guys who did it 😂

Is the pinlock still as bad as the neotec 2? Literally cant ride it in the rain without fliiping the visor halfway up.

@infinitymoto 6 ай бұрын

The pinlock held out really well, the huge test to see whether they worked was when we went across the North of Spain (South of France) where it was mostly foggy and damp, and no issues at all.

@hiddendragon415 6 ай бұрын

I never had a problem with the Neotec 2 pinlock in rain or cold. It's not a dodgy pinlock like Schuebeth used some years back. Maybe yours wasn't sealed correctly.

Same hear. My Neotech 2 is six years old and recently retired, but I never had an issue.

@michaellydon6374 4 ай бұрын

@@laughwithoutsmiling its really noisy worse than my syncrotec and open face ,the sun visor is crap I still have to wear shades under it and the straps are hopeless one side is two short and keeps coming out of its cover and I’ve found the vents are not as good as my ten year old syncrotec, I wish I had bought the c5 or the neotec 2 which was a great lid , it also sits to high on your head so you have to spend more money on a smaller inner ,the only redeeming feature is the intercom Witch is brilliant
