Good review and thanks for taking the time to make it. I was a long time sena user but I just recently gave them the flick and I've converted to Cardo.

My wife and I have moved to the Cardo Edge from Sena . The Cardo is much easier to connect to each other and the wind suppression really works 😂. I can ride with the visor open and she dose not hear the wind noise which I could not do with the Sena .The voice commands are just fantastic. Overall a wonderful system

Nice review, helpful. Been using a pair of Sena 20S EVOs for years, they work well. Many friends now run Cardo, got my Edge yesterday. Seems much louder, looking forward to mounting it trying it out. *Michelin Anakee Adventure and Rotella T-4!🙂

Thanks for posting great review very helpful and no BS

Can a Cardo Edge be adapted to a Cruising Bicycle helmet Thanks for your help

Unless you have the newer Pack Talk Edge, Cardo does not connect to any other bluetooth even using universal pairing. Not even the older Sena's with true universal pairing. I have had zero failures with any of my Sena's which I own 5. That is not the case with my Cardo's. The charging port got ripped out of one of my two Packtalk Bolds and two of my riding buddies four. The new PT Edge uses the USB C. We purchased two Packtalk Edge Duo's for my GF and me for a trip less than a month ago and one unit was dead out of the box. Got that one replaced and went on the trip where one of the other units stared to malfunction. It was like the microphone was bad but everything worked perfect when I put one of the other units in the mount. Then the replacement unit failed to turn on a day later. Thankfully I had bought the warranty and I was able to replace the bad units and everything associated with them for new ones. Bad batch maybe? Time will tell. The PT Edge did connect to the Sena's that the other PT's never could before using the new universal pairing. The Sena's still have a much more robust connection to your phone than Cardo's do. I can leave the phone on the bike and go into the restroom at he back of the store and still be connected to the phone with the Sena's but the Cardo's seem to disconnect before you even make it inside. We usually travel longer distances than you can travel in 13 hours so we have to use two units each. Hence the two Duo's. One of my riding buddies has mastered swapping his PT Bold while underway but the rest of us haven't and swap out units at the next stop. The magnetic connection of the edge makes this easy. I might even practice doing this underway in the future. The Sena units allow you to put them in standby by tapping the jog wheel. Standby greatly extends battery life. Enough that they usually last the entire 18-20 hours of the ride. We do have a second unit if need be. If you need to talk again you simply tap the jog wheel again. We usually put them in standby when we are between towns and have nothing to say and are enjoying the sights. A few years ago I rode 26K miles through all the lower 48 states in just under 3 months in all kinds of weather with the Sena's. This included a week long severe thunderstorm across the Gulf Coast and a Gale driving back from Key West to the mainland at night. Not fun but I had to be in Connecticut in two days. I also have a much cheaper off brand (Lexin B4FHM) for when I ride with my daughter that has never given either one of us any problems and her bike is her only transportation so she rides it everyday to work and back as a minimum. My oldest Sena will connect to these using it's universal pairing but nothing newer until I got the PT Edge. You can see I really don't have a preference. I just grab the helmet that has a compatible unit to whomever I'm riding with that day. If they don't have a unit, I will mount one of my spare units on their helmet.

Thanks interesting video. I am in the process of buying a Sena Spider ST1 as it's cheap and my son in law uses one when he's riding.So what intrigues me is that no one as ever come up with a fix for waterproofing them.Surely there must be a sealant you can use to do that or perhaps you can use a cut a piece of bicycle innertube to wrap it in. There must be a way surely !

Have you tried Sena Mesh? They have Harman Kardon speakers in the mesh system, they actually own JBL. Maybe you pulled out too quick?

Thanks for taking time to share, today 3-17-23 I’m debating but have been leaning towards Cardo only because water resistance . Thanks, Does Cardo make a Harley Version or vice versa?

Sena 50R is waterproof for adventure riding. But it can't be taken off to use on multiple helmets

Used sena for years with no issues. It was an older model that still works but I switched to Cardo recently. I went with their base model HD and it’s good. Sometimes it has issues between my iPhone and the gps but ultimately I’ll probably stay with Cardo. I’ll upgrade it eventually

My Cardo gave away on a ride under the rain for 8 hours :). Then again for the sound quality, I will still go for Cardo.

can cardo 2x cope with a slight curved helmet

If I would upgrade, it would be the Edge. The sound is louder/clearer, waterproof and I love the magnetic mount. Cardo is smart with that patent alone. The unit looks sleeker too. What is really dumb is the lack of joint venture between the 2 companies on the MESH connection. Stupid move!!!

My findings as well! I’m happy with my Cardo. What I DON’T like is that so many helmet companies have gotten into bed with Sena. But, even so, I use a Arai XD4 so no worries there.

Based on using one product from each manufacturer, I reckon Cardo is better value and quality. I've got the Cardo Freecom 2x and the Sena C10 Pro. Can't recommend the C10 Pro at all. Good idea, having the camera and comms in one unit. The reality is that trying to do too many things at once means they're not doing any of them particularly well. Connectivity issues with comms, poor battery life with the camera and you're very limited in where you can mount it too. The Cardo does everything it says it will do, does it well and I only have to charge it once a week, if that. The hard rubber case of the Cardo feels a lot better than the plastic case on the Sena, too. The Sena feels cheap to me, despite costing me nearly double what the Cardo did.

Is there any difference between the 2 for hearing over the engine noise?

I like the cardo jbl speakers water proof. In your opinion what would you suggest for a solo rider ?

The new Sena Quantum mesh systems use Harman Kardon speakers and newly designed microphones, supposedly a huge improvement over the previous versions. Harman is the parent company of JBL Audio. Going to give Sena one more shot before giving up on them. The music audio quality of my Shoei specific SRL2 was very disappointing.

Cardo can connect to Sena but Sena can't connect to Cardo? That doesn't make sense to me.

In Europe sena has upgraded speakers by Harman/Kardon

Liked review. I am looking to buy one or the other. However. Am i missing something............. If Sena does not connect to Other Non Sena but Cardo connects to Sena. Am I missing something here... That by default means Sena has therefore connected to Cardo... 🤔

So wait do you have the edge? I wonder how the edge compares with the new mesh compared to the old mesh system. Sena’s was superior compared to the black iirc but not anymore

Some of us just need a slim waterproof unit giving us the sound from our GPS. I see no reason to pay a hundred dollars for that.

Cardo freedom 4x for connectivity and sound quality

The packtalk neo says it's IP67 rated.

Fodsports - connects to all other brands, waterproof, long battery life, and less than half the price of the others.

Why don't more people use GMRS? I think it has better range and more help when it is very range when calling for help.

Wait, you said Sena won't connect with Cardo but Cardo will connect with Sena..... ???

Bottom line sena seriously need to sort out that waterproof issue, these are made for use outside on a motorcycle! It needs to be ip65 minimum! no ifs or buts 🤷🏻‍♂️

He doesn't know anything about sena I've riding in the rain for for years. No problems you can have intercom with multiple people, you can pair with Cardo also which he said you can't I don't know where he is getting his information but it's false. As far as speakers 🔊 JBL is nice but I prefer HARMON KARDON my self since both my BMW and my Range Rover uses them on top im a producer engineer and we use thier studio monitors also. Both companies have their own priority functions but both are compatible with each other . Example with Cardo you have to connect with phone mode to any other com system but it's own company. Sena does the same but using Bluetooth instead of phone mode so on sena outside of connecting to cardos you can still keep your phone functions

Had Sena 30K Great voice quality and noise cancellation..total shit software and support..F them after 1k in products now with Cardo... easy Peezy

Ummm, thanks for the uhhh video. Ummm, I personally use the uhhhhh Cardo uhmmm. I do have ummmm, quite a bit of ahhhhhh, static ahhhhh, when talking to my ahhhhhh wife on the ummmm, back.
