Pros and cons

According to our motorcycle headset expert

You can stay in contact with 15 other riders or passengers up to 8000m away.
Thanks to the 8000m range, you can also stay in contact if you lose track of each other on the go.
Noise suppression and noise cancelling make sure you can listen to music or have a phone call without interruptions.
You can't control the headset in Dutch, because the voice control only works in English, German, and French.

Description

The Cardo Packtalk Black is a motorcycle headset to communicate with other riders, listen to music, and to control your navigation system via your voice. You can enjoy high sound quality during your motorcycle ride, thanks to the 45mm JBL speakers with 3 audio profiles. With the DMC function, you can communicate with 15 other motorcycle riders, up to 8km away, even if they use a system of a different brand. The Natural Voice Operation voice control allows you to safely keep both hands on the handlebar. You can control your connected devices like your smartphone or motorcycle navigation system with your voice, without using buttons. A rain storm or puddles are no problem, because the Packtalk is IP67 certified, so it's water and dustproof.

Expensive, bugs and disruptive connection

Smart button combinations for control
Beautiful design
Long lasting bug with Siri (iPhone) controls

I am experiencing problems with controlling Siri (iPhone) through the Packtalk. There is a bug, which has been going on for some time, and makes voice control, in combination with noise reduction, impossible. On Reddit, Apple and Cardo point to each other as the culprit for this problem. Since this is a big selling point, it is very bad that this is still not solved a long time later.

In addition, it is important to realize that the Slim version of the Packtalk at LANG is NOT suitable for all helmets. For my HJC i70, I had to push really hard, with a credit card stuck between the helmet (probably removing some glue) for the Packtalk to fit in between. My Shoei Neotec Splicer 2 is specially made for use with an OTHER headset, so the combination with the Packtalk Slim does not look very nice. The battery on the back is quite loose, the wires are actually just too short and I had to remove a plastic plate on the side of the helmet, so the whole thing doesn't look very nice.

It is very nice to listen to music on the motorcycle, without having a heavy headset on the side, which catches a lot of wind. The sound quality of the microphone is good. I also quite believe the claims that the Packtalk has the best sound quality due to the collaboration with JBL, although it is nothing to write home about yet.

Review is 9,5 out of 10.

Good set with many options.

Works perfectly, you can also make quick selections via the app on your phone and the radio reception is fine!
Assembly is easy in the middle of the video on YouTube, they explain everything perfectly and also how the device works.
Sound is fine through the JBL speakers.
The speakers are not comfortable on your ears after a long ride, but this can be solved by putting speaker cushions over them.

Great set! Quite on the expensive side but well worth your money!
