According to our motorcycle headset expert
The Cardo Scala Rider Packtalk Slim JBL is a motorcycle intercom with which you're fully equipped during your motorcycle ride. You can communicate with your passenger and up to 15 other riders in a group. Thanks to the mesh network, you can keep uninterrupted contact with others within 8000m. You can connect with a motorcycle navigation system and your smartphone for music and making phone calls at the same time via Bluetooth 4.1. In addition, the Packtalk Slim has a built-in radio with 6 presets. Thanks to noise canceling and noise suppression, you can clearly understand each other, even with lots of background noise.

Functionality
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.

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