According to our motorcycle headset expert
With the Cardo Packtalk Edge Single, you can hear the route navigation and talk to other riders. This motorcycle headset has a 1600m range. You can connect it to 2 Bluetooth devices at the same time, like your smartphone or motorcycle navigation. In addition, it's possible to have calls with 15 other riders. You can also listen to the same music or built-in FM radio as your passenger or other riders with the noise-canceling JBL speakers. Thanks to the noise suppression of your microphone, others can even hear you in busy traffic. The Packtalk Edge is dust and waterproof, which allows you to easily ride through the rain. If you often ride with other people, we recommend a duo motorcycle headset.

Satisfied with a "Cardo Scala", but as far as battery life is concerned, it was time for an upgrade after four years. Unfortunately, this "Scala Edge" does not live up to its expectations, and I can place it in the box of bad purchases. The helmet installation is easy and differs little from the other models. Connecting the phone and navigation (Android and TomTom) also went well. However, the trouble starts while driving, almost every fifteen minutes the connection to the navigation or the telephone is lost. Music playing on your phone stops, and half of the time the connect app no longer recognizes your headset, even though the phone is connected again with Bluetooth, with a bit of luck you can get everything connected correctly again by using the headset. turning it off and on a few times. Then music and navigation, if you play music via your phone (or it is paused and you continue playing, a telephone conversation also gives the same result) then with a bit of luck you will just get the next voice prompt from your navigation, after which Even though it is still connected to the headset, no sound is coming through. Connect app: if you have connected the headset to Bluetooth, it is often not recognized by the app. In itself not the biggest problem, restarting the app usually solves this, but unfortunately this problem also applies if the connection is lost while driving, which happens quite often. Voice control: as is known, only in English, but the command "Music on", which you often need if the connection has been lost again and the music has to be started again, results 9 out of 10 times in the execution of "Mute Microphone" or "Radio on". After which you have to try to reverse the unwanted command and try again. The housing is of good quality, but the rubber USB closure does not fit well and often comes loose while driving. The plastic on the holder that you have to press to disconnect the headset feels quite fragile, and I wonder how long it will remain intact. Finally, the JBL speakers, if you quietly sit on the couch at home with your helmet on, there is indeed a difference with the speakers of the "Cardo Scala", but this is not noticeable while driving.

Overall great experience, have not used the MESH network yet but I will try it soon. Listening to music works like a charm via BT, I use TIDAL for music. Speed dial is really quick and calling quality while riding 80km/h is excellent!
Connecting the Edge with the Cardo connect app on android 13 is bugged as of writing (08-05-2023). The app will 9/10 times not find the Edge while it is connected with BT. Luckily I have an android 12 device at home. So make sure you have an android 12 or IOS device at home to be able to update the Edge. Cardo is working on a fix. The Edge will save all the settings you change so you do not need the app open to you all the functions.
I do not often listen to radio as I do not like the amount of ads per hour. But I tried it anyway and found out that the RDS function kicks in way to early. On some channels I could hear the radio loud and clear but it would start looking for a new signal anyway. It starts looking for the next clear signal while I would prefer it just switched to the next saved channel (you can save 8 frequencies in the app). Having 8 frequencies is nice but you as for as I could see you could not change the name so you have to remember which station is on which kHz channel.
Overall great experience and I have no regrets at the moment. I will update the review after I tried the DMC Mesh and BT intercom.

Recently a motorcycle instead of a car for commuting to work. Missed my radio and mobile coverage. This is the perfect solution.
