Cardo Packtalk Custom Headset - Single

A new communications device has been released by Cardo. The Packtalk Custom offers different features on a subscription-based model.

Cardo’s release of its new Packtalk Custom comes around one year after the top-of-the-range Packtalk Edge launched last year, but the Custom is arguably a more important product than the Edge.

This is not because of out-and-out technology, but because of its use of subscription-based features, which marks a diversion from the expected way in which communications products (among many others, of course) are sold. 

There are also base features, which require no subscription. These are: 

• Second-generation Dynamic Mesh Communication
• Waterproof IP67
• Connect with up to 15 riders with up to a 1.6K rider-to-rider range
• 40mm HD speakers
• Over-The-Air software updates eliminates the need for cables or WiFi adapters
• Bluetooth 5.2 Technology
• 13 hours talk time with fast charging (20-mins provides 2-hours of talk time)
• 2-Year Warranty
• Cardo’s subscription service offers three levels, with higher subscription costs of course ‘unlocking’ a greater number of features. 
• The lowest level is ‘Silver’.  In the Silver package, users get access to:
  • Music sharing
  • 3 audio profiles
  • Speed dial
• In the middle is ‘Gold’. In the Gold package, users get access to the Silver features, plus the following:
  • Universal Bluetooth intercom
  • Bluetooth bridge
  • The ability to connect to a second device
  • Music sharing
  • 3 audio profiles
  • Speed dial
