New for summer 2024 is Cardo Systems Packtalk Pro wireless Bluetooth communicator. Designed to mount easily on the side of a full-face motorcycle helmet, the Packtalk Pro device allows riders to communicate and manipulate features of their iOS- or Android-powered smartphones. The Packtalk Pro device stands atop the Israeli company’s communicator lineup (including the recently released 2022 Packtalk Edge) and is engineered for folks seeking the most premium communication experience. Here are the top five features of Cardo Systems’ new Packtalk Pro Bluetooth communicator.
- This Packtalk Pro now has automatic power on/off. So when you put the helmet on, the unit automatically turns on. And when you set the helmet down, it automatically powers off.
- This is a big one: We have crash detection. Helmet-mounted crash detection. That’s right, an IMU chip inside this Pack Talk Pro gives this device situational awareness. If you get in an accident, the device automatically communicates with Cardo Systems’ cloud system and will alert a family member or loved one that you’ve had an accident.
- We have giant 45mm (1.77 inch) diameter JBL speakers (read the Inside JBL’s Partnership With Cardo Systems article). These speakers need to be heard to believe. The audio quality is phenomenal.
- As always, this Bluetooth communicator is super easy to mount on any type of motorcycle helmet. It’s also easy to pair with your Android or iOS smartphone. We have a new black color, and it continues to be water-resistant, so you can ride in the rain.
- If you’re looking for the most premium Bluetooth communicator on the market that has excellent sound quality and a rich feature set, you should check out this $460 Packtalk Pro. It came out July 7, 2024.
