In-helmet music options

[al0vely]

How is the music quality with Cardos ... unless you have not received them yet. Is there a way to shuffle songs on your phone while it is playing downloaded music, without using the phone itself?

I will receive my Cardo on Thursday and will use it on Friday. I stream music from my phone and have no music stored on my phone. I have some music on a flash drive ... not sure if I would ever use it though.

With Cardo, if you have your iTunes set to shuffle and a song comes on that you want to skip you just say "hey Cardo nest track" and it moves on. The sound quality is head and shoulders above Sena. The JBLs actually deliver Bass lines in the songs.

Until Cardo/JBL release their specs, I'll stick with my UClear digitals in my Sena. Nice specs at half the cost ... https://www.ucleardigital.com/shop/helmet-audio/powersports/pulse-helmet-speakers/

For those of you using the Cardo Pack Talk Bold (or Packtalk Slim or Freecom 4+) with an iPhone, are you pairing the Cardo with the Spyder or just with the iPhone? Some of the comments make it sound like the pairing is just between helmet and phone, in which case you aren't using the Spyder joystick at all, right? And of course no BRP Connect with that setup.

I'm trying to decide which setup to go with as I"m very unhappy with the sound quality of my current rig (BMW Motorrad Communication System).

I have a 2016 F3L - I am connecting directly from the phone to the Cardo system - no BRP connect on my Spyder.

Thanks alOvely, that makes sense. Are you also able to take a phone call with your helmet-to-phone configuration?

These bluetooth systems all have advantages, but you have to pay money to get them.
You don't need to make it so complicated or expensive. Just wear earbuds and plug them into your phone.

If you want to get fancy, get some custom fitted earbuds
