Helmet Comms ?

Yeah we experience both of those things.

1. if we’re doing something critical then we shield the outside of the mic with a hand to prevent the noise canceling effect.

2. This happens sometimes. Not sure how to fix it. We just kind of wince and move on.

Thanks for putting those hiccups out there.

 

[Naturarbo]

That just sounds too simple LOL!
Any that you have found better than others?

we got motorola tlkr80, cheap sub 100 a pair, reliable, easy to replace, as many as you want can be used, still a 2 way radio

We had some “down time” the other day and I spent some more time messing with settings on the iPhone app. I was able to turn off a setting that was called something along the lines of “intelligent noise cancelling” (My app wont show these settings without my unit connected so I can‘t be exactly sure what it was called).

After 2 days with the intelligent noise cancel setting off the Cardo Packtalks have been much more reliable having a continuous conversation going without audio being inadvertently canceled. The only downside to that now is that when it’s a muggy 94 degrees like yesterday the heavy breathing was coming through on the headsets from everyone else... There are a few more toggles to adjust on the app like the mic sensitivity so we’ll try to find the optimum setting.

Bottom line at this point though, we’d rather have kept our SENA SMH-10’s over these although nobody is accidentally “bumping out” with the bulky volume dial that always disconnected us on the SENA units.

I found the bumping out to be way less tolerable than any of the issues with the Cardo. Especially with how long they take to re-sync

had sense for last 4 years nothing but problems, just put PackTalk bolds on 1 week ago the mesh system is unbelievable and overall are flawless and great range and clarity .

The upgraded version of the SMH10 is the SENA 10s. No big button to accidentally bump you out which is nice.

Can 10S talk to SMH10? What is best SENA for tree work?

I’ve got both in one system and work fine together

Wanted to update anyone who was following for the Cardo Packtalks. We were one click away from returning the Cardos and going back to our SENA SMH-10’s Since figuring out the settings and spending more time with them our crew has been very happy. The battery life and more specifically charging time has been awesome, instant mesh connection works great, and the new favorite has been playing music in the background...
