I install the Cardo JBL speakers and record what they sound like (with my cameras audio) to see if we can tell a difference. The JBL speakers are louder for sure, and when I put the helmet on, there seems to be more base coming through. You can also pick a sound profile by scanning the QR code in the package that comes with them to customize the speakers even further.

I recommend the Packtalk Bold with the JBL speakers (they come with the unit by default. It sound so good!)
Check out my riding with music video: ua-cam.com/video/nNV9t-WVTbo/v-deo.html
You did a excellent job showcasing the difference. The other videos I watch the speakers sounded the same. But inside the helmet did the justice it needed. Thank you much👍
Thanks for actually playing side by side audio!
I enjoyed how you did the comparison. The clarity from JBL speakers was so much noticeable. Great review 👍
Glad it was useful!
I was just looking for this comparison, love your playlists too, thanks.
Nice comparo: I've been using Cardo's Packtalk Slim in my HJC RPHA 70 ST for about two years, and upgraded to the 45mm JBL speakers a bit under a year ago (pretty much the moment they were available). The stock speakers were decent, but the JBLs were/are a noticeable improvement. Earplugs can diminish things somewhat, but I only wear them on longer rides where preserving hearing trumps everything else.
Thanks for the review. My Packtalk speakers are not loud enough and was considering buying the JBL’s.
Hi Lali, this was a great video, the way you did the side by side was clever as we have a very short audio memory. My take, the cardio sounded thinner, like a suck out, the JBL sounded more dynamic with more lower frequencies, and more spacial, like moving nearer to the centre of the orchestra, a definite improvement. Only problem, after this video, they're going to be of stock!! Showing us more of your brilliant talents.
Haha thanks for all the nice comments you've been leaving on my videos! And yeah you're right, the JBL ones sound "deeper" more dynamic than the regular ones...thinner is a good way to describe thr regular ones sound
Thanks for this! super excited just got some new gear, a new helmet, and a cardo with JBL upgrade super late on this and right before winter 😞 but I'll still excited lol
Nice video!
I am pretty interested in the JBL speakers because I have the older paktalk with the standard speakers. This helps to decide if I'd wanna spend the extra coin to upgrade.
Take care ride safe!
Wooohoo!!! New lali vid , its gonna be a good day!
Hi Lali, this is just a quick update on my previous comment. The differences i heard were from my PC. Listening through my audio system shows up the huge difference, with the Cardo, the sound is confined to the TV like monophonic, the JBL sounds twice the volume with beautiful a treble and a wide sound field coming from the space beyond my Dali speakers. ( no relation)
Upload more frequently. I loved this video!
Awesome ! You are pretty good giving the review.. should add more how difficult install it to pista helmet?😁
Lali, nice review. I will like to see more comparison like these. Maybe cheap vs expensive or a comparison between a few brands.
Thanls for this video Lali, I was also thinking of an upgrade, I use the packtalk slim btw. But I use the 32mm speakers cuz the 40mm regualrs were too big or didn’t feel comfortable for my ears. So these jbl’s are even bigger. I didn’t find any jbl speakers in 32mm, however I think you need the extra size to provide that additional bass and volume
I have the freecom 4+ and the JBL speakers sound great. More importantly is the installation of those speakers when you put your helmet on make sure your finger is inside the helmet pointing and marking out where the center of your ear is with your head in the helmet already and make sure that JBL speaker is mounted directly to the center of your ear. You will have your most volume, best sound and you will be able to here at high speeds with no problem at all.
dude that comparison was very unique and effective good shit
nice comparison. Clearly I can make out the difference. Saw your video for the first time honestly, and I loved they way you deliver, in a little comic way. And.... loved your accent :P. Started following you on insta, and subscribed to your channel as well... :)
Thank youuu ❤️
I’m sold! Thank you I’ve been looking for ways to listen to music 🎶 while riding
Gracias, la mejor comparativa que he escuchado, besos desde Spain oleeeeee!!!!
Can definitely hear the bass pop a bit more on those JBL's! Also, I believe there are adapters for 3.5mm for phones that no longer have the headphone jack xD (Reason I bought an LG V60.. couldn't give that up). Thanks for the video.
Listening to the direct comparison through my Sony headphones I could really hear a difference in volume and quality, thanks 👍🏻
Great video. I also have the Cardo Packtalk Bold and I use earplugs so was disappointed how quiet it was. I mean it is to be expected and still able to listen to my music but louder speakers would be a welcome.
You should disable autovolume function and restart device.
Dang it, you really really fit! ;)
I wasn't sure if I really needed to change my regular speakers, since I wasn't sure if the difference between the speaker systems was that big and if it would justify the price of the JBL speakers but your review really changed my mind on that point!
Thx for that nice vid and for your cool channel! subscribed :)
Glad to be able to help. Btw I think now, all their units from Freecom 4 and above come with JBL by default
@@AntiParallali JBL by default, that's a good outcome! shows people are watching.
Nice, glad I’m making the jump from senna to cardo!
Vielen Dank für den Vergleich dieser Lautsprecher, sehr klar und verständlich.
Really great review. I thought the JBL sounded a tad crisper and louder. I use the Sena 20s. Can the JBL work with the Sena?
Really great comparison, the JBL for sure sounded better. Looks like it might be time to upgrade myself lol
thanks for this episode. It's helps me to make my decision towards JBL. Cheers!
listened through them on my monitor speakers and the JBL did have some clarity although only slight, more volume (also slight) that I dont think you would notice at highway speeds with wind noise. If 90 USD is too much for you, keep the old speakers in they are more than enough.
rocking the oneplus 6t! I bought the mclaren edition and love it still!
thank you for your testing
Love your videos 👍🏻
Can't wait till I get my freecom 4+ with jbl speakers 😁
Nice comparison. Thank you.
I have the cardo slimpack with jbl and it sounds good but not sure if its worth the price tag in Canada
Good comparison video, giving enough opportunity to compare I closed me eyes and difference was Clearer, sharper sound from JBL. Like the wave at the camera inside the helmet.
My freecom came with 40mm JBLs i was thinking is if it's even worth it to go up 5mm...
im completely fine with the normal cardo speakers now im getting my first bike next month and wanted to know if i should upgrade
great job !!
You crack me up. LMAO. Love your blog and the videos are always great, and with these type, informative.
Thnx For This Comparison 😘
Hey Lali, hope you are doing good. Is there a way to share my Spotify music with my passenger? I can only share music from my phone but not from other sources
I was just informed that the JBL speakers come with different sound profiles as well that you can access using a QR code that comes with it so that will probably personalize them even further
Where did you find the QR code?
Inside the package that the speakers came in
Said it before and I will say it again...girl you're such a gorgeous lady...and those glasses...holy shit, talk about the sexy secretary look....you're beautiful
Lali where from u
optimistic world Her videos are not in Portugal but she really seems a Portuguese woman, even the way you speak english
Good Afternoon Miss Lali,
As I am deaf in my right ear judging tones is difficult. I like my Cardo system for talking on the phone or chatting with my Lady as we ride. Whether i am wearing my half dome helmet or my full face, Cardo provided extra speakers and microphones for my multiple helmets and except for some wind noise picked up with my Lady's mic (she insists on a half dome helmet) the sound is good enough for both of us. I am impressed that the Cardo can get radio stations when my bike cannot tune one in.
The buttons on the side are getting easier to remember functions. I have no feeling in my right hand so it's a good thing it mounts on the left side of the helmet. My left hand is stupid but learning.
Would Cardo ever consider modifying for handicapped users? I ask because all manufacturers seem to mount on the left. As a disabled Army combat veteran I have friends without left hands that ride and reaching across while riding creates problems!
Thank You and FortNine for the Cardo recommendation. I'm sure those without hearing problems appreciate the JBL speakers.
You are in my prayers
Hoka Hey
nice product lali ! thx for the reviews
@hazzanRider
Hi Lali, thanks for the vid... I just installed PTB on my Neotec ii (oh fun)... had JBLs in the box... but seems there's 45mm JBLs too.. Do you know of any difference between the standard JBLs that come with the PTB v the 45mm? thanks!
There's no difference. The units made after 2019 come automatically with the upgraded JBL speakers
@@AntiParallali Oh wait? I bought mine late December of 2019, they do have the JBL 40mm speakers, are you telling me that the 45's are the same? :O
I currently have the sena smh 10r and when i saw they had jbl speakers, I've been really debating on getting a all new Bluetooth setup. Just cant bring myself to buy a bigger bluetooth setup for my helmet... Already got tooooo much going on on it lol... Would have love to see a side by side comparison with the sena as well
Why can't you use these on your Smh10R?
great review, the JBL definitely sound better. might get one of those seeing as i already have the JBL heaphones for the gym 😅
It is nice to provide this video and attempt to give info for the general public, thank you for that. However, one such video nearly persuaded me not to buy the upgrade as a conclusion was the gain does not justify the price. It actually does, it really does!
The difference between these types of drivers can't be heard this way since these drivers are meant to be on your ears. Normal older speakers (no matter if Cardo, Sena, etc) just have much more pronounced higher frequency tones, while 45mm JBL brings it closer to the proper levels between bass and treble. You need to hear it in proper use to appreciate it.
And then JBL equalizer profiles just give you a little more extra tune to your preference. Hope this opinion helps someone that is on the fence like I was. I really am not sorry I bought it.
Yeah, the JBL are sharper, crisper sound. Thanks for the vid, Lali!
O and great vid!
Thanks! Just wondering if these speakers keep the wind/traffic noise at minimum as i wear ear plugs
I always wear earplugs when I have the speakers going. I don't think the speakers do anything for your wind noise it's the ear plugs that help with wind noise and make the sound from the speakers sound more rich if that makes any sense
Way to pivot and come up with the camera inside the helmet trick. I've never had a com system before and I'm only getting one because now I have kids (last rode 6yrs ago kid free) and it will be good for emergencies. I do like the thought of jamming to tunes while riding and the jbl's are definitely the way to go..
Has anyone fitted these into a Shoei? Wondering if they fit the cut outs
Tyvm
So , cardo spirit hd or sena smh10 ? Opinions ?
I closed my eyes and listened and it was hard to tell the difference. The regular were just a little more tinny sounding and sounded more distant. However, I think the song chosen was poor to show the difference as that song had very little bass and bass is what generally separates one small speaker from another.
Especially when you go from regular to something like JBL, which is remarked as having really good bass
Such a tiny and mid-high end song really doesn't do the comparison justice
I got as well this one with JBL speakers. Because before I had I cellularine tour. And it was voice hear approximately to 130 km/h .I hope now gona he better sound
It definitely will be. I can hear the difference especially with earplugs in
WHAT'S THE THICKNESS OF JBL SPEAKERS PLEASE? ( IN MM )
Thanks
Forgot to tell you JBL speakers alot crisper!😎😎😎
JBL sounded more full and less hollow... Do you wear earplugs whilst listening to music ?
Yeah the green foamy ones I think they have an NRR of 30
@@AntiParallali Cool, i also wear earplugs moldex purafit 7700 green foamy's... might get me some of those speaker then if your still able to hear the music good,Thanks
@@AntiParallali How is the sound quality when you wear earplugs? I'm trying to listen to my dungeons and dragons podcasts on long haul rides. Would I be able to hear and discern everything the speaker is saying?
I am a big audiophile and quality sound is a must for me everywhere from my home theater to the car to even when riding. I’ve always used earbuds when riding (not for home listening) for a couple simple reasons: 1). The design serves as noise isolation; 2) my earbuds also have active noise cancellation; 3) the bass is simply better than small speakers not matter who makes them again because of the fit. So, I’m curious, how do you rate the audio quality of these JBL helmet speakers to a quality set of earbuds? I’m not at all interested in the communication capabilities of the Cardo or Sena units and my BMW connects to my phone so I don’t have to use the receiver attached to the helmet that contributes to wind noise
Lali, might be better to make initial differently physical of reg and jbl.. 👍🏻
I've had both on my packtalk bold in a Schuberth E1 and can't tell a difference really, but I'm an aircraft mechanic so prolly not the best judge of sound quality lol. JBL do seem quieter though.
Can you make my bike fly??
Hi, what's the title of the song you used during the comparison? Thanks
Tropical travelers
These JBL speakers Sound Quality is Decent and Bass is better than previous pactalk version speakers.
Nice video 😃Which earplugs do you ride with ?
I switch between Loop and Pinlock as the brands, whatever I find in the jacket pocket that day 😂
Great review and comparison. By the way, are you using an iPhone? If so, I believe there are adapters for sale that will allow you to connect 3.5m cables.
MotoPappy yes they come with the iphone
Thanks for the clarification. I’m still using one of the ancient iPhones. ;)
No I have the OnePlus6T ...they probably sell adapters for it too, just didn't even think about it until this video 😂
Are you a long time cardo user? what if i leave the intercom for a long period of time? Like 6 months with out any charging? will it have effect on the battery life?
I've never left it quite that long so I couldn't say for certain
How is the voice recognition on yours cause my cardo packtalk slim sucks it listens when it wants to any solution??
I use "okay google" with it and it works 90% of the time. Sometime it is too loud and it can't hear me, but most times it's great
@@AntiParallali nevermind I did a configuration on the cardo app and now it works perfectly fine I just have to use a normal voice and it works even at high speeds wow such a great product
Nice!!!! :)
Just to add. I got them. The different is noticeable below 90kmh. Riding faster it makes no different at all. Pointless upgrade for me
I just got these and accidentally threw away my box and never got the QR code to activate in the app.....if you still have your box could you send me your code? I believe they are a generic code. Thanks
For people fitting any cardo speaker, what you must do is put your helmet on, slide your finger up the inside and find your ear hole, then take your helmet off keeping your finger in the same place and that's where the centre of your speaker goes as close to your ear.
I wear foam earplugs and speed along and can clearly hear a phonecall when the side bird is whispering because her husbands in the shower
Regulars sound like they about to clip at certain freqs.. Thanks for the rough comparison!
Nice I’m actually trying to decide if I want the JBL over the regular speakers. I wear earplugs. Are the JBL speakers really worth it? Is it that much of a difference?
Without earplugs they'll both sound the same when mixed with the wind noise. But with earplugs in, the base comes through more on the JBL
@@AntiParallali Gotcha! And I’m able to upgrade to the JBL speakers later on if I want right?
@@itsmeericb oh yeah they sell them separately. But they also come standard in some units. I think Freecom 4s and all Packtalks already have them installed
@@AntiParallali Okay cool!
I have a Freecom 2 with JBL speackers, and QR DON'T activate any sound profiles. Only Standard profile is available. Regards.
Got the Cardo Freecom 4+, and they’re okay. Can’t hear much at freeway speeds. I think with an amp they could be better. Rather invest the $30 in an amp over the 45mm JBL upgrade.
Can't believe you missed out on the three way.
JBL has more middle to low end sound which is exactly what I am looking for.
Also I didnt know wearing earplugs was a thing 😅
Omg yes please wear earplugs! Don't get tinnitus! Protect those ears
And I know I've already commented but I want to say this too It is so nice to see a beautiful respectful woman dressed respectfully to herself actually be into riding because most biker chicks but I can't say most but a lot of in Tennessee anyway they're not and that's what I always worried me about getting into this well my idea of a biker chick was you know full leather riding a Harley or riding behind on somebody you know riding in the second seat something like that And it's so nice to know that it don't have to be that way I really hope that I can meet someone like you that's in the riding and is as beautiful classy and respectful of herself like you are❤
TBH for me its the profile you get that makes the difference, not the speakers, I unlocked the JLB profile for the stock and the JLB and both are close..It seems to me that the JLB profile u unlock by buying the speakers just allows you to increase the volume,, No Bass on either more like tweeters you would have if you ICE your car out
Can you do a video on how you did your makeup look in your intro? It’s absolutely gorgeous!
Do you wear makeup when you ride?
Sweet♥️
Great video, awesome eyes 😅
JBL hands down all the way for sure
I love music, and I wouldn't mind trying this device, but I wonder how safe it is to listen to music over headphones and to concentrate on riding at the same time I'm not trying to be a downer, but I believe safety is the priority for everyone Everyone stay safe out there and always follow the rules Goodbye and have a great one
Been riding with music and earplugs since I started riding 4 years ago. I can hear important things like ambulances and police, and even my exhaust (heh)
You could get an adapter for the plug in so your phone is compatible
Timely video. I am considering getting either the Cardo Packtalk Bold or Packtalk Slim, both with the JBL option. Do you have experience with the Slim, or only the Bold? Also, thought the highs on the JBLs seemed brighter and crisper than the previous standard speakers. Thanks Lali, cheers.
As far as I can tell, the slim does everything that the bold does, probably a little harder to find/feel buttons on the slim with gloves on
I love the look of the slim, but have decided to go with the Smarth, as it looks the same and is a lot cheaper. I won’t use all of the pack talk functions.
I'm using the Freecom 1+ for calls only, not intercom. I race Go-Karts and I need to have a spotter so I know what's happening, and where everyone is behind me. Will the Cardo Freecom 1+ be good for this? Again, just Bluetooth calls from the phone that's paired with my Freecom, to another phone. It's an indoor track, so you can imagine how minuet the distance is.
Yeah with it you can answer phone calls and make calls. But if you want to hook up to another racer (who also has a bluetooth headset, ..whatever brand) then you need the Freecom 2 at least because it has a bigger range. The Freecom 1 range is just for you and a passenger on the back of your motorcycle, very close proximity
@@AntiParallali OK, I got the Freecom 4+, hopefully it works. The carts themselves aren't that fast, they go tops maybe 10 MPH since it's a F1 style road course. Hopefully I can hear the audio from my spotter well.
@@acecoltoncook2112 yes the freecom4 is even better than the freecom2 so you will be good with it
@@AntiParallali Ok. In the straight, we're going about 40 MPH, will I the spotter hear bad wind noise on the mic?
@@acecoltoncook2112 No. You won't hear any wind noise in a call at any speed
Hey there girlie!!!
Meerkat! Hello!
Can I use it to like talk to people through my phone? And if I can is there much interference between the two people?
Is there instal instructions?
It depends on your own helmet and how you can run the wires under the padding.
@@AntiParallali okay! Thank you for the information! You don’t have to cut into the padding do you?
I agree the JBL Speakers sounded a lot better.
The regulars sounded the best. More range and depth
Cardo ist das beste
Saludos ....
IASUS X Sound 3 beats JBL. Do that comparison.
