Nice ... thanks
Thank you too!
I watched all your headset videos and they are the best I have seen yet. Thanks. Now I have to decide which one to buy.
Thanks! I appreciate it! I have to say the XGP so far is the best sounding and easiest one to pair to other headsets that I've had
@@Mudslidex1 with the XGP could I listen to music and still hear directions from my GPS ?
@@woodman39 Yes. The music will automatically lower to let the GPS instructions be heard louder. When the GPS stops talking, the music goes back to full volume
@@Mudslidex1 thank you. Sounds like the XGP. Is the one I need to order
I just started shopping for my first comms system and came across this video, so great timing.
Excellent review. Thank you!
Because of your video, I pulled the trigger on the XGP system and installed it in our helmets yesterday. My wife and I like it and it paired just like you demoed.
I’m really impressed, especially for the price.
Thanks again 😊
Glad to hear the video helped and you liked the headsets. So far I'm still enjoying mine and use it almost daily!
Cardo is best if you want premium
@@TheEagle12901 I've tried a couple of them and weren't impressed. The ones with the upgraded JBL's sounded OK. But I personally think they are WAYntoo much money for what they are.
Can you swap the JBL to this system?
Someone needs to test the ridekingz comm system
I’d love to see another review down the road to see how they hold up being more budget oriented
Thanks. I'm actually planning on it. I still love this headset and used it on a group ride this past weekend with some guys that hard Cardo units. Although it worked and I paired with them, my sound quality wasn't as good as theirs as it uses the universal Bluetooth pairing compared to Cardo using their DMC mesh network.
@@Mudslidex1 thank you for the review. After pondering a bit I decided to buy the same headset🙏
I have the pair. One thing i noticed, When you share music you can’t hear orr it wont sound if you try to talk as well on both Besides that, everything is perfectly good
So does the communication work with them together or no?
Hi, I wanted to order them from amazon but they were out of stock on the US amazon, they only have them in stock on the canadian amazon. But the thing is that I am from Europe (Slovenia) and they dont ship to my country. So I just wanted to ask if you meybe know if this brand has its own site or meybe another place to buy them. Thanks!
Will work on a half helmet
I really wish you would have showed where exactly you landed the speakers. I still don't really have a great idea how far or how close to directly under my ears they should go.
Does the XGP have the same problem as the $30 one you tested? (edit) .. OOPS... I'm referring to the android voice command.
Thanks for the review. Just wanted something to connect to the GPS.
Interesting
interesting to say the lease
I'm looking to get an intercom style BT headset for my helmet as a buddy and I will start riding more once it permanently warms up here this spring. I'm new to how these work;
-Do these function as a PTT or is it a constant "open-mic" function?
-Can you have comms layered over music or is the comms a seperate channel? If yes, is it one size fits all volume adjustment?
-After a connection, if you push the intercom button, does it simply mute you or disconnect the link? And does the other user get notified? How do you reestablish a connection if they turn off as well?
They are not PTT but open channel communications. Once you open the channel and establish the connection, everyone is on and can talk at once. You can always mute your mic if you don't want to be heard using the mute button, and you can even drop out of the conversation by hitting the intercom button again. If you want to join back in, you hit the intercom button again and it joins the party again (most of the time). Usually you and the other riders hear a chime when someone joins back in. Sometimes they can be a little finicky if you drop out and then try to jump back in. But usually once you establish the communication between the other riders and pair up, they usually will connect right up again even after being powered off if you stop for a break and get a bite to eat etc... Once you get back on the bikes you can power them back up and hit the intercom button again and usually they all pair up again. Also if you trail behind during a ride far enough and get disconnected, they usually will reconnect on their own as soon as your back in range with the other riders. As for music, it's either one or the other. You can listen to music or do intercom. Some models will even allow you to share your music with another rider with the same make/model headset. But I haven't seen any headset yet that allows you to listen to music and speak at the same time. Hope this information helps
Anybody knows if we can connect another usb-c earbuds and mic? I would like to fit that unit on my e-bike helmet..
I cannot get Google Assistant to hear me through the mic. Every time I get GA to open, I believe it is only hearing me directly through the phone. If I click 2x on the pwr button, as directed in the manual, it brings up Bixby.
Thanks for video. I do have one question, will they automatically reconnect if one rider goes temporally out of range?
I have yet to test that. Actually that's a great question and curious myself. I'll make sure to test this out and get back to you
Any update ??
Yes, they will.
Great to see a fellow Long Islander on the "Tube". Would you know if you can connect to a GoPro with the intercom? I'm looking to get into MotoVlogging, and would like to be able to record conversations with another rider while on the road.
Thanks
Always happy to meet another Islander!! As for recording a motovlog with another rider, the easiest way I found so far is with the Cardo Packtalk Edge. It allows you to record the intercom directly to your phone over bluetooth. It works really well, but you then have to sync your video/audio track. There are other ways to do it with cables and splitters, but it's a pain and you end up with a rats nest of wires in your helmet.
I believe I saw the one with the splitter. Not sure if it was the Cardo or Sena split into a GoPro.
I just can’t justify the $200 price tag for 1 device.
Thank you for the awesome video, my wife is going to start riding with me as a passenger and I’m buying her riding gear now . I love the price of this .
Any ways my question for you is I’m buying this to communicate with her while we ride together , 1. will we constantly hear wind in each others ears while it’s on intercom mode ? ,
2. There is a mute button Aswell ?,
3. Is it easy to press the mute button without beeing distracted driving ?
I want to talk to her and give her a safe heads up when stopping, turning and sightseeing .
Thank you again hope to hear from you soon
The noise cancellation is really good and you shouldn’t hear wind noise. That also depends on the helmets. Open face helmets you may get some wind noise but full faced helmet none. Even if open faced, the cancellation works really well. Plus you have a mute button if you wish to mute the mic. All controls were easy to use but it will also depend on the thickness/bulkiness of your gloves
Awesome information !
Ride safe my friend ✌️
@@joelbalchand9174 Thanks. You too!
Hi brother hope your day is going well
Another question i just got the head set but it don’t work with voice command like Siri or any thing, does your work voice prompt ?
how many can it connect to at a time?
Can you hear Nav instructions while talk channels are open? Basically does it multi task a bit?
No, its a piece of shit. I couldn't hear anything over 45mph
Is the audio clear or do they sound like cheap earphones you could buy at dollar tree?
They sound like shit....When you can actually hear it
How was the microphone? I use an open face. Would like to know.
I am curious as well.
How many can be paired together?
It only supports up to 2 riders.
Can you link more than 2 of them together?
Unfortunately it only supports up to 2 at a time.
@@Mudslidex1 well dang. Usually we have anywhere from 4-10 of us in a group when we ride in the woods.
@@Limitlessmattmx You may want to look into Fodsports. I mean Cardo Packtalk Edge is great for big groups but they are expensive. I've reviewed a couple of Fodsports and have been very impressed with the price and performance. Check out the Fodsports M1S Pro. It supports up to 8 riders. amzn.to/4aIR4Yg
@@Mudslidex1 I was looking at the Cardo ones before I seen these. I will definitely look into the Fodsports one. Appreciate your help man!
