If I was buying today... the Cardo Packtalk Bold hands down. That said, I have Sena 20S's and they work well enough.

I have been talking to Sierra Electronics about this same thing. They too told me about the Cardo Packtalk. I have seem them on line for just over $400 for two.

Another vote for Cardo Packtalk Bolds. I love the set we have. They work flawlessly.

It also depends upon what the other riders you want to communicate with use.

Packtalk Bold hands down. Have had Sena in the past, but the Bolds work so much better. Their DMC mesh system works incredibly.

Thanks for starting this thread As I mentioned, we are leaning that way.

Our new bike is home and we hooked up to the wired system, all works well. We did have to turn the vox up a bit to activate the comm. With that, we worry about the wind noise

How is the Cordo with wind noise
