There has been lots of recent comparisons done of communicators. Cardio Pac Talk is top dog by a mile over everyone else at the moment and perhaps the last year or two. Traditional older communication devices like the Sena 10-20 and Chatter box models are just about obsolete with the industry shifting to mesh networks and voice control integration with phones. Such is the advancement of technology. That said the Pac Talk makes my Sena 10 look like a stone tool in comparison of performance and features. Sena had the hot product in this category 5 years ago but now they may not even survive as a company in the marketplace. Sena's recently released model 30 cannot compete with the Pac Talk on performance or features but is priced higher, expect to see these priced at 50% off by retailers in a few months.

Basically if you want to talk to friends Pac Talk is pretty much the only option if you want to avoid obsolesce. But if you just want to use your phone then an older Sena will do the trick as will many other models for under $100.

thanks, i was actually looking into the Cardo systems, i was hoping that i could just slip it into that port but guess not. My buddy has been using the Cardo system for the past several years and just bought the new Freedom 1 and loves how loud the speakers are compared to his older model. I'm waiting until next week and will probably get one of them as well, not really interested in communicating with other riders as much as listening to music and possibly receiving emergency calls.
