Wasted my $$ on Cardo Packtalk Bold - just wanted decent sounding Music, but it sounds like ****!

Have just updated from Pack talk bold to Pro, the increase to 45mm speakers does improve the sound quality bur they are all pricey.

I bought two sets of the 45mm's to put in two helmets that have larger speaker pockets. Although not much louder, they do provide a fuller, richer sound. Many Cardo stuff is on sale now. They do have sales several times a year.

I've tried a few different types of ear buds and haven't found a set yet that blocks out enough windnoise to allow me to hear. I've tried multiple helmets as well with no luck. Having small ear holes isn't a great thing neither, fat head with small earholes is not a good combo LOL.
I like the look of those djh3, brand?


Do you find they protrude too far into the helmet pressing into the ear?

The monitors also come with several different silicone/rubber ends. Also I used to work at race tracks a bunch, and for our radios we had custom molded ear pieces for the radio. So I looked up on you tube and sure enough there were video's on how to make these also custom fit. I don't find them to stick out as far as traditional ear buds, and certainly not as far as the foam type in-ear buds. As for brand, I have no idea, I think I did go with something with Bass Boost. ZSN-Pro I just went out and looked. $25 bucks. I have thought about maybe upgrading.

Thanks djh3, I just ordered a pair, I'll report back when they arrive on how they work.

When I'm wearing my half helmet, I use wired ear buds. Great sound.

It's no so much the sound (I'm not an audiophile by any stretch LOL) it's blocking the windnoise so I can hear the music that I'm after. I was contemplating a higher windshield but I've heard people say there's a chance of breaking the mounts and as a second, I don't really like the look of a higher one.
My Voyager, I would just use a skid lid and foam earplugs and could hear the actual radio without problem. I'd listen to the news on the radio on the way to work in the mornings (when I was still working).
