I have an old Sena 10 and its time to change for a newer version but thinking of the interphone sport, cardo (not sure what one) and some of the newer Sena models, what does everyone use and pros and cons for each?

I have owned a couple of versions of the Cardo scala Q2 and q3, but two failed as I plugged in my MP3 player and the rain corroded the inside. Also I found the batteries didn't last too long (approx. 18 months of commuting) and I could not replace them and reseal the unit.
I'm hope someone will recommend one of the others you are looking into, as I am looking for new intercom too.

How did the research into Intercoms go? I’d be Keen to know too as an intercom / phone connection be a completely new thing to me. Cheers

My research is saying either the (waterproof) Cardio Packtalk or a Sena 20S Evo.

Got a cardo pack talk. It's without doubt the better option on the market.
The latest slim one looks ideal but with my current one only a year old it can't justify changing it.
It's a good fit in my HJC RPHA 11 and adds no noticeable wind noise.
Great functionality and the voice control allows you to use Google assistant on the go. Great for changing location on maps or adding a way point. I use Spotify as my music player of choice and the controls work with this (start stop skip etc) but I can also call up different playlist and artists just by asking. It also lets you call any one in your phone book.
The app has functions but using Google assistant knocks it out the park. Down side is when you shout at some clown pulling out on you your phone can do random shit.
Sound quality is pretty good but the ear pads need to be positioned spot on which takes a bit of trial and error. You can tell if you need to move them by the sound getting louder or quieter when you move the lid around on your head.
There's also the DMC which is a emerging tech that will be seen across most new devices allowing 15 riders to create their own network maximising range. Great if you ride in large groups and future proofing if you don't.

^ Excellent Charwood, I think your Cardo can be the audio on GoPro footage too.

Anyone looked at the cheap Chinese ones on amazon? My mate was very happy with his (they mostly look the same just rebranded).

Mixed bag of results but the Cardo has been superseded now so you can pick it up for a much better price. About £170 if you dig. It's still a lot of cash but you then have the hardware support and software updates along with a decent warranty. I've done the Chinese shite and have given up. I just buy once now and get the best my money can buy.

Works perfectly (though I can't get it to connect to my buddies on pack talk) rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F163439871172
