XGP X10 Budget Helmet Intercom for EUC - Better than Cardo?

I too wondered whether it was worth getting a non Cardo helmet intercom system. It is! So glad I chose XGP for my two kids’ helmets. Now we can communicate so easily on our rides together.

Ease of use of the XGP X10 can’t get any better. Super reliable.
