It was a joke.
That isn't a compromise. It is a completely different topic.
EDIT: I missed the joke, but I always do because he's the most unfunny bloke on the internet.
I really don’t care if the 50s is better than the SRL unit in the Neotec 2.All I know is that the SRL works seamlessly.It also connects every time to the TFT on my KTM.Who cares if the Bluetooth isn’t the latest version ? It works.
I don’t want a non-waterproof unit stuck on my helmet as I have no wish to have 7 mates gabbling in my ear hole.If this is a deal-breaker for you then crack on.
The OP was asking about which intercom and I , and quite a few others were saying that the SRL kit works very well,plus of course it’s integrated.
Depends what you want from an intercom.
I simply want to play music and be able to take the odd call.I can also talk to my pillion when I have one or pair with a mate with similar when riding together.
I’ve tried a multiple-bike system and it was shite,plus I really don’t want all the chatter when riding.That’s what coffee stops are for.
We’ve done an Asturias trip for the last half dozen years or so with normally 8-10 riders and nobody uses a mesh system.
A couple of us have Shoeis/SRLs so sometimes pair up, but that’s it and it works just great.
We all like different things and have different needs but trying to ram it down someone’s throat that you need a Sena 50s because it’s more modern is a tad daft.Bit like still using an Android phone

But, for completeness, you don't have to use the mesh and can toddle along listening to music and a fat bird on the back via Bluetooth.
The Cardo (which is waterproof) offers one connection, or multiple. Bluetooth, Mesh, or both at the same time. But like many things, all features are not required all the time, if at all, but sometimes useful to have.
But you have lots to say about it
Like you, I posted in reply to this thread. You took it upon yourself to take it personably that I pointed out the SRL is an old, obsolete unit. And then be offensive.
Arsey, I've seen years of you on here. And I use this as a basic guide. Speak to people online, with respect and as if you are standing next to them in the pub. Because, Im certain you'd not have called me a prat.
I'm up for a coffee sometime if you want to discuss this further.
PS SRL is old, Obsolete and shite.
I’ll prepare a review of the compromise alternative (call it what you will) non-integrated, not stuck on the outside, Bluetooth, dangle from your ears things, as and when they turn up from Sidcup.

I called you a prat ? You’re making stuff up.Very weird.
Back to the point
MESH2 is excellent. Fortunately at last two manufacturers (SENA and INTERPHONE) have developed an open MESH, so you are not tied-in as you are with Cardo.

I'm off to Spain with 3 mates in a couple of weeks. During the cold winter months, we discussed whether we would bother with group comms, and decided we would! One of the guys had BMW system 6 IIRC, one had a cheapy chinese bluetooth, and 2 of us had Sena. We decided to try MESH2. Had a spin in the Scottish borders a couple of weeks ago. Delighted with MESH2. We're all compatible now. Works very well, good range and very clear even with 4 of us speaking.
Hope Cardo comes on board too, and other manufacturers quit the crappy outdated proprietary approach that's been around far too long
There's also a Sena adapter so that people with older Sena units can get MESH2 without a full swap-out...

Yes, it appeared to be with both old and new Cardo kit.
And how would I do that ? I’m not a mod.
Anyway , this thread is about the Neotec and not your weirdness .
I had a Sena 10U inside my Schuberth, but decided to go with Interphone UCOM16. It took me a while as I was going to go with the Sena Mesh Adapter first, but the deal on the Interphone was too tempting, plus I sold my Sena on here. The Schuberth is already 3 years old, so decided to get a non-specific comms unit as I'll be swapping the Schuberth in a couple of years i guess (altho it's wearing very well so I may run it longer).
The adapter looks good, hope I made the right call, only time will tell. It would also be interesting to see if the Adapter works with other (than Sena) Bluetooth headsets...

It's so refreshing to see manufacturers (1) adopting "open" techgnology instead of proprietary lock-ins, and (2) making their older headsets forwards-compatible. Big tick for Sena and Interhpone IMHO (and Cardo can go to the back of the class and do detention
)So far I am very pleased with the Interphone Ucom 16. Battery life is not quite as good as the Sena 10u. I got a low battery warning after about a 6 hour ride, but later on in the day it never ran out. You can get a larger battery pack for the Interphone (battery packs are seperate from the "controller" on the Ucom 16) which I may do if battery life becomes a problem. The UCOM16 is a few quid cheaper than equivalent Sena 50x, and is also IP67 - two things that pushed me to Interphone instead of Sena 50.
Got my Interphone from Motocentral, and got the extra 10% discount using code UKGSERS at the checkout... (also bought the 2-pack as you save £25 per unit and a mate wanted one too)
I posted facts. You got all precious as you always do on here. And gobbed off. Remember, Speak to people on here, as you would standing next to them in a pub.

Thanks Martin. Quite a few places doing the UCom16 for £200 so seams pretty good. Would just love it of the battery would fit in the back of the Neotec The actual control is very slim
That 50S is a monster size - looks like a carbuncle

£350 for the 2-pack at MotoCentral, then 10% off and free carriage, £162/unit if you can find someone else who wants one
