I know this is an old video but I came across due to Lexin having a sale on the G16 and I am trying to determine if they are worth it. It has been IMPOSSIBLE almost to find a non sponsored opinion on anything from Lexin, especially the G16 or any other model communicator they sell. This video has been super helpful. I currently have a pack talk bold and was looking to change to something else due to the bad quality connection issues I have had, the range on it seems to not hold up at all to what they state. I don't know if I just have a bad unit. It is like 5 or so years old but it has been like this since I purchased it new. Maybe I will see if I can mess with some settings, try bluetooth vs mesh to see if it helps. I go out with one other person and they are normally close by (either passenger on bike or on their own bike) and the connection quality is very hit or miss. I am assuming this is a me issue or at the least my specific unit issue.
great vid. I use the Lexin on my sled and I can attest to the speaker quality being horrible. Thanks for confirming that for me. I will be looking at Cardo's
We had SENA 20sEVO, started having issues, went to Cardo Packtalk Bold. I could not return the Cardo fast enough. 1200 ish miles and it was so staticky no matter on mesh or Bluetooth. If there was no static and someone started talking they just cut in and out so bad you couldn’t even understand “I need gas”. We don’t listen to music, purely a communication between people on different bikes. We have a friend that isn’t happy with her SENA 50S. So we are still on the hunt for something that works.
Very well said & I can't agree more! I just tried out the G16 from my Pactalk bold & I'm going back immediately lol. For the price lexin is pretty nice for sure but it just doesn't hold a candle to Cardo
So glad I found this video. We have a lot of big rides this year and everyone wants to use lexin(price point I'm sure) for our communication. Thanks for the info. I've subbed 🤘
You forgot to mention that cardo charges to unlock certain features that you need and you have to pay a monthly or yearly fee to keep it unlocked. You get what you pay for. If you bought it, then it should be yours. You should not have to pay rent to work certain features. That's a scam. bait and switch. It's illegal.
This unit i feel is designed for people with cheaper helmets with alot more wind noise & no chin curtain to where sound quality doesnt matter. Im talkin Simpsons & Gringos who listen to either Hip Hop or Metal. Great & Honest review man. You saved me $169.99
Could you please stop evaluating as "cheap" for 170$ Chinese intercom. And why the earth should I need an app to use intercom better or so... it just makes it more complicated. A successful intercom should not required an app IMO, it should be simple.
Thanks for the honest review man. I have a sena 20s and was looking to try a lexin next but I think I’ll try a cardo since I haven’t heard a bad thing about them yet
I agree that the Lexin g16 is TRASH! My wife + I have the ft4 they have much better sound + volume.... that being said I am waiting for some 45mm Cardo speakers to try on the ft4... anyone want to to buy a set of G16 used for less than 100 miles

Thank you for your review, i think that when you talk about microphone and the speakers you solve all my questions. Thank you
