Cardo Systems Spirit Motorcycle Bluetooth Communication Headset, 2-Way Bluetooth, Thin 32mm Speakers, Waterproof, Universal Connectivity - Single Pack

This is my fifth season riding and only my first headset - it’s only been two days with it and it is incredible. I don’t have any frame of reference other than listening to wind, but I’ll do my best here. With any non-integrated headset, installation will be involved and may take some trial and error for optimal placement. I couldn’t fit the speakers on the interior of the shell due to the interior padding’s styrofoam, but I was able to fit them inside the ear recess of my cheek pads which is even better. Setting up is very easy. Quick pairing to your phone, downloading and signing up for the cardo app just takes a few minutes. Tweaking the bulk of the volume settings will take less than a few short rides. The update after pairing was the biggest delay of ~5 minutes. With the speakers essentially touching my ears, volume is a non-issue for me. Even at its lowest setting, sound is plenty loud at a stop. The app’s setting for environment-adjusted volume didn’t seem to work for me, but that might just take more tweaking. Controls are easy to use, even with thick gloves. 4 buttons with ridges to easily find which one you need, and learning/remembering the taps, double taps, and combinations comes quick enough. No real limitation in functionality there. This specific model only intercoms with one other rider natively, great for riding with a passenger or a single buddy within close range. Of course, leveraging your phone and bluetoothing into a discord chat is another option to get more riders with this headset. I rode for five hours earlier listening to music and intercomming with a buddy, and when I got home my battery was still over 50%. Removing the module from the mount and charging with USB-C is too easy. Music, phone calls, directions, intercom chatting, and Siri during your ride is awesome after riding without for years. I can’t speak for any other headset, but for less than $100, this was a great investment for me.

it does what it's supposed to do. I works great for two helmets for me and a second rider. The sound is great. It connects easily to my phone. The sound quality is good even without the JBL upgrade. I can hear music and directions clearly at up to 50 mph. I can still hear it at 60mph, but on a naked bike the wind takes over. I'm not sure I need to upgrade the sound. It's already good. Also answering the phone and changing volume while driving is easy after your remember where the buttons are. It's a whole new riding experience. Playing music can eat the battery in a few hours but just communication and directions last hours even on a long ride. Great purchase.

These Cardo headsets are great quality. Sound is great and easy to install if helment is made for it. It makes riding in groups safer and easier to stay together with communication between riders. Battery life last all day or about 10 hours charges fast also.

The Cardo Spirit Duo was easy to install and pair right out of the box. Bought it for me and my husband so we can communicate while he is riding the bike and I'm the passenger. The sound quality is clear for music, phone calls and works great. The controls are simple to use even with gloves on. I also loved that t is waterproof and battery lasts throng long rides. If your are looking for an affordable, dependable motorcycle communication, this is an excellent choice. I would definitely recommend it

Primarily bought it to pair up with my riding friend's comm. Haven't used it for that yet so I'll update my review when I do. Meanwhile, installation was easy. Pairs easily with my S10. Music sounded fine at moderate volume. I don't intend to crank it up. I only need music to be in the background. Update: audio quality is good at all volumes. Also don't intend to talk on calls while riding. However, I tested it while walking around outside with my helmet on. My friend said I sounded clear and I could hear them clearly as well. I like the simplicity of the unit with the 4 buttons that are accessible even with gauntlets on. Entire rig added about 8.5 oz to my helmet. Haven't tested battery life fully, but it was fine on an hour ride. Overall, for the price and my intended use, it fits my needs. I ride mostly alone. The few times I ride with my friend, I'm counting on it to work fine pairing to what ever comm they're using. UPDATE: pairs easily with my friend's other brand unit. Sounds good, easy to communicate during rides with him. Update: I bought 3 and probably buying a 4th, 2 for my HJC helmets, 1 for my son's AGV, 1 for my AGV. Note: installed the speakers without the mounting pads. The pads added too much thickness and speakers pressed hard on my ears in my HJC C91. The cheek pads hold them in just fine without velcro. Plus I like the ability for them to move around freely if I want to adjust position without unvelcroing all the time.

Got this as a budget option compared to the pack talk. This is a great tool when riding with a new rider. The battery life lasts over multiple rides. Has a reasonable amount of noise cancellation and even the cheaper speakers work good. Had them installed in two helmets pretty quickly. The size of the unit on the outside is small enough to not be in the way but large enough to easily find the buttons even with gloves on. It sacrifices not comfort, it is almost unobtainable in the helmet.

I have been using various wireless and wired ear pods for years, this is my first in helmet system. I use in a Schuberth helmet which is fairly quiet, and I am impressed with the quality of sound. The helmet had recesses for the speakers, and installation was easy. Consistent and reliable connection to my iphone, no dropped signals. Great for music when riding. I have not used the microphone for telephone calls except for testing purposes, but my wife mentioned she could not tell it was from my helmet. One of the reasons for the purchase was also the ability to dial 911 in case of any road emergencies, from my helmet using iphone Siri and verbal commands hands free while still riding. I have not tested this functionality, but it should serve the purpose.

Decent set up, every helmet is different so understandable on the poor directions . Enjoy the mic quality and sound damping of the motorcycle while on a call. Huge disappointment was the flea market 50 cent speakers that came with it. It brought me back to the day of the foam uncomfortable metal band headphones from school that needed the aux cord turned just right. For 2026 you’d think at 100$ they’d not include these because it’s hands down a joke. I’d give it a 2 star but it did what it was supposed to do. Just will kill my ear drums because the treble is worse than my Nokia flip back in the day. What a horrible pair of speakers HORRIBLE.

I first want to point out that it is not the seller's fault, but the whole purchase went very smoothly and the product arrived on time, but I bought a Cardo Spirit DUO to replace my old motorcycle intecom in the hope that my wife and I can ride a motorcycle together and listen to music while riding while still being able to talk if/when needed. I have checked the specification of this device (Spirit DUO) and according to descriptions, it should be possible to share music and at the same time be able to have the intercom running. Now I've sat and tried everything but can't manage to share the music from my mobile via Spirit No.1 with my wife's Spirit No.2 while intecom is running. I can share the music but as soon as I activate the intercom the music sharing is interrupted and I can talk to her via the intercom and to return to the music sharing I have to deactivate the intercom. I thought that the music sharing and the intercom would work simultaneously and switch automatically depending on whether there is a call on the intercom that is prioritized otherwise the music sharing takes over. I think it is very dangerous to keep on and switch between music sharing and intercom when riding a motorcycle

Cardo funktioniert ohne Kopfschmerzen zerursachen mit jeder erdenklichen Marke, selbst wenn die noch so weit aus Fern Ost kommen. Die Kabellänge und Qualität ist für eine Helminnenverlegung überdurchschnittlich bemessen, da kann sich Parani von Sena eine große Scheibe von Abschneiden, da dieses sofort aufgrund der zu kurzen Kabel zurück ging. Die App ist gut durchdacht und lässt auch ein Limitieren der einzelnen Lautstärken zu, damit man weder eine Navigations- noch Sprachansage verpasst. Ebenso werden Hintergrundgeräusche, wie Musik bei einer Sprachkommunikation gedämpft. Eine Teilung der Musik zu seinem Gesprächspartner ist möglich, verhindert aber jeder eine Sprachkommunikation. Auch die Lautsprecher sind dem Preisentsprechend überdurchschnittlich und je nach Helm auch unfassbar Laut und Basslastig. Auch wenn man mit Zwei gleichen Geräten nur einen Gesprächspartner Koppeln kann, so kann man sich auch mit Insgesamt 4 Leuten verbinden, welche Zwei weitere Partner dazwischen sind die einen B Kanal haben. Wir sind insgesamt sehr zufrieden und werden, sofern ein wechsel auf eine höherwertige Produktreihe ansteht, gerne wieder bei Cardo kaufen.

Ottimo dispositivo, possibilità di condividere la musica con la tua zavorrina in un paio di semplici tocchi, audio buono (sia alti che bassi) e facile da montare/smontare.

Après avoir essayé (et renvoyé à Amazon) un kit de 2 Sena 3S, un kit de 2 AsMax S1 et un kit de 2 Midland BT Mini, j'ai essayé ce kit de 2 Cardo Spirit. Cardo est le leader incontesté des intercoms pour motos, maintenant je sais pourquoi. Même ce modèle d'entrée de gamme est meilleur que tous les modèles essayés listés ci-dessus. Le contexte de mes tests : ma femme et moi roulons sur 2 motos et nos intercoms nous servent principalement à communiquer tout au long de nos balades (rythme assez tranquille) tout en écoutant les instructions de guidage (guidage vocal 68° pour ma femme et juste les "bips" de mon Beeline moto II pour moi). De manière très occasionnelle, il nous arrive également de répondre brièvement à des appels téléphoniques. Le premier bon point des Cardo c'est qu'ils rétablissent automatiquement la liaison entre nos deux casques dès la mise en route. La communication entre nous est forte et claire, même avec mon Bell Moto III qui est un intégral cross plutôt mal protégé du vent dès qu'on dépasse les 100 km/h. Le deuxième très bon point sur lequel Cardo bat tout le monde, c'est le volume des différentes sources audio. Chaque source a un volume sonore réglable indépendamment des autres. Ça veut dire que vous pourrez régler un niveau de volume différent pour la sonnerie du téléphone, de l'intercom, du guidage GPS, de la musique ou des communications téléphoniques et que tous ces niveaux seront mémorisés. De tous les intercoms que j'ai testé, ce sont les seuls qui savent faire ça ! Troisième très bon point : le commandes sont très simples à utiliser. 4 boutons faciles à trouver et à manipuler avec des gants, et surtout un accès à votre assistant vocal (Siri ou autre) avec une simple pression sur le bouton arrière : brillant ! En ce qui concerne l'aspect, le Cardo Spirit est moins discret que le Sena 3S (presque invisible) et un peu plus épais que le Midland BT Mini. Il reste cependant assez compact et avec une simple led plutôt discrète pour un ensemble qui n'enlaidira pas trop votre casque. Dernier point, l'application pour smartphone est très bien faite et parfaitement traduite en français (de même que les retours sonores de l'appareil). Elle est facile à configurer, facile à utiliser et très pratique. Sur ce point également Cardo écrase largement la concurrence. Je précise que n'écoutant pas de musique en moto, je ne vais pas évaluer la qualité sonore (profondeur des basses, qualité des aigus, etc.). Pour l'usage que j'en fait (voix uniquement) les haut-parleurs des 4 modèles testés se valent tous. Sachant que tous ces packs de 2 intercoms sont dans la même gamme de prix (entre 150 et 180€), selon moi il n'y a vraiment aucun raison de ne pas choisir ces Cardo Spirit !
