Cardo Systems Spirit Motorcycle Bluetooth Communication Headset - Black, Dual Pack

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.

Update: added one star for loudness. --- Good: The device is well built and the package contains everything you may need for installation. The buttons are easy to find and press in gloves. The application allows to manage all functions and works flawlessly. I like that I can disconnect the device from the dock station -- it makes charging more convenient. The sound is not bad. P.S. I have another Cardo with 45 mm JBL speakers installed in my other helmet. The difference is a night and day until I reach 40 mph :) then it's the same

Got this for me and the wife riding on separate bikes. Reasonable range and it rarely disconnects. When you do go out of range it reconnects automatically. Battery life is good. I’m able to ride to work for a full week without worrying about it. Sound is reasonably tho I typically have the volume all the way up. Listen to podcasts and the audio comes thru just fine.

Installation was super simple. Some people do the adhesive, but I chose the clamp/clip on my AGV K6 and it works well. I was ready to give this thing a low rating because of the audio quality, but it turns out I just didn’t place the speakers well. My helmet has deep speaker wells just for this, but for some sized heads, it puts the speakers too far from your ear, resulting in a tinny poor quality audio. I then tried installing the included speaker spacer pads to position them closer to my ear, and the sound quality improved drastically! Decent quality sound, especially for the price. Downside: The EQ settings are only available with the HD version - but here’s the BS kicker: the unit is capable of it, they just choose to lock it out unless you get the upgraded speakers and scan a QR code. So you’re paying for a device that you can’t use all of. I thought that was pretty dumb. Aside from that, decent connectivity, easy controls and buttons and I’ve never dropped a connection yet. Took it for several 4+ hour rides and it was never less than 50% battery after any of those rides. Build quality seems very solid.

I picked up the Cardo Spirit for my Ninja 400, and it’s been one of the best upgrades I’ve made. The audio is surprisingly clear, both for music and calls, even with wind noise at higher speeds. Pairing it with my phone was effortless, and it reconnects automatically every time I start the bike. The buttons are well placed and easy to use with gloves, and the battery life lasts several long rides without charging. For riders who want a dependable, no fuss comms setup without spending a fortune, this thing is perfect.

Make sure the speakers line up perfectly with your ear hole. Good sound for the price, only gripe would be that the speaker don’t have much base. Clear voice talk on phone calls.

Wow very impressed I bought some high end speakers and a portable amp they sounded good but since I switched to the cardo omg they woke them up ama sounds amazing I haven't even tried the jbl speakers i got the the add on but boy an I happy it's a little tricky hooking up to my carplay though you have to turn the cardo off first connect to carplay then turn it on and it's fine and you can really crank the volume up without distortion I have yet to try a call but so far I've been very impressed was gonna get the better one but this works so good no need and I got it on black Friday so I got a great deal also I live the fact that it's so easy to take off your helmet so you don't have to worry about thieves

great product for a great price, and it stays charged for a long period of time. the mic quality is good and it cancels out excess noise when on phone calls. very easy to use and connect via bluetooth.
