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

We’ve had great communication through our matching cardo spirits. You can hear each other even when your bike has no muffler and is the loudest thing on the planet. Easy to set up, it’s got great range, and fits all helmets perfectly. Battery life seems forever, I’ve never had it run out. The app isn’t bad, pretty self-explanatory. You can also connect to other cardios, even if they’re not Spirit. Microphone sounds great and clear too.

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

The sound quality is MUCH better than expected, especially seeing other reviews of how bad it was, but gambled on it anyway because for the budget. Surprisingly loud. Sits well on my LS2 helmet. I suppose others misplace them in their helmets, have padding covering them up, or maybe just a bad phone connection. My helmet had circle embedded into the foaming under my pads, and the piece that covers the speaker in that spot is very thing with holes to allow sound. I can barely hear anything outside of my helmet with music on full blast. Gave 4 stars because although installation was easy, and set up was okay, the pairing is iffy. My phone doesn't stay paired very well BUT the Bluetooth will continue my music and phone calls without issues, and I can still use the intercom. I just wish it would stay connected thoroughly without having to reconnect everything I go more than 10 feet away from my phone.

Great unit. Speakers sound great. Bass is non existent but that is expected. The JBL upgrade will solve that. Great connection and communication use.

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.

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.

Super easy install and easy to use, speakers are crazy loud I can only go max volume if I’m wearing earplugs. Makes talkin with your backpack much easier than yelling 100% recommend these
