Advice & Guides Riding doesn’t have to mean restricting yourself to your own headspace, thanks to comms system that let you stay in touch with passengers, riding buddies and your phone…
The Cardo Spirit HD intercom system garners enthusiasm from customers for its ease of use and robust features. The sound quality impresses, providing clear music and call audio, even at high speeds. Many customers express satisfaction with its functionalities, such as seamless integration with voice assistants, radio, and sat nav. Installation might require some repositioning in helmets, but the setup process is largely considered straightforward. Customers appreciate its performance, compact design, and the cost-effective upgrade compared to more expensive options, making it a top choice for enhancing the riding experience.
I have got to the stage in life when I need my GPS to tell me where I am going! Also thought it would be handy for listening to music on my phone.
The set up was easy thanks to the Cardo vids. I had a bit of a struggle to get the base to clip to my helmet but it feels very secure. Getting the unit to pair to my GPS (Beeline) and Android phone was a breeze.
The controls are easy to reach and navigate with summer gloves on - not sure what they will be like during the winter.
Only problem I had was the instruction for removing the body from the base was a bit confusing until I worked it out. Maybe this is something Cardo should think of showing on their video. The other struggle was getting my helmet pads back in place. Tidying the wiring took a few goes but I don't have miles of cable dangling.
The sound is great (I listen to radio 4, rock and dance music). I don't use my phone when riding (the world can !£%& off).
Mrs B my GPS comes over clear and this means my rides have become more adventurous...
Just starting riding and got recommended the spirit cardo by someone, works well Is only short range for the coms but the music system is great n the speakers are very clear. Easy to install
Not in use yet bought for Denmark trip at end of June expecting a good result
After reading many reviews, watching videos etc, it was cardo all the way for me.
Never had any issues with connectivity with either Android phone or the Go Rider Pro
Got this as quick replacement to a 20s that I had for years and pleased with sound quality. Easy install on my scorpion lid and button layout easy to use
Super quality easy to install, straightforward connection instructions
Great price great product easy to fit and use
I can't compare it to other things, as this is the one that was in budget.
Having said that, man does it make everything easier having one of these fitted.
Satnav, music, calls, all now so easy I don't think about it.
Great videos online for fitting it to the helmet.
Pairs in no time, controls are easy to find on the helmet. Just another quality product!
I think the sound quality is ace considering the speaker size. It's become can't live without it kit.
Love cardo products. Easy to fit. Works very well. Connects to other cardo units very well.
Does not come with instructions, but all on the app.
Works really well for music and phone calls, have not used it for intercom yet.
Speakers nice and clear even with ear plugs in.
Battery life is good.
The Spirit HD is easy to setup and pair. And the battery lasts all day.
The volume is far too low on the intercom even when set to max as for music and phone calls I gave up in the end I couldn't hear anything.
If all you want is basic intercom at lower speeds then this will be ok
Quality product that works very well as a solo rider or if you just ride with one mate.
It's easy to operate, the battery lasts several hours and the range between units is more than enough.
If I go out of range, I can just phone my riding friend and the call comes through the unit.
The HD speakers are really clear and sound enough to hear through earplugs The mike is vocally clear and you don't get any background noise from the other rider.
Easy set up and the Cardo app works well
I've had no issues with fitting or connecting and it sounds clear, even at motorway speeds.
I got this for a new helmet, as my other helmet uses a HJC intercom. It was easy to set up, and is slightly louder than the HJC. Battery life is good, but slightly less than the HJC as that has an external battery fitted into the rear of the helmet. I've never had a problem with battery life, and go on long tours. The Cardo has good quality audio, easy connection, and fast recharging.
Speakers are good, connects easily to phone and easy to fit and use.

It sure does support voice commands.
This is a Bluetooth-only intercom, and it s limited to pairing to just one other rider, with a limited range also. Being able to link to another biker should therefore not be the main reason to buy this particular device.
Find it cheaper at any major motorcycle accessory retailer, online or in-store and we‘ll match it.
