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…
Customers largely appreciate the Cardo intercom's sound quality, ease of installation, and convenience for listening to music and receiving navigation instructions. They highlight the effectiveness of voice commands but also note occasional issues such as difficulties with certain voice commands and faulty microphones. Some experienced connectivity problems, especially with advanced features like Apple CarPlay, while others noted that battery life could vary. Overall, the users found it satisfactory for communication, despite challenges they encountered with reliability and the occasional lack of support from Cardo.
This was so easy to install and set up it was up and running in under 10 minutes. It fits my helmet perfectly and has all the accessories needed. Sound quality is great and the voice commands are a game changer. I've yet to use it as an intercom, so can't comment on that at the moment, but if the sound quality is anything to go by then it will be great.
Fitment can be fiddly, if you want that perfect polished finished (minimum wires showing), but was it worth it? To right.. It looks as if the helmet came fitted with intercom from factory. Haven't used an intercom for over 20year, the sound quality outstanding, Functions more than i will require.. Only down side is the learning of functions and trying to get the voice commands correct, but this is more me than the devices!
I have been on the fence for a while regarding helmet comms, but finally decided to bite the bullet.
I was comparing this and some of the SENA models, this one tipped the balance after a lot of reading. I'm very happy It did because it has really surprised me in the ease of use and quality.
I have used it for a short while now with phone calls, intercom and music. The hands free commands are a god send, even with my broad Yorkshire accent. I do have to say a commands twice sometimes, but even so, still a winner for me. The quality gets a little grainy at high volumes, but what doesn't.
0-60Mph it has worked exactly how I want it to, clear, quality audio. Above 60mph everything starts to drop off, but you kind of expect that.
Great product, very happy.
Great product, crystal clear sound and voice and so easy to use...well recommend!
looses a star for connection problems, but sound quality and volume are both excellent
Brought this for when my kids on the back and it’s honestly one of the best things I ever brought.
First off the intercom is super clear and has great sound, it’s super simple to install, has great features like radio player and Spotify share and the bit that sold it to me was the ability to connect to my insta 360 x5.
The only negative think I have to say is it’s a bit to button pressy (if that’s a thing) first time out the box it’s a bit much but after a few uses it easy.
Fits in our HJC helmets perfectly
Fits well but a gloved hand makes pressing the buttons awkward
Great bit of kit , easy to use with the voice activation, connects to other devices
After watching other reviews on YouTube and talking to other people, I got the Freecom 4X as I am not planning to be part of big groups of riders, by myself and maybe a friend or 2 max occasionally, but the sound quality is awesome from the JBL speakers. Installation was simple and quick and setup just as easy.
The JBL speakers sound brilliant, connects to your phone easily and works really well.
The roller on the side is a nice touch and can be used with gloves easily.
Upgraded to this and it's the best purchase to date. They fitted it for me quickly and I was ready to go within 30 mins haha
Very easy to get up and running. Not bulky or intrusive on the side of her lid. My wife rides with her friends and this connects to them all as they all use the Cardo intercom. Not sure if it is compatible with others. Easy access for maps, telephone and music. I opted not to have one as I prefer to hear my exhaust, although a bit of Van Halen wouldn't hurt. As always, simple process with Sportsbikeshop, click and it is in the house within 2 days.
Just getting back into biking after a 15 year break and these made the experience more enjoyable than I ever remember.
My friend was able to guide me and remind me little things to do and checks to make etc. The sound was crystal clear.
Initial setup was fairly easy and physical navigation buttons easy to use.
Technology was great as my son was calling me. When I answered the call it severed the connection between me and my friend to keep the phone conversation private. When the phone call was ended it reconnected to my friend instantaneously.
I can honestly say given the opportunity again I wouldnt hesitate to buy these.
Did my homework before purchasing as there are so many sets on the market.
There are cheaper products, but I have no regrets about spending the extra money.
Great gadget. The speakers are crystal clear and the hands free side is so important.
Great product. Not disappointed at all
It works really well, sound is crisp, and it s easy to use.
Delivery was well packed and super quick. Highly recommended.
Fast next day delivery. Super service, product arrived updamaged
I bought this to fix to a pair of ear defenders, to use when driving my (very noisy) Caterham Super 7. I did an online search beforehand and this model looked best suited for what I need. I then searched the website for the best price and Sports Bike Shop were the cheapest. Not only that, the online buying process was simple and quick, and they arrived very quickly. The cherry on the top is the setup works brilliantly! Well done Sportsbikeshop and Cardo!
Essential for any ride out! The staff were great at helping me find the right intercom for my needs. They also highlighted that I could save money when buying this with my helmet. This was a purchase that I planned to make anyway but it was great to save a little when purchasing it

Find it cheaper at any major motorcycle accessory retailer, online or in-store and we‘ll match it.
