CardoFRC1P101 FREECOM 1 Plus Motorcycle 2-Way Bluetooth Communication System Headset, Black, Dual, Set of 2

This works perfectly and has just been replaced with the 4X line I believe. It's easy to install with multiple options and fitted with ease on my helmet. The JBL upgraded speakers have amazing clarity even when cruising at motorway speeds. Find the microphone to be a little difficult when having phone calls at higher speed but it's serviceable otherwise! Haven't tested the unit to unit Comms but I am strongly considering upgrading to the Packtalk Bold just because I like this so much. Battery lasts well over 10 hours and the software is easy to use and understand. Will soon be changing helmets and will transfer the unit across, already know it'll be a breeze.

The Freecom1+ fitted inside my Nolan very well, the speakers were very snug and needed a bit of a squeeze, the m3m was needed due to the rim of the helmet not being suitable but very very secure, a small 8mm drill hole through the small Nolan removable panel (for their b series headsets) meant that all wires fed neatly inside and tucked out of sight. The sound quality with earplugs fitted is fantastic and you can clearly hear music and chat without distortion at 70mph comfortably. The control and ease of use are great, the fm radio is ok, I use a radio app personally but I did try it. I have ridden in the rain and the unit has stood up without fault and the battery life lasts my five day commuting over 600 miles without recharge.

I have had this headset for a week so have not tested it comprehensively but so far it has performed quite well. This is also my first bluetooth headset so I cannot say how it performs compared to other products. Setup was very easy using the Cardo App after pairing with the phone. I have been using it with Google music, Here we go mapping and GPS, and the radio. Music reproduction is very good but I have to select the album or playlist on the phone before setting off. The radio is a bit hit and miss but works well enough if the signal is good, but in poor reception areas the sensitivity of the headset seems weak. I have made two phone calls using the quick dial number and this worked quite well with the call going through first time. The device looks well made and clips firmly to the mount attached to the helmet. The main difficulty lies with the design of the push buttons which are a little difficult to locate with gloves, although with practice it does get a little easier. Also to utilize the different functions of the device you have to learn and remember the required key presses. Sound quality is a little difficult to judge but I would say it probably pretty good as judged when the motorbike is stopped, however external noise from wind and the engine drown out the sound from the speakers when on the move requiring the volume to be turned to the max on both phone and headset.The above sound issues probably apply to all bluetooth headsets so I wouldn't expect any other make to be significantly better with the helmet I am using. I have used the headset with and without earplugs with the volume being acceptable and wishing it to be louder to overcome the wind noise would likely initiate some hearing damage.Overall I am satisfied with this product but some compromises have to be accepted for a device of this type. For anyone who does not need rider to rider intercom features then it is a good option. Hopefully it will remain reliable over the coming months. I have given the product a 4 star rating based on the device performance but if sound fidelity is important to you then helmet choice will play a big part in the quality of the sound that you hear.

Amazing little device does everything I want it to and way more. Not used multi rider mode yet. But music and voice brilliant sound with clear voice even when at speed. Sound increases when bike is going faster then reduces automatically when speed is reduced. Some posts said the button to release device can be easily pressed and released. In my opinion this is not the case. When wearing leather gloves the button is a leaver and has to be pulled away from helmet to release, it is not possible with gloves on. Connectivity is brilliant and simple connecting 2 devices it tells you which device is connected. I've chosen to stick mine on rather than use the clamp adapter. No problems at all with coming off. Took less than 1 min to setup in my helmet. Would definetly buy again.

I bought the Duo version because the Madame and I were going on a tour of Scotland. It was the first time that we would be traveling on motorcycle for hours and days on end.So I figured we'd better have a way to communicate with each other, if nothing else for me to check if Madame was still awake or if she would like a comfort break.And the devices worked pretty much as advertised.Installation on my Schuberth E1 and her Givi something or other was easy enough. Easier on hers than mine.I was kind of too stupid to install it properly on my lid, which ended up with the gadget a little too far back. This meant that the Madame would occasionally bang into the rear-most button. And when she does that twice in quick succession, I'd end up with highly static FM playing in my ears, annoying the absolute crap out of me.The first time it happened, I couldn't figure out how to switch the radio off and had to stop at the first parking area we came up to, take my lid off and went pressing away until I gave up and switched it off and on again.A quick look at the manual showed how to switch it off when it happened again the next time. But well, best to not install it too far back, yeah.Apart from that ... stellar bit of kit.

Es muy fácil de utilizarLos materiales se sienten de muy buena calidadCuando aceleras a más de 70 km/hr y vas escuchando música el intercomunicador solo aumenta muy sutilmente el volumen y eso me encantóSe escucha muy claro con el copiloto, no tienes que gritar para que te escuche aunque vayas rápidoHoy maneje con lluvia moderada y sin ningún problemaAún no pruebo conectarlo con un intercomunicador de otra márcaLa aplicación cardo es muy sencilla de usar y tiene muy buenas funcionesElegí este porque se que los chinos que tanto se están vendiendo sirven pero solo por un rato y este parece que durará bastante

In preparation for a 1 month, 4000 mile motorcycle trip I thought I would try a Bluetooth system in conjunction with my new iPhone 13. Without a doubt, this combination has greatly changed - for the good - my motorcycling experience; it’s also made my wife happy since I am now accessible to her while I’m driving.I recall reading a few reviews stating the installation took them maybe 30 minutes. That was not my experience at all, I would say it took me at least two hours. Perhaps I’m more anal than some, but I wanted to get it right.The audio is exceptional, as long as you enjoy treble more than bass (the treble brought clarity to whatever I listened to). In my experience, I was able to make & receive phone calls easily as well as listen to my Sirius XM radio stations or my portfolio of music. As others have mentioned, the 4 buttons which require various combinations of actuation are a bit confusing, but only because the process is new. A couple more weeks of this process and I will have them down pat.As for the battery, not only does it charge very fast, I have yet to run out of battery power although I have had days in excess of eight or nine hours of use.BTW, for those of you who are wondering, and it should be many of you, how bad was the wind noise? I personally wear a full shell, HJC helmet, which is on the low end of price points of helmets. Though the wind noise usually seems fairly loud, I was shocked at the clarity of the audio the first time I received a phone call. I inquired of my caller and was told they could hear me perfectly, almost like I was just calling from the backseat of their car. As for talk shows and music, almost always I could hear in such a way as to have full understanding of what was being said or sung.Prior to my purchase of the Cardo Bluetooth, I studied and studied and studied other Bluetooth systems. Thus far, with over two weeks and nearly 2500 miles of driving, I am 100% satisfied with the Cardo system

This is the second set of these I have ordered from Amazon. First set needed replaced after one of them fell off helmet and got ran over (my fault), but still worked for another 2 yrs until being caught in a monsoon. The other one still works fine, but wanted a matched/paired set. Thats when I bought another pair of them. For the money my wife and I cant live without them (It took 2 days not having them to realize it). These work flawlessly for what we use them for, my wife and I have separate bikes and these are a must. Yes the speakers are not hat great, but can be upgraded fairly cheap. I bought the IASUS XSound 2.1 helmet speakers and we are highly satisfied with the sound. I recommend these to everyone. Yes they make better ones with more features and able to pair with more riders, with better sounding speakers, but the Freecom 2 Plus does eveything I need them to do at a very good price. They are simple to use and the battery lasts a very long time, I cant ask for anything better for the price. I am HIGHLY SATISFIED, thanks Amazon for the best price!!

I love that Cardo offers a more affordable but still quality bluetooth headset. My wife and I tested it, and the mic still lets a little wind through, but she could perfectly understand me and the speakers sound amazing and are pretty low profile. Its super easy to install, I installed it in about 2 or 3 minutes. 10/10 would recommend

Não poderia ser diferente. Com falantes JBL o som é perfeito e nítido, mesmo acima dos 100 km/h. A qualidade do áudio nas ligações telefonicas também merece destaque. Com a viseira aberta, o ruído do vento e do motor não atrapalha a comunicação.Cuidado com o volume, pois com a música alta vc não ouve mais nada ao seu redor, o que pode ser perigosoFunciona perfeitamente integrado ao painel TFT da BMW.Dica: Faça o pareamento apenas do capacete do piloto, assim o garupa não perde as funcionalidades do próprio intercomunicador e tem liberdade para ouvir as músicas que quiser e utilizar o próprio celular para chamadas telefônicas.
