This is a great product
These are great. I bought them because the wife and u were going on a trip. She wanted to be able to talk to me. I was apprehensive about them because I ride a harley with loud exhaust. They work great up to about 65 mph after that you can still communicate fairly well but the wind noise is more the issue at high speed not the exhaust noise. The phone sync is easy and sound quality is good at lower speed at high speed is gets a little less of an enjoyable sound quality. I have had very good phone conversations with it up to 65 mph but wouldn't try at higher speeds. Battery life is way better than the product specs. I rode 7hrs listening to music the whole time and the next day the battery was still at 80%. The size of the device is small and the hand controls are easy to use once you learn them. Installation is kinda tricky but with a little patience it goes in just fine. I was concerned that the speakers would come loose when putting on and taking off the helmet but so far hasn't been a problem. When using the voice recognition I found that saying "hey cardo" then wait a half second before the command works best. At higher speeds its less likely to work though. All in all I would recommend this product..

Excellent bike audio and communication solution.
Over the years I have purchased and used a large variety of helmet communication solutions from many brands.These are my favorite so far. The JBL speakers sound very good and definitely worth the extra.The units are low profile, easy to install and full of features. I will not bore you with all the details, you can read the specs from the manufacturer. I have used them on a variety of different rides from solo to groups, in the city to out in the mountains. These are my favorite communicators now.Pros:- Low profile- Excellent audio quality- Clear communication with very good noice cancelling- Complete features set to cover every need- Voice commands that make it easy to do most tasks without using your hands- integration with Siri and Google assistant- FM radio- Wheel button controlCons:- App slow to load- Voice commands are not very intuitive. This is not natural language, you have to speak the available commands exactly right or it will not work. Sometimes voice doesn't work and I have to connect the app before they kick in- The wheel button is great, but be careful where you place it on the helmet. If it is right above your shoulder, you can accidentally click it when you turn your head to one side or shrug. Which basically pauses whatever you are doing. Not the end of the world, but can be annoying. Put a little further back on your helmet and it will be good- Range is good, not great. But reconnecting is easy.

Exceeded expectations
This system worked very well between my wife as back seater and myself.My setup is a modular helmet. So the standard boom mic worked just fine. The full face helmet really helped with noise cancellation especially as my highway speeds were pretty high (just keeping up with traffic, officer). Install was pretty easy. Dressing the wires took a little monkeying around, but not terrible.My wife’s rig was a little more complicated. She has a 3/4 helmet with face shield. Also, she has a sun visor that has a left side slider to lower the visor. I had to get the extension boom kit for her setup. The extension uses VHB adhesive on the mounting bracket. The mounting is right next to the visor control so locating the bracket Is pretty limiting.Since her helmet is 3/4, at higher speeds (over 65mph) the mic was getting triggered a lot and noise cancellation got dodgy due to wind. Mic placement was critical. She tended to keep the mic a bit further from her mouth than optimal so the noise was a bit problematic.We used these units for a 7 day ride and the batteries survived full day usage with overnight charging.I had an initial issue with firmware upgrades but I think that was a Win10 or possibly virus scan/firewall issue. I was able to use my auxiliary computer (MacBook with OS X 10.13, I think) to do the upgrade successfully.This seemed to surprise the Cardo support team...Overall, this was a great purchase and has significant improved our flexibility on our adventures.BTW, a little Tony Stark action is always fun - taking a phone call from my son as we’re rocketing up the highway in Texas, what could be cooler!?!
