  2. #Cardo #Spirit system, which is on sale now, is absolute garbage for music listening (can't speak for #intercom performance).

    Either the speakers are COMPLETELY mismatched to the amp, or they are nerfed intentionally, or both!, to up-sell you to upgraded speakers.

    Very consumer un-friendly behavior. Support other manufacturers of #motorcycle intercoms.

    See and hear the unbearable music performance: youtube.com/watch?v=cmn1OOlr51M

  3. Testing testing! For those motorcyclists with a #gopro #hero12 and a #cardo Packtalk (Edge, in my case).

    I connected the Hero 12 to my Cardo so that I can record audio while riding. Detailed steps are here: youtu.be/gLi3R18wYXg?si=BgZgtL courtesy of Cardo.

    My initial test worked very well. The camera is mounted on my crashbar. Voice commands worked perfectly.

    I will test more over the coming days. See my results here: youtube.com/shorts/0Yw-CDtmBxA

  4. It's a beautiful day in the #Catskills so I went for a #motorcycle ride and played with my new #Cardo communicator. Initial impression: installation was simple on my Nolan full-face helmet; the audio is solid, even at speed with ear plugs it's plenty loud at lower settings; I can't feel the two small buttons with my Knox gloves which leads to... the voice control takes some getting used to, it either didn't respond or Google Assistant chirped up.

  5. I just want to give a biiiiiig Fuck You to #Cardo for designing their firmware update/settings utility to require an online login in order to connect to your physical hardware device.

  6. Más vale tarde que nunca. Terminada la primera temporada de #Cardo (en ATresPlayer). Buenísima, todo el reparto está genial, pero Ana Rujas está de premio (de hecho, se llevó el Feroz a mejor actriz protagonista de una serie).
    Directa a mi top de mejores #series españolas recientes.

  7. Ojo que ya está emitiéndose la segunda temporada de #Cardo y los primeros capítulos son 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

  8. Major peeve of mine strikes again: #Cardo #Freecom 4+ helmet clamp mount has a quick removal button on the front that ejects the unit "for convenience." The button sticks out enough that it can be bumped, and in fact every time I put my helmet on the helmet lock on my bike, the button presses up against the subframe, and about half the time the $200+ unit ends up on the floor. Yesterday, I failed to notice it had fallen off until after I had ridden off without it, and now it's gone.

    It's the third helmet intercom in 2 years to suffer this exact fate, despite switching to a different model and brand in search of one less likely to fall off.

    Nobody makes a damn intercom anymore that actually stays put reliably... and of course when it falls off on the highway or in a parking lot and you don't immediately notice and retrieve it, guess what you need to buy another whole unit. I'm starting to think it's a deliberate design decision to inflate their sales.

    By the time I replace this one, I will have spent over $1000 on replacing lost and defective shitty helmet electronics in the 2 years since my 10+ year old Sena broke after breaking my helmet's fall.

    The quality of everything today is drastically worse than it was 10-20 years ago, and it hasn't gotten any less expensive to buy.
