[@ReQuiem_2099]

I love you guys, but this is utter BS. I've been running the base Spirit paired with the JBL 45mm speakers flawlessly since the beginning of Feb. A few days after I'd set them up, Cardo even pushed an update adding more feature support for the JBL 45mm speakers in the mobile app. I'd also reached out to Cardo prior to buying and been told that they are compatible. Plus, obviously, they're just speakers being plugged into a 3.5mm jack. S/W support is one thing, but they're obviously hardware supported. In my opinion, if you don't have a need to chat with more than one person, there's very little reason to not pair these. After store cash, RPM discount, holiday deals, I was able to get arguably the best quality listening experience for $155.

[@patrickmchugh8039]

Solid feedback here - when we shot the review it was still something that Cardo was working on giving out to the Spirit line. Technology moves fast so I'm happy to see Cardo already has that out there and able to work with the units.

[@GRUFF..]

I have the cardo Spirit and bought the JBL speakers, plugged them in. Downloaded the app, scan the barcode and it uploaded the JBL audio options onto the app. So yes, the JBL speakers are compatible with the cardo Spirit and Spirit HD

[@bigboydunkin]

thanks for this, i'm an audio engineer by trade and was caught off guard when i heard him say that the JBL speakers are not compatible with the units, at 3:14. i assume at the time of recording, there are some codes that cardo wrote in their firmware to degrade their audio quality/unable to "unlock" better sound profiles. because surely the drivers are exactly what they are, drivers. with a 3.5mm jack 😂 buying a cardo spirit and upgrading to the 45mm JBL speakers are what my intentions are going to be. the only way the audio quality may be compromised is that if the audio chip digital signal processor (DSP) in the unit itself is different than the other models e.g. spirit vs packtalk lineup. but one thing i've learned in the motorcycle world is that, the company/manufacturers themselves are lazy, they'll just put in the same DSP for all models and offer the difference of quality through the drivers, to cut some costs as well. also going to add on that the misconception now for most people is that bigger drivers, 45mm, means louder output. well generally that is the case, but bigger drivers mean better audio response in terms of quality, because there is just more surface area to put out the frequency hertz, hence the perception "louder". but going down the motorway will still be a challenge because with audio its not about how loud you can put out, but its how much you can block out! the better the isolation the better the audio quality.

[@williamgales479]

I thought they were compatible - I mean Cardo themselves on their own website does state they are indeed compatible. Why wouldn't they.... the connection is only, the same, a 3.5m jack aux

[@Joseph-ly7sb]

I basically only ride with my wife so this is perfect. My Sena was way too complicated while riding and was like $350 I hated it lol

[@easyesky6646]

The test of this line-up, would be to give the boxed unit to someone who has never used or installed one before. And see how they go. Might even make an interesting upload.

[@ColinPopoviciu]

can't wait to see the Cardo EDGE review 👍

[@georgehgordy1690]

From $100 for the spirit and $150 for the HD a year ago and now the spirit is $170 and the spirit HD is $249. That's a hell of a price hike in one year

[@Runawaygeekchannel]

I think the Duo is $250, as in you get 2 in the box for pillion.

[@georgehgordy1690]

@@Runawaygeekchannel I went with the cardo freecom 4X

[@David..]

In hindsight I wish I spent the few extra bucks for the Freecom 2x over the Spirit HD. The Spirit HD is okay but the volume has to be maxed out while using it, earplugs, and a full face helmet and for music it sounds extremely flat. You can listen to music on it but really takes a lot of the fun out so I just use it for directions and phone calls.

[@antoniocliffuk]

You're absolutely right. I look forward to riding with music, when the wife isn't on the back. I'm not only disappointed but bloody annoyed at the screeching awful treble only sound. I wonder is it the unit or the speakers, can they be upgraded?

[@williamgales479]

I'm sorry to potentially correct but I'm sure now (2 years down the line - it actually states that the JBL 45 speaker upgrade is compatible (according to Cardo's own website at least)). Correct me if wrong. But no longer is the JBL speaker upgrade limited to the Freecom variant/system.

[@RevZilla]

You’re not wrong, we mentioned that in a few other comments as well on here. A rolling change by Cardo that we love to see!

[@TheRedrider05]

Holy moly! Ive never been this early before! And it just so happens i am in the market for a headset.

[@antoniocliffuk]

Purchased spirit duo as the HD wasn't available here via Lazada, Philippines. As a replacement for my Parani M10's I am very disappointed at the audio quality which can only be described as APPALLING. A total lack of bass results in a painful treble sound. Also there is a delay noticeable between rider and passenger, more noticeable when a horn can be heard TWICE. I fail to understand why a company produces such a bad entry level product as the purchaser is unlikely to consider the higher priced item when upgrading. As an entry level headset at a similar cost (if not cheaper) the Parani M10 wins hands down. If back home in the UK these would have been returned immediately, unfortunately here in the Philippines you pay your money and tough...No returns.

[@DCHAP4505]

Agree somewhat with you. At speeds of 0 -55 mph the speakers are ok?...Nothing to bragg about though. And that's with the volume maxed out in a full-face helmet with ear plug protection...above that a waste of battery power because you'll barely hear your music. And yes, there is a 1-2 second delay when using the intercom. I may try the JBL upgrade speakers after I do more research to see if their worth the extra money/price!!

[@TylerTron21]

Any clarification from Cardo as to why the JBL speakers "won't work"? These would be perfect for my dirtbike helmets that already have the upgraded JBL speakers in them. Swapping over headsets is a pain. Is it an impedance issue? Because they use the same headphone jack. I understand the amp in these is different, but it should still "work" with any speakers within the amps nominal impedance.

[@aaronventura4577]

I just bought the spirit, not hd, for my passenger. I bought the 45 mm JBL speakers for my pactalk bold and switched my 40 mm JBL speakers to the spirit. It worked great but I also used the QR code from the 45 mm to unlock the extra audio feature on the spirit. So I'm not sure if it would work without the QR code or not.

[@TylerTron21]

@@aaronventura4577 I would expect the QR code to not work for the Spirit. Interesting that it does! Do you have a multimeter to test the impedance on the leads for the spirit speakers and the JBL speakers?

[@MartinDoubek_ArnieX]

I think it supports JBL speakers because Cardo is selling JBL FREECOM/SPIRIT second helmet kit and I see no reason why it wouldn't be compatible as it is regular 3,5mm jack speakers, you could theoretically connect it to any device with 3,5mm jack output. But I agree that there is no reason to get Spirit and buy JBL speakers. I have got FREECOM 4X currently and I have to say it is superb!

[@patrickmchugh8039]

Keep in mind, JBL speakers are not just a 3.5mm jack away from being used with any device - its all a software EQ factor that the higher end units have. But from what we are hearing, Cardo has already ran a firmware update to make the Spirit's work with the JBL speakers.

[@Omar411269]

The only reason I could think of that would make this not work with the JBL speakers is if they require more power to drive than the headunit can provide. But that seems extremely unlikely

[@sesarman]

Why wouldn't these be compatible with the JBL speakers? Isn't it a regular headphone jack output?

[@levixxkilsslevixxkilss6434]

No it's usb c for as far as I know, but just use a usb c to usb c and aux splitter and your fine

[@kellyalmanzar6023]

Jbl speakers are compatible with both

[@williamgales479]

According to Cardo's own website yes it is. So either that wasn't the case at the time of recording or the reviewer didn't quite research correctly. Anyhow I have added a comment to question such the point.

[@raftech7514]

Great Review, thanks for it !

[@pimenas]

cardo universal mode requires the other device to be in phone pairing mode.... which of course won't allow the other device to call. Tried universal mode between Cardo Spirit HD and Sena SMH5-FM. and it doesn't work any good, besides that only one device can initiate the call when connected the volume on the Sena is too low to allow communication in anything but really low speeds.

The JBL speakers is possible tho, I used a usb c to usb c + aux splitter and connected my jbl speakers and cardo speakers to it(so I have 4 speakers) and It works like a charm, just bought it on Amazon for like 10€

[@ayechapin1]

I have a dumb question... are these products compatible between them? Ei: spirit, freecom, bold, etc.? Thanks

[@RevZilla]

Never any dumb questions. Units from the same brand (Cardo & Cardo or Sena & Sena) will communicate together. You just need to make sure that both items are either Bluetooth or Mesh capable, because Mesh won't chat (for the most part) with Bluetooth and vice versa. It's also when you start mixing brands (ie Sena & Cardo) that communication is *possible*, but not very reliable.

[@Weltap]

Can a rider with the packtalk bold still bridge a unit like this into their mesh group?

[@KungSaanKaPoMasaya]

Yeah. I want to know if this spirit device can connect to a PTBold host. If it can only hear the host, not the other devices.

[@patrickmchugh8039]

Yeah you should still be able to. The Packtalk Bold is the main factor there and it would treat the Spirit like every other BT connection, then linking them into the Mesh conversation. Nothing is really needed from the Spirit's-side of the equation apart from standard BT comm tech which is it has.

[@Oliver-fi4hd]

Also wondering this! A friend wants to buy this model to join me and another friend that we both have freecom 4+. If one of us (freecom 4+) act as bridge, would it be possible for the Spirit to join the group?

Yes, they have been for ages. Cardo themselves state that they are compatible which makes the spirit HD model pointless unless you are happy with 40mm standard (instead of JBL) HD audio and more ear space/clearance.

[@RadDadisRad]

So why do you say that the JBL 45mm won’t work with this unit? As an analog device this will most certainly work the issue is output. I don’t know if the Spirit unit will have enough power to drive the entire range of the speaker. That being said that’s easily remedied with an inline audio amplifier.

[@patrickmchugh8039]

The JBL partnership is something that needs a built in equalizer to get the performance out of the speakers, so the internal tech of the unit was the restrictive when tested. At this point, Cardo may have already built a firmware update for the spirits to allow it

How is the quality of the sound when you are talking to someone via intercom and your running around 80kph? Some intercoms are having issues when you are running more than 80kph.

Sorry but this is definitely not a review. Not a single functionality has been tested. Bluetooth 5.2 should provide quicker, more stable connectivity and superior sound.

I've purchased the entire line of products and returned all of them. I was hoping for this review to test at least the basic functionalities, including pairing to motorcycles since recent bikes often offer some kind of connectivity (see Suzuki, Honda, BMW, Ducati, ..).
