Cardo FRC1P001 - FREECOM 1 Plus Motorcycle 2-Way Bluetooth Communication System Headset - Black, Single Pack

Product Information

It comes with the most modern intercom communication technology, with both Bluetooth 4.1 and Dynamic Mesh tech support. We can’t deny that the maximum range won’t be attained at most times, but only a select few rival the accessibility brought to the table. Most likely, if you’re in the market for a motorcycle headset, you already know the device has the ability to completely revolutionize your ride. These cutting-edge cruise companions ensure clear communication between you and your passenger or fellow riders while simultaneously giving you easy access to your phone, music and navigation system. But, with so many choices and features available, how do you know how to find the best motorcycle headset for your needs ? Unlike many headsets, bass is deep and meaty, the mid-range section for vocals is clear and precise and the top-end is accurate and detailed.

I generally leave my phone on shuffle when listening to music and I have an eclectic taste, with music from six decades and everything sounds superb with no distortion or unbalanced staging. It really does sound superb and call quality is also excellent, at both ends. It’s easy to connect and the sound quality is excellent thanks to the JBL speakers. The ‘Natural Voice’ control works very well, meaning you don’t have to take your hands off the bars to control it and once paired with the smartphone app, you can update it over the air and tailor a range of parameters. This responsive voice control system is quite convenient if you don’t want to ride with one hand or operate the headset with gloves. Additional Features

The best Bluetooth motorcycle headsets are the ones that keep you safe. Getting to and from your destination safe and sound should be your first priority when shopping for a motorcycle Bluetooth headset. This includes being able to communicate with your companions and loved ones without taking your eyes off the road. The device should also hold up in every situation so you stay focused on what’s in front of you instead of looking down at your cell phone or GPS. Keep these tips in mind to find the perfect communication system for your needs. The biggest let down for me is that it is not possible to speak with pillion on intercom AND both listen to music at the same time. Unfortunately, I was misled by the official Cardo Systems YouTube video "Spirit Line Full Tutorial", which claims that the product supports simulatenous music sharing and intercom, or at the least strongly implies it (from 23:27). The Interphone is great, works well over a long range, and lasts all day on tours but can't connect to units from other manufacturers, when it drops out it has to be manually reconnected, and must be plugged into a computer to receive software updates. The Cardo Freecom 4X is a 2-way wideband Bluetooth communication system with powerful 40mm HD speakers engineered to perfection by JBL experts, with specially tuned music processors and three distinctive audio profiles, making your riding experience exceptional. Operation is easy with the always-on Natural Voice, just say "hey Cardo" and tell it what you want to do, your Freecom 4X does the rest. Live Bluetooth gives exceptional quality along with an Auto-Reconnect facility for two riders up to a range of 1.2km / 0.75mi. Being waterproof and dust-proof, no matter what you throw at it, the Freecom 4X will take the beating and keep you connected - rain, shine, mud, dust or snow. Universal connectivity allows connection to any other major brand Bluetooth headset.

This is my first time with bike comms, so I have nothing to compare them to, but I'm very happy and, as ever, SBS brilliant. Simple saying “Hey Cardo…” much like instigating Siri on an Apple iPhone causes the system to perform certain tasks simply by saying them out loud. Unlike Siri, you can’t just say whatever you want but must use pre-programmed phrases but they are easy to remember. Or, just pair your phone then open a WeTransfer call, or Discord, or the new Chain app from Ruroc to talk to any number of other riders regardless of where they are in the world, let alone on the same road. As long as they have a data connection, it doesn’t matter what intercom they use. Casual Casual wear for motorcycle riders, t-shirts, hoodies, jeans, shoes and caps from top brands such as KTM and Ducati. Look great off your bike as well as on, with all the latest branded gear, the perfect fashion additions for any biker’s wardrobe.

Do You Want Voice Operation Functionality? — You shouldn’t have to manually reset your device every time you want to talk to your friends or look at the GPS. It’s important to keep your hands on the bars at all times. That’s why most riders prefer to use a hands-free headset. You can communicate with the device using just your voice. This helpful guide from Cardo Systems can help you determine which motorcycle headset is the best for you. From jamming out during a solo ride to communicating with your ride group, we have the perfect product for you. Of course, the quality of your helmet will dictate the sound quality. If your helmet puts in a lot of wind noise (usually happens when you are riding above 50 mph), it will be harder to enjoy the superior sound quality. Well, that’s how it is with most other Bluetooth headsets too.
