Very happy and impressed with our spirit HD duo.
Sound is crystal clear and we have no problems in hearing each other even at motorway speeds (we have volume level set quite low and it’s still perfectly clear and loud enough )
The microphones do a great job of eliminating wind and any other noises. They actually cut off and only reactive on voice vocal speech, this is great as it avoids wind noise and also other noises such as sniffles etc that are annoying on an open intercom. Sometimes this feature can lead to a split 2nd delay & from the 1st word being fully heard, But most of the time it works perfectly with no delay, but the occasional delay is a small price to pay for unit not to be picking up wind and any other white noise etc that can be annoying.
I think the spirit HD is great and for the money offers a quality bit of kit.
Outstanding tutorial. I just picked up the HD unit at my local bike accessory store and was able to follow your instructions quite easily to pair it and install the app.
Great video! Thanks! I wasn't sure which communicator to buy and how to use-it as it's my first, this video has clarified a lot of doubts.
just got mine instaled today works great just got the Spirit not the HD but it is still great and sounds really good when playing music and phone calls
well explained. great breakdown of the difference of spirit and hd
As a warning, the claim made around 23:55 that whilst sharing music, "if an intercom session were to open they would be able to talk over the top of that music" is incorrect. If you open an intercom session whilst sharing music, the second rider's music will stop. Similarly, if the intercom is open, if you start sharing music the intercom will close. Basically, you can't talk on intercom and both listen to music at the same time.
I found this to be true. The Spirit HD is fabulous, but this was disappointing. I got the duo set so my Wife and I could talk on a long two-day ride last weekend, it was a game changer being able to communicate while riding. But on day 2 we decided to listen to some music while heading back, but with the music on, the intercom session ended. We spent nearly an hour stopping in the middle of nowhere trying to figure it out, even coming to this video to see if I was doing something wrong. I gave up and we stuck to music - having my wife tap my shoulder if she needed anything. Cardo, let us know if we are missing something. Other than this, I will still recommend the unit, just with this one caveat.
I have the same problem, can’t talk and listen to music at the same time , hope they solve this problem in the next update maybe
Profissionalismo! Tudo explicado ao pormenor de forma sucinta e acertada.
Muito bem.
Thanks for this great tutorial! My only concern which may be a challenge, is to operate two buttons at the same time while riding. If not for that, I would seriously consider these. Thanks again.
That was the first thing I noticed, too. Reminds me of the 70's.
@@wb4514 Exactly...
Good to know! Thanks for the feedback!
@@CardoSystemsGlobal
Definitely. Should consider allowing custom mapping of controls. I’d much rather play pause be the same button like every other Bluetooth device I’ve used.
Very usefull and complete video. All i needed to know and camera angles where good 👍🏻
Gongatulations for this exellent video!
23:59 says that we can talk over music sharing. But we can't seem to get it working! And I've read many forums that, you can only share music but not "talk while sharing music". I feel like I was scammed. Because I bought this so that my me and my back ride could talk while sharing music. Please help.
I just got the cardo spirit duo and I'm having the same problem. If I open the channel to talk to the passenger, she can't hear the music anymore. Then I have to close the channel so she can keep hearing the music. This will be very inconvenient. Will this happen on a phone call as well? Will she be able to participate on a phone call? Is there a way to share music AND have a conversation at the same time?
Just fitted the Spriti to my helmet today and can honestly say it's awesome! Simple to use and sounds great even on standard 32mm speakers. I will be upgrading to the JBL speakers when I can though. Fantastic comms unit with the simplicity of use! What more could we ask for.
Did you end up upgrading? Is it worth the cost
@@Raj3w3ls I didn’t. I found the standard speakers are more than adequate. I changed to the Cardo packtalk comms system which came with the 40mm speakers but opted to keep the speakers that came with the Spirit as imo they sounded better.
Thanks for the breakdown. I got the HD version coming in the mail for my wie and I. I've used sena in the past but hoping these will be just as good if not better. Love the price point on them for sure!
How was it?
@@jenqq8514 I only use it for music. It's great-ish my helmet allows a lot of noise to come through so it might work better on less noisy helmets. But for music it's awesome and no need to upgrade to those 40mm jbl speakers that are like 80 bucks. Trust me, the make the music less loud but more bass. I don't need bass, I want loud music while driving 180mph
@@Everlastandgreen that's with the non HD version? My girl just rides a grom so I feel it would be fine. I've used sena on a gsxr and it was great, but also like $350 lol. I just want music and a way to tell her to pull over lmao
@@PreludePower33 I got the HD. But I just want loud music and didn't want to spend $400 for a Cena
Thanks for all the great information in this video it was really appreciated. I’m going to order a spirit HD but my concern is that if I order the JBL 45 mm kit am I going to have all the function like equalizer or only the better sound. On the JBL compatibility list the spirit are not there so cannot rely on that. Thank you!
I’m going to use these for my ears
thank you for your excellent presentation
absolut perfect tutorial wanted to buy the cardo classic solo annd i'll do ! cuz it's perfect for my further use but good lord the number of activation i will have to remember is insane xD next time add some vocal control might be usefull to be easier to use/remember ! on all the rest u'r on top of perfection !
Excelent presentation. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Playlist is my jams.
Thanks for great explaination. 👍👍👍👍Now i can find it for me😁😁😁😁😁
It was helpful.
Hey what a great tuturiol.. you've made it simple..but still I need to know how to pair spirit HD as a universal intercom/ to pair with non- cardo units
Excellent.....
zo ik ben eruit goede uitleg cracias.
can use my jbl speakers from the packtalk slim on the spirit hd how would you go about getting the audio profiles for spirit hd so i can use the full potential of the jbl speakers
2 questions. Would either of these units auto reconnect in case a rider goes out of range?
Are the JBL speakers compatible on the these systems? Other sources says otherwise…
Thanks in advance
Hi Guys i wanted to ask about a feature called "audio multitasking" let's say I have the dual pack and connect one unit to each helmet. to me and my passenger. we are listening to music or the radio and someone is talking. the volume of the music drops to listen to the conversation and as soon as the conversation ends the volume of the music comes back; fully automatically without pressing any key or giving a voice command. thanks
How do you change the 3 sound profiles on the Spirit HD?
What would be the Live intercon function even has in the 2x and 4x thistle that it does not have in the HD thistle? Thank you.
Once I start sharing music and at a moment we open the chanel to speak with eachother the music stops... And when we close our talk, the music is also stop sharing and we need to activate it again. Is it normal? By the way, I have the Spirit HD. Many thanks.
Hopefully shipping won't get pushed again. Pre-ordered on 16 Nov. I've owned the Packtalk Bold along with the 45mm JBL speakers for a few years and wouldn't own any other brand. I've just recently discarded an older Cardo Scala Rider (duo set) that was finally ready to be replaced and this will be perfect for my pillion.
Hi Ron,
Thank you for contacting us, and we apologize for the inconvenience.
We are are currently working to ship all orders of the new Spirit line order ASAP.
We thank you for your understanding.
Cardo team
Can I still play music through my motorcycle and just use this strictly for intercom and answering phone calls?
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.
Can voice commands be set up to replace all that button pushing ?
i am going to need a list of all the button combinations laminated on my Snowmobile fuel tank 😂
After you open an intercom session, do you have to reopen every time that you need to communicate or does it stay open until you close it?
is it easy to operate the device when riding some of the functions call for holding the buttons or using two hands and there flat its got to be memorized what buttons do what and where they are.
do i need to connect 2 headsets? i cant seem to share music to another rider (my wife on pillion) and when i play music on my headset i lose the intercom connection.
Merci a l'avance
Heyho, can i record my Voice via my Phones built in Recorder while the Spirit is connected with my Phone via Bluetooth?
If i buy the JBL speakers, will it be compatible with a normal Spirit (non HD)? Will the JBL sound profile be available on the normal Spirit as well? Thanks
Hi! To Connect to the BMW TFT I should use the primary or the second phone paring option ? Or the GPS option?
Did you find out? I am struggling with that
I love that you offer FM even at this pricepoint in combination with bluetooth 5.2; something Sena is getting rid of so it seems :/ How's reception? Ive read it sometimes randomly switches between different frequencies and channels even though reception is good.
Maybe wishful thinking, but would it be possible to get DAB/DAB+ radio instead of FM?
When both units are paired and the intercom is open and with music playing can you just speak and the intercom works or do you have to actually press a button? I have Sena 20S and all you do is speak and the music cuts and the intercom starts is this the case with Spirit HD?
Is it normal to have an audio delay when using the intercom? Using the spirit duo.
How to switch between music sharing and bluetooth intercom? Thanks!
Hi Cardo Team,
I didnt understand if i can pair with my phone and heard google gps and at the same time pair with another rider? Love the product and the presentation. Regards
Up for this question.
How do we enable the parallel audio on bluetooth mode?
These look great, am I correct that the spirit line doesn't have voice control of the unit itself? Cheers guys keep up the good work
Hi MMC777,
Thank you for contacting us.
Yes, the Spirit line don't have natural voice operation but they do offer the option to use your phone voice assistant (OK Google or Siri) by pushing the phone button (page 4 of the pocket guide: ecs.page.link/3syYu).

Is this option also available for freecom 2x?
This is an amazing video but I think I'll ask someone to do it for me 😂
Is the cradle compatible with the Freecoms?
I have a spirit hd. A couple of people I am going to ride with have packtalk ede. Question if all the packtalk edges are connected with each other on a group ride, can I also connect with one of them with my spirit hd at the same time? I just want to stay connected to one of the other packtalks in the group whilst they are all connected with each other. Will that work?
Can I put this on my motocross helmet?
Are they capable of music sharing between the Spirit units?
I have a SPIRIT HD duo for me and my girlfirend. I plan to buy another one for my dad when he and I go touring together. Can I pair my unit to his unit or is one unit (my paried to my GS's unit) maximum? I will not use it with my dad and girlfriend at the same time. I just not want to pair units always when switching connection with my GF or father. Thanks.
i think that the only thing i dont like is having to press Forward+Down to pause music. would be nice to be able to set custom control layours in the app or something like that. id swap pause with the next song commands.
Would be way better to just be able to hold the play/next button to pause.
Hi I’m looking for a music streaming unit only would you recommend this with the updated 45 Jml speakers ?
Hi Andrew,
Thank you for reaching out.
All of our units feature music streaming.
Regarding the 45 mm, if you're interested in the full JBL sound experience, that's the way to go 😎.

Hey Cardo, my phone is bluetooth 5.1 will it NOT work for this 5.2 unit?
When we do music sharing, we cannot hear each other on the intercomm. But when we stop the music share we're able to talk and hear each other again. Am I supposed to click on anything so we can talk to each other on top of the playing music?
Same problem, did you had any answer ?
Same problem @Cardo Systems
hi cardo, i just install it to my helmet. but i cant pick up my incoming call by using the phone intercome button. it only pop up google assistant event there is incoming call. wether the phone or cardo setting but something is wrong with it. can u give me some advice regarding the case of my intercom. thank you
Thanks for presentation. But I’ve a problem, when I connecting with other one, the sound options button up and down doesn't work. I’ve a iphone but with android its work. I need help 😢
When I play music and have the intercom open, the music gets really jumpy and cuts in and out like there is a connection issue. Does anybody else have this problem?
Hi, congratulations for this nice video. Can spirit connect with multiple drivers, 3-4?
U can only connect to 1 other rider
does it have music sharing?
If you get any of the Cardo helmet systems and they don't come with the 45mm speakers do yourself a favor and upgrade to them. I can hear crystal clear at over 110mph on my Harley Low Rider S.
Just installed my HD , the app gave a lot of bother connecting but i seemed to have cracked it, but how can my passenger listen to the GPS instructions at the same time as me as I cant seem to get this sorted , I have a 550 tomtom.
Can this work with a Cardo Packtalk Bold? Looking for something for my passenger and I already have the Packtalk Bold. Thanks
Hi,
The Spirit line can connect to your Packtalk Bold via intercom Bluetooth.
Thank you,
Cardo Team.
Mine lasted 3 months. Wouldn’t turn off, so I did the factory reset and now it won’t turn on. Can’t find a phone number for Cardo anywhere.
Hello. Great video, just one question. Can the spirit get the same performance from the 45mm jbl speakers or only with the cardo x2?
can cardo packtalk bold share music with cardo spirit? thankyou for the answer
Can this connect to any other intercoms? Like from cardo to sena? Thank you.
My question too
@@michaeldale8914 my Cardo spirit will connect to my friends Sena 50 set fine, costing about a quarter the price.
Hello , thank you for this video, is there something to set up to activate the voice answear fonction as you did at 20:29 , it doesnt work for me and that is a very important fonction for me

how do i hook up the spirit to a cardo packtalk bold?
If I am riding solo and doesn't want to answer phone calls, can I NOT mount the microphone?
You can just reject a call from the unit, or I suppose you could put your phone on total silence before riding.
My cardo Spirit HD device muted from one moment to the next and I cannot unlock it, the bottom button pressed for 2 seconds does not unmute it, I don't know what to do, it seems to be a problem with the device.
I have already ruled out problems with the cell phone, with the application, with the pairing and with the wiring and base of the device.
does this spirit hd not have voice command?
If I mute it, will it pause my music until I unmute it?
Hi there i have the Spirit HD with 2 headsets so my wife and i can talk , only had it for a few days but when we were out it kept loosing contact between my wife and myself when we turned the units off , when we reconnected we found we couldn't talk ?
this may be user error and not used to the buttons etc but after looking at this video i have a question once paired do i have to press the Phone button every time we want to talk ? surely they should work when we speak? thanks T
I have the same problem with Spirit. Even if I reset both devices, It still not working. Both devices can connect with phones and work fine, but intercom with Rider A just not working. Sometimes only one user can hear from another, but the other one hears nothing. No matter we pair with app or using pairing button of devices directly.
I think it could be firmware issue (hope cardo answer our problem to confirm). looking forward Cardo fixes this with next firmware update soon.
@@soldatinconnu1804 I don’t know. Because my wife lost hers couple months ago… lol
Do I need to have both units paired to my phone??? OR are the units designated a & b ?? I have tried pairing the units and the one on my helmet always becomes the second unit even though I start the pairing on my unit. Thankfully we can talk to each other, but because I have my unit paired to my phone I cannot share the music with the second unit. Any advice welcome.
To share the instructions both on this video AND in the "full users manual" tell you to push BOTH the arrow & + buttons. I only need the + button to share AND un-share!!!

I said speed dial up but when I double tap it makes the noise but doesn't dial the number and I have that person set up
Does this work with TH-cam, Netflix, and other streaming apps?
Yes, I watched this video with the headset on :)
Really helpful video - thanks. Unfortunately, I just found out that my phone only has Bluetooth 4.2 as it is a few years old. Do you know if this is likely to be a problem? Will all the functionality still work ok?
Shouldn’t be a problem
My phone connects to the cardo but is not connecting to the app. How do I fix this?
When I share music with my pillion, our intercom stops. When I open our intercom music sharings stops. How can we fix this?We have Spirit HD Duo.
U find a solution?
@@JonathanPerez-yx2ym I found a workaround. I connect both intercoms to my Samsung phone and route music to both intercoms from my phone. It is a Samsung feature, I dont know if it is available on other phones.

Hi Cardo Team,
I have a Cardo Packtalk bold. I'm interested in buying the new Cardo Spirit for my wife. Will these two connect easily? If yes, is it through DMC or just bluetooth? Can't find any tutorial videos regarding the matter at the moment.
Hi Iryll Marco Pagdalian,
Thank you for reaching out.
Yes, all of our units are capable of connecting with each other via Bluetooth or DMC (for DMC supporting units). In your case, they will connect via Bluetooth as the Spirit units only have Bluetooth.

Packtalk will connect to any other open source Bluetooth comms unit, even those $40 Jabra Bluetooth handsfree phone earpieces. Except of course Sena, which are not open source, you have to connect through the BT phone connection. It's all in the Pocket guide.
Me and all of my friends have packtalk blacks and I was looking at getting the spirit for my wife as she does not ride as much, if I did get her a spirt would I be able to connect her to mine and still connect mine to all of my friends
Does it can pick up Whatsapp phone call?
am having a lot of problems with this thing. It only connects to one device at a time. When you connect to rider a the tomtom stops working. Volume when connected to the tomtom goes up and down. Connecting to my samsung phone produces static.
