Love it!
This review is for the Freecom 2+. I've had the unit for about a week now and I've really been loving it. I was worried after reading lots of reviews of various Sena and Cardo products that it might not be loud enough. I ride a Ducati Supersport 939 with a fairly loud pipe (no catalytic converter) and I wear Hearos Xtreme ear plugs. I have tested this up to 150km/h and the music was still audible and I had a phone call around 130km/h which was also incredibly clear. At slower speeds it's even better.
I have an Arai helmet and found a video on YouTube of the best spot to mount the speakers, I'd suggest doing the same for your helmet. For my Arai it is actually inside the cheek pad, you remove both sides and then the fabric is just a cover that pulls off and there is a great spot inside for the Velcro. Then you just pull the fabric back over and reinstall the cheek pads.
I went with Cardo instead of Sena because they are more transparent with their specifications and you know what you are getting. Be aware the Freecom series does not have the same specs as the Freecom + and I couldn't tell you how they compare.
To top it off, Cardo is selling a larger JBL speaker which you can upgrade to. Honestly the speakers are loud and clear enough but I might have to buy the JBL's just to see the full potential.
Love the headset, best money I've spent on my bike. Couldn't go back to not having it.

Works as expected.
Light weight, battery lasts a very long time, sound quality is good. Waterproof and well constructed. I haven't yet used all the features but it works perfectly for music and GPS prompts from the bike.

Good value
A great basic com system. Easy to install and impressive sound from included speakers. Highly recommended if looking for a no frills system.

Functional, slick design
Installed on my daughter's HJC i10 helmet. Installation went without drama. Pairs easily with phones, and works well with my Packtalk (BT mode). Sound is on par with the non-JBL Packtalk, and the feature-set also includes FM radio. Voice commands are hit-and-miss.. just like on my Packtalk, so I'm pushing buttons instead. FortNine offered the best price, and shipping was quick as usual.

Works as intended
Had them for a month. Works well including opening the mic for talking to passenger, but still haven’t figured how to connect phone and passenger every time without fiddling with buttons.

Very happy !
First time user of a Bluetooth headset, wanted to keep to a budget , very happy with the performance, easy installation and sound quality and volume is great.
Initially installed in HJC IS2 Max.
Only complaint, terminals on unit are exposed and have potential for easy damage
I would recommend , once connected to the base plate leave it on and charge on the helmet.

Expected more
After reading a number of reviews I thought this might be perfect. I've installed it in my Shoei J Cruise 11. And find volume levels to be very low. Perhaps it would perform better in a full face helmet.

Je m'attendais à mieux selon les revues
J'ai acheté cet ensemble le mois dernier, et la mise en route était complexe, le manuel d'utilisation fourni peu convivial et peu naturel à décoder.
La liaison avec le passager n'est pas toujours claire, de nombreuses interférences sont perçues, et lorsqu'il se met en pause, seul le conducteur peut le réactiver par la voie, amenant le passager à parler dans le vide régulièrement. Excellente autonomie des batteries.

Questions
I have a cardio packtalk bold. I want to get this for my passenger, I’m assuming it should work together?
Yup

I have a HJC helmet that is bluetooth capable (apparently with the chatterbox brand). Will this unit also fit in the slot on the side of my helmet? (CL-MAX 2)
No, the unit you are referring to is specifically designed to fit into the recess of selected HJC models, and this unit is not designed specifically for the recess of these helmets. However, it is possible to install the Freecom 2 on most helmets, including modular helmets, although the installation may be a bit trickier.

Yes, it will connect to the Uclear devices and any other major brand of comms unit. You can only connect with 1 other rider using the Freecom 2 device.

I am trying to understand the specs for a Freecom 2+ headset. Is this just the same as a freecom 1+ headset with larger range. (distance between the two people) ?
Look at the Cardo Comparison Chart in the Description.
It seems like the freecom 2+ has better speakers and better range than freecom 1+

Is this a set of two i.e. for two riders or just the one i.e. I have to buy quantity of two for two riders? thank you
The Cardo Freecom 2+ is sold in either a Single-Pack or Dual-Pack format. The "Single-Pack" format includes a single cardo system for a single rider, whereas the "Dual-Pack" includes two complete Cardo systems to equip two riders.
You can select the format of your preference from the "Options" drop-down menu on the product page above.
