Not bad
I bought the Freecom 4+ and immediately went on a 4500 km trip with it. My brother bought a Freecom 1 at the same time. I went with the 4+ for the JBL speakers. The good: the JBL speakers are very good if you can get them in a good position. I put them at the top of the straps tucked half tucked behind the cheek pads and they sound great. No audio complaints phone calls worked well. The OK: the “hey Siri” is inconsistent sometimes worked great other times I was screaming in my helmet trying to get her. Once you do it works pretty good change playlists or make a call with voice commands. She’ll even read text messages and responses. It has never responded to “hey cardo” once. Not sure how to work that. The Bad: the multifunction dial on the bottom sucks! It’s way to sensitive. I just touch it and it shuts the music off. I also mounted it on the bottom edge of my helmet and slight contact with my jacket turns the music up and down. Shoulder checks equal really loud or really quiet music depending which way I look!
I am going to put this as “recommended” because over all I don’t regret buying it. “But!” If you are buying one know that it is not a fine tuned piece of kit, it can be frustrating to use at times!
Ride safe out there!!

Good Unit
Works very well. JBL speakers are good not sure aftermarket speakers would not be better. Have read that intercom gets wonky trying to switch back from, but Cardo very good to deal with.

Very nice unit with a couple small issues.
It’s a nice unit and install want pretty good but I think there too much wire. Just don’t need that much for a helmet so you are trying to find places to hide it. Audio is clear and voice prompts work well with my iPhone, weird thing though. When trying the phone at home it really doesn’t work well but on the road it’s great so whatever, likely something that’s normal. Haven’t had a chance to try intercoms though. Wired mic don’t work but boom mic’s do, a little frustrating but Cardo is sending replacements. Be carful with Velcro pads and use the 3M one on the helmet and the others on the padding....

Va tres bien !
Jai acheté cet article le mois dernier (2 kit) nous avons eu beaucoup de difficulté a tout jumeler ensemble, une chance qu’ il y avait un bon tutoriel sur youtube ! Bonne qualité sonore. Parfois lors de nos conversation, le son se met a couper, il faut donc éteindre l’appareil et le rallumer pour que tout se replace, malgré ces petits default, je recommande cet article.

Cardo freecom
1st thing I have to say is the shipping, of the products is always amazing and fast . Keep up the great work!!
I’m now on the 3rd type of cardo devices since 2008 and I feel that the sound has gotten better and better as well as the battery life on the cardo systems , this one that I have bought is nice and sleek, I’m concerned about how it clips into the base , and is not very easy to use,example the radio operation for going channel to channel is difficult and not the best, and I thought that wheel would be better to use when adjusting volume... it’s super sensitive ( if you press up it turns off the radio!!! Lol not cool at all)
The talk time is amazing as is the the clearness of sound when talking on the phone or to my passenger ( ie my amazing wife .. and let me tell you we ride 8 to 10 hour days ) and the battery life on this set is great.
Would I recommend this model of cardo NO !!!
Sorry to say but I wish that I had gone for the
Cardo pac-talk model !
