Cardo45mm Audio Set, Works with Most Helmet Communicators (Single Pack)

I'm conflicted about this review. First, i own a Cardo Spirit HD headset (two of them actually) which comes with JBL speakers. They're 40mm, so a bit smaller than these.Cardo has an app to download firmware and control your headset.Like all motorcycle comms, the price was outrageous. I will never know why they're so expensive. It's bluetooth. And 2 speakers. You can do all that and more for 20 bucks. Want it in a helmet?Five thousand dollars.Anyway, the Cardo app has sound profiles that you can switch between like "bass boost" or "high volume".Except they don't work. They're THERE, but they're greyed out.How do you get access to them?Buy these speakers of course!99 dollar pay wall for audio access.With that said, these ARE an upgrade. Bigger drivers means better sound. It always has, and always will.Yes, paying another hundred bucks to get what you should've already got kinda sucks, but a helmet and comms will run you 6 million dollars nowadays, so what's another hundred right?TL;DR-Should be standard, but it's not. Absolutely worth the price. Better sound, higher volume, EQ controls unlocked.

These earphones have significantly better sound than the smaller 35mm ones that came with my Cardo BlueTooth helmet system. They are a direct replacement for the smaller speakers. My helmet is an AGV TourModular. The speakers are loud, have good full range sound and do not seem to distort. I listen to Hard Rock Heavy Metal when riding and these larger speakers are a significant improvement over the tinny - plastic sound of the smaller drivers. I am certain you will be happy with this product - I just wish they included them with the original AGV Insyde system.

UPDATE: I upraded helmets from the Bell Qualifier DLX which has a mesh/fabric flap that covers the speakers, to a Shoei RF-SR that places the speaker directly on your ear without it being covered. The speakers sound AMAZING, very clear and bassy, and I don't have to turn the volume up as much now. Definitely make sure it's not your helmet or the positioning first.I have the Cardo Spirit HD with 40mm speakers, and decided I'd upgrade to these for better sound quality and hopefully volume. If you already have the Spirit HD speakers, these are not an upgrade. They're quieter, the sound profiles are somehow worse (less bass,) and the price just isn't worth it. They do have slightly crisper sound at lower volumes, but I would recommend just keeping the HD speakers, they're about the best you're gonna get from Cardo.If you're upgrading from other speakers, these ARE good, they aren't low quality at all, and the sound is clear. It gets muddy at high volume, but most other speakers probably do that. I think the price would be worth it if I was upgrading from lower quality speakers.

I bought a set of these 45mm JBL/Cardo speakers to try in a new LS2 helmet. I already have the Cardo Freecom 4x comm device that is equipped with the 40mm JBL speakers. The LS2 Drifter helmet comes with large speaker pockets that allowed these speakers to fit without modification. Compared to the 40mm JBL's, the 45mm's are a bit fuller and richer in sound, and that certainly makes a difference inside a helmet. The bass is also a touch heavier. They also play a touch louder at equal volume levels. Are they worth the extra cost? I bought a set of Used-Like New for $74, so I'm satisfied with the purchase and results.

A good step above the 40 mm using Cardo edge more bass and powerful sound. Seem to be worth the upgrade. Just make sure to position them right against your ear to get the best benefit! Installed in a shoei RF 1400.

Might be slightly louder then 40mm. Hard to tell. But they work well came with extra set of foam covers

These things are bad ass. I have Airpod Pro’s which have phenomenal sound quality, and I am very particular as I really appreciate exceptional sound quality. Huge upgrade. These things rival or maybe even sound better than the Airpods, and definitely have a much higher max volume. I don’t understand the negative reviews. I highly recommend.

I bought these hoping that they would be better than the stock speakers that came with my Cardo Freecom 4+. I was very wrong. These are so bad, they are actually worse than what came with my kit and not only that they were a lot thicker in the helmet so they made it very uncomfortable.Still can't hear my music and I have a stock quiet exhaust on my motorcycle.
