Description

The Cardo Freecom 4X is Cardo's Bluetooth intercom for groups of up to four, sold here as a single unit. One headset, with its mount, speakers and microphone.

Four riders, not a crowd

Bluetooth intercom for up to four. If you ride in a small regular group this covers it without paying for mesh, and the trade is honest: Bluetooth needs re-connecting if somebody rides out of range, where mesh would heal itself.

Sound and voice

40 mm JBL speakers and Natural Voice operation, so you talk to it rather than reach for it. The same audio system Cardo put in units costing considerably more.

Fitting it to your helmet

It clamps to the helmet shell and installs at home on any helmet, with no modification and nothing that has to be wired in permanently.

Talking to other units and other brands

It connects to every other Cardo unit, and to other major brands such as Sena and Midland, over standard Bluetooth - so a group does not all have to be on the same badge. Older Cardo G and Q units need to be put into phone-pairing mode before you start. Music sharing is the one thing that does not cross brands.

It works where your phone does not

The intercom needs no cellular coverage and no data. It is a direct radio link between units, so it keeps working in the places that matter - a valley, a range, anywhere the phone has dropped out.

In the box

FAQ's

Is this one headset or two?
One headset. If you need to talk to a regular riding partner, the Duo pack is two of these and works out cheaper than buying twice.

How many riders can I talk to?
Up to four. If your group is regularly bigger than that, a mesh unit like the Packtalk Neo is the one that scales.

What happens if someone rides out of range?
Bluetooth needs to reconnect, unlike mesh which re-joins on its own. In a group of four riding together it rarely comes up.

Will it pair with a different brand of intercom?
Yes over Bluetooth, which is the common language between brands. Cardo's mesh features only work Cardo to Cardo, so a mixed group falls back to a standard Bluetooth connection.

Can I leave it on the helmet in the rain?
Yes - rated IP65, so rain and washdowns are fine. Bring the helmet indoors to charge and the unit will outlast the bike.

Will it connect to older Cardo units?
Yes, to every other Cardo unit, over standard Bluetooth pairing. Older G and Q units need to be put into phone-pairing mode first, then paired from your unit.

Can I listen to music and use the intercom at the same time?
Yes. Both run together, and the music volume drops automatically while someone is talking, then comes back up.

Why don't I get the full range quoted?
Quoted range is measured in open, line-of-sight conditions. Ridges, trees, buildings, powerlines and other wireless traffic all cut it down. Treat the number as the best case on an open road, not a guarantee in terrain.

How long does it take to charge?
Twenty minutes on the charger gives about two hours of talk time, which covers the morning you forgot to plug it in.

Can I charge it while I ride?
Yes. It charges while in use, so a power bank in a pocket or a powered outlet on the bike will keep it going through a long day.
