SOUNDS LIKE SUMMER

Cardo brings the sound. You bring the ride. Find out how we make every summer ride sound better.

YOUR RIDE. YOUR SOUNDTRACK.

Riding clears the head. Music fuels the ride. Nearly half of Cardo riders say music is their soundtrack — turning every journey into something more.

That’s why our audio is built for the road: clear at speed, full of depth, and never blocking out what matters.
Whatever your style — rock, techno, lo-fi — music just hits different on two wheels. Because the road has its own rhythm, and you’re riding it.

FAQ

Speaker placement makes a huge difference. For the best sound:

  • Insert the speakers into your helmet.
  • Put the helmet on and gently feel inside — make sure the speakers align directly with your ears.
  • If needed, move the speakers slightly outside the built-in cavity to better match your ear position.

AGC automatically adjusts your volume based on your environment.
A built-in mic detects ambient noise and adapts the speaker volume accordingly. It also fine-tunes mic sensitivity and reduces background noise for clearer intercom and phone calls.

Inside the Cardo Connect app, you can pick from these profiles:

  • ON – Default balanced profile
