Cardo gave their intercoms a solid update and in the Freecom X-series this translates amongst others in the Bluetooth system that is available under the name 'Live Bluetooth Intercom’ offers high audio quality and reconnects when necessary.
The Freecom 4X is aimed at motorcyclists who want to communicate with three colleagues and/or passengers. The lovers of the better group conversation on two wheels, in other words. That is perfectly possible, because the excellent sound quality is remarkable, thanks to the Live Bluetooth but also to the JBL speakers. Through the latter the heavenly sounds of music from the built-in FM radio are driven deliciously into your ear.
With the Freecom 4X you can stay connected up to 1200 meters away.
The newest communication line of Cardo is one that can be updated without USB cable or laptop. This Freecom 4X keeps itself up to date and uses the Cardo Connect app. And Bluetooth, but in the world of intercoms that is already a standard feature. The new update possibilities are called 'over the air software update'.

General note: The electronics world (which also includes intercoms, smartphones, GPS, etc.) is changing so quickly that some (outdated) devices may not be compatible in certain areas. Unfortunately, the manufacturer cannot provide us with data that shows which combinations between intercoms/GPS and/or smartphones cause problems. A regular update of all electronic devices is therefore desirable to avoid problems as much as possible.
