Comm System Advice (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Hi guys I just bought an HJC I71 helmet and because its a bit tighter fit then my previous helmet, I wont be able to use my IsoTune earphones anymore. I looked into getting a comm system for this purpose and a guy at my local shop recommended Cardo. Im split between Freecom 2x or going down the integrated route with HJC 21b. Can you recommend any of these or advise against? Thanks

I debated purchasing an integrated comm for my first nice helmet, a Shoei Neotec. I am glad I went to a standalone unit instead. That helmet did not end up working out for me and I was able to move my comm to my next helmet. Otherwise, I would have been stuck with two very expensive paper weights.

That's a valid point

I'd say go for the cardo, if you have any buds who you'd ride with, go for a mesh one if you have the budget. Freecom is a good pick if you don't think you'll connect w other riders much 👍

Im getting it mostly for the music. I don't have anyone to ride with.

Gotcha, in that case I'd say either go for whichever is cheaper, or go for the cardo with the JBL speaker upgrade.

Thank you! I think I will go down this route
