Cardo Refresh Kit replacement pads & mounts for PACKTALK / FREECOM X / Spirit — speaker sponges, glue plates, Velcro

Cardo Refresh KIT renews worn speaker pads, microphone sponges, Velcro and glue plates so your PACKTALK, FREECOM X or Spirit helmet system performs and feels like new.

Over time, helmet communication kits collect sweat, dust and wear that reduce comfort and audio clarity. This Refresh KIT from Cardo supplies the everyday replacement parts you need to restore fit, hygiene and reliable mounting without buying a whole new headset. The set is organized to support different speaker sizes, multiple microphone styles and the specific glue plates used across the PACKTALK, FREECOM X and Spirit product lines.

Which replacement pieces are included and why do they matter?

The kit bundles consumables and mounting accessories so you can swap only what’s worn. Replacing pads and sponges refreshes comfort and acoustic coupling; fresh glue plates and Velcro restore a secure attachment inside the helmet.

• 2 cleaning pads for gentle maintenance of speaker surfaces
• Glue plates: one Freecom plate, one PACKTALK plate, one Packtalk EDGE/Neo/Custom plate
• Velcro: two square and two rectangular pieces for secure mounting
• Stickers for 32 mm and 40 mm speakers to stabilize placement

How does the kit support different speaker sizes and mic types?

This refresh pack covers the common speaker diameters and microphone formats used across Cardo’s helmet systems. It includes sponges and stickers tailored for 32 mm through 45 mm speakers plus multiple microphone sponge shapes to match boom and wired mics.

• 2 sponges sized for 32 mm speakers
• 2 sponges sized for 45 mm speakers (suitable for many 40 mm applications)
• 1 large hybrid microphone sponge for boom mics
• 1 regular hybrid microphone sponge for smaller booms
• 1 sponge for wired microphone models

How do I install the replacement parts quickly?

Installation is straightforward and requires no special tools: clean the mounting area, peel and stick the new glue plate or Velcro, position the speaker or mic sponge, then run a quick system check. Replacements are designed to match original mounting points and contours for a fast swap.

• Use the included cleaning pads before attaching any new adhesive parts
• Align glue plates to the original footprint for correct speaker placement
• Press Velcro firmly to helmet liner or speaker cup for a secure bond
• Test audio and mic pickup after installation to confirm correct orientation

Will replacing these parts improve sound and hygiene?

Fresh pads and sponges restore the intended distance between speaker and ear, which can improve perceived clarity and reduce muffled tones. Swapping worn hygiene parts also cuts down on bacteria and sweat buildup, making the headset more comfortable on longer rides.

• New speaker sponges help maintain the correct acoustic gap
• Fresh mic sponges reduce wind noise and protect the capsule
• Replacement Velcro and glue plates prevent speaker shifting inside the helmet

Who is this for: The Cardo Refresh KIT is designed for riders who already own a PACKTALK, FREECOM X or Spirit series headset and want a cost-effective way to maintain peak comfort, hygiene and mounting reliability. It’s ideal for frequent riders, touring enthusiasts, or anyone who prefers replacing worn consumables rather than purchasing a full replacement unit.
