Cardo Refresh KIT replacement pads & glue plates for PACKTALK / FREECOM X / Spirit — restores fit, comfort & audio

The Cardo Refresh KIT is a complete replacement set of pads, sponges, Velcro strips and glue plates designed to restore fit, comfort and audio performance to PACKTALK, FREECOM X and Spirit communication units.

Over time foam, adhesive and ear pad components on helmet communication systems compress, wear or lose stickiness, which can degrade comfort and sound pickup. The Cardo Refresh KIT supplies the most commonly replaced parts so you can freshen your Cardo device without buying a whole unit. Everything is arranged to make swapping worn parts quick and intuitive — ideal for regular riders, rental fleets or anyone who wants crisp audio and a snug, reliable fit.

What parts are included and why do they matter?

The kit bundles cleaning pads, glue plates for specific Cardo models, multiple Velcro shapes, foam speaker sponges and microphone covers. These pieces restore the physical interface between the unit, helmet and rider, improving noise isolation and microphone placement.

• 2 cleaning pads for removing dust and residual adhesive.
• Glue plates: one Freecom plate, one PACKTALK plate and one plate for Packtalk EDGE/Neo/Custom models.
• Velcro: two square and two rectangular strips for secure mounting options.
• Speaker sponges: two for 32mm and two for 45mm speakers (also compatible with 40mm speakers).
• Microphone sponges: large and regular hybrid boom sponges plus one for wired mics.
• Stickers: two for 32mm speakers and two for 40mm loudspeakers to reinforce adhesion.

How will this kit improve my PACKTALK or FREECOM X unit?

Replacing aged foam and adhesive with fresh components helps recover sound clarity, restores microphone positioning and reduces rattles or air leaks inside the helmet. The right sponge thickness and fresh glue keep speakers and mics aligned to your ear and mouth for consistent performance.

• Fresh speaker sponges reduce vibration and restore bass response.
• New mic covers improve breath-noise control and wind shielding.
• Model-specific glue plates ensure correct attachment to Cardo housings.
• Velcro and stickers give reliable, repeatable mounting after servicing.

Which models and speaker sizes does the Refresh KIT fit?

The kit is tailored for Cardo PACKTALK family units, FREECOM X series and Spirit headsets. It supports multiple speaker diameters commonly used across these models, making it a versatile service pack for mixed fleets or households with different Cardo devices.

• Includes sponges for 32mm and 45mm speaker sizes; compatible with 40mm speakers as noted.
• Contains distinct glue plates for Freecom, Packtalk and Packtalk EDGE/Neo/Custom models.
• Velcro and stickers fit standard Cardo mounting points.
• Microphone sponges cover both boom and wired microphone types.

How difficult is installation and what tools are needed?

Installing parts from the Refresh KIT is straightforward and can be completed with minimal tools. Basic cleaning, adhesive replacement and foam swaps are typically done in under 30 minutes per unit by following simple steps.

• Use the included cleaning pads to prep surfaces before applying glue plates and stickers.
• No special tools required beyond a small screwdriver if your mounting system uses screws.
• Press-and-hold adhesive surfaces firmly during curing for best bond strength.
• Swap speaker sponges and mic covers by removing the old foam and fitting the new pieces to shape.

Who is this for: The Cardo Refresh KIT is intended for riders, shops and rental operators who want to maintain or refurbish PACKTALK, FREECOM X and Spirit communication units without purchasing replacements. If you notice flattened sponges, loose Velcro, weakened adhesives, or muffled audio, this kit gives you the essential components to restore comfort, stability and clearer sound in a single package.
