Exploring the tech behind the Beyond GTS Helmet | Cardo Sound Labs Trip – Part 2

This is where things get seriously technical. In Part 2 of the Cardo Germany trip, we go behind the scenes at Cardo Sound Labs in Straubing — getting up close with the R&D that’s shaping the all-new Beyond GTS helmet. From speaker placement and rider ergonomics to the insane level of testing behind audio quality, this isn’t just guesswork… it’s precision engineering. We dive into how Cardo measures real-world sound inside a helmet, why most riders are unknowingly running their comms wrong, and the lengths they’ve gone to fix it. And then there’s the big one — active noise cancelling in a motorcycle helmet. Sounds simple… until you introduce wind. This is the detail you don’t normally see — and the reason this helmet could change the game. Part 3 coming soon.
