Our partnerships with leading headset brands offer native compatibility, making it easier than ever to stay safe while capturing high-quality footage.

Why Pair Insta360 X4 with a Headset?

The crystal-clear audio quality allows you to capture everything from conversations to road sounds directly through your headset, adding an immersive layer to your videos. Plus, the streamlined setup ensures quick and easy pairing, thanks to the native compatibility between Insta360 X4 and Cardo.

How to Pair Insta360 X4

Ready to gear up? Follow these steps to pair your devices:

Power on both your devices, making sure both are fully charged for a smooth setup. Activate Pairing Mode on the Headset, then head over to your camera. Connect via Bluetooth Headphones in your camera, selecting your headset from the list of available devices.

Then, test! Once connected, you should be able to use commands like “Take a Photo” or “Mark That” to ensure everything is working as it should.

Note: You'll need to ensure Voice Control has been activated. Swipe down from idle on the camera screen to activate that from the options!

Pairing a Cardo Headset for Group Rides
