Cardo Systems is a pioneer in the wireless communication industry, specifically renowned for creating the world's first Bluetooth headset for motorcycle helmets in 2004. Founded in 2003 by Dr. Abraham Glezerman, the brand initially focused on wind-suppressing Bluetooth earpieces for mobile phones before transitioning entirely to the powersports and outdoor adventure markets. The company introduced Dynamic Mesh Communication (DMC) technology, which revolutionized how large groups of riders communicate seamlessly without the range limitations of traditional Bluetooth.

While the brand maintains its primary research and development hub and headquarters in Israel, its manufacturing and assembly processes are distributed globally to meet demand in over 100 countries. In 2021, Cardo Systems was acquired by EMK Capital, a private equity firm based in the United Kingdom. This acquisition has allowed the brand to expand its technological lead, including the opening of specialized research centers like Cardo Sound Labs in Germany to enhance audio quality through partnerships with industry leaders like JBL.
