Sena firmware 4.0 - Page 2

How's the volume output with the Sena?

I wear ear plugs all the time. I'm wondering if the unit generates enough volume for me to hear over the earplugs?

I do have a set of Etymotic ER-6i earphone/earplugs that are awesome, and it looks like Sena has a base unit also that would allow me to use them if necessary.

I *prefer* just the earplugs, as they don't fatigue my ears as much as the Etymotics. To be fair, the Etymotics are fine up to the 8-10 hour point, but, well, my personal daily range far exceeds that. LOL

Use the speakers, volume is excellent even with earplugs.

Using earphones isn't necessary.

The Sena is moving up though, especially with this alternative base with the small mic.

I'd be curious to see if the cords are actually long enough for you to mount the Sena on the back of the helmet. Would you mind posting an update once you have it in hand?

Yes the cords are long enough to go from the back of the helmet to the front.

Upgraded mine and my SR10 tonight. Had to dig out the netbook, it said if I upgraded with the Mac it would only upgrade with Mac software from now on, decided not to pursue that avenue. Could of bootcamped into Win 7 but didn't feel like it.

Do the newer units come updated already? I will prolly be pulling the trigger on one later this month.
