Welcome (finally) to the Sena club! I listen to podcasts a lot when I'm riding. I've got the Motorola Razr but, I just use it for phone and use my ipod for music and podcasts. The wife really loves it since she can listen to music now when we ride and talk to me if she wants.

I have heard good things about the new OiS 6.0, can't wait for that.
Android phones can do that too. I haven't had a smartphone that couldn't. Earlier versions of Sena's firmware couldn't do it though. It was an all or nothing thing with connecting to the phone. It got confused when you connected the phone to the gps and then to the sena.

How bad does wind noise interfere with your ability to hear the speakers in these things? Can you wear earplugs while you use them and not give up too much audio quality?

I have can hear mine going 90mph and wear ear plugs, should work fine for you. LOL

This is when a good helmet makes a difference though.

The earplugs are what allow you to be able to hear the speakers. They dampen the wind noise. You probably would be deaf in a week if you listened without earplugs at full-volume! They are loud! There are certain songs I have that were recorded at a lower volume for some reason that can be a bit hard to hear but for the most part everything is great!
One really good thing about the Sena is each profile (phone, gps, music, intercomm) has its' own volume level. My phone is REALLY loud so, it gets turned down a bit and the volume stays where you set it and then when you go back to your music, it's at the volume you left it!

I have a Shoei RF1000 (that I don't wear any more) and a Hornet (what I usually wear). The Hornet is quite a bit noisier than the RF1000.

I just mounted everything into my RF1000. Took a little doing and couldnt mount the speakers righ tover my ear canal due ot where the liners snap in, but just sitting around it sounds and feels prety good. I will give it a trial run tonight and tomorrow to see how it does at highway speeds.

I definitely recommend setting up the volumes with earplugs in before mounting the bike. That way you won't run into the situation where you can't hear anything and have to fiddle with it while riding or you get blasted. Either way, ride in a safe place so you have less to deal with while getting it sorted-out! Good luck and be safe!

Good, because Schuberth is on my list. It sounds like a great helmet, from all you and others have said about it.
