Sena SR10 (Ebbs)
Now that Sena offers a headphone jack instead of speakers and now this so you can use two way radios. I think the choice is definitely Sena.

looks neat, if I was going on a trip with someone who only had two way, I would probably get one. It's pretty cool they got something like this going. I love my Sena.

yeah... it'd be nice if they'd not make the Bluetooth propitiatory.
I found a nice custom ear phone site... http://www.earsound.com/shurefit.asp make getting a good fit easy. also nice because THEY custom fit them, at no extra cost. |

Hey Trip! Any chance you might do a long-term review of the Senas? I read your earlier post and the last thing you mentioned was trouble with auto-priority but, you said you solved the problem but, didn't mention how? I'm thinking of getting a set. I've been told they are coming out with a new version that allows unlimited connections to other units! That would be great! Anyway, just wondering what you thought of them after some time with them and if you discovered any new issues or gems.

I absolutely love mine. No issues. Sound quality is great. Sound volume is amazing. Decent distance. Love that I can power them off the bike when battery dies in em. Very happy with this purchase. I doubt I would sell mine for a new version unless it allowed connectivity with more than one person at a time.
The priority issue for me still exists. I use my GPS as my mp3 player sometimes and it has automatic first priority over every other device. I cannot use the Sena for anything else while the GPS is playing music. I have to stop the song and then it will let me use other things. My fix was just stop the music to use other devices. |

So, if you used another bluetooth device to play music, the intercomm would work fine? Do a search on webbikeworld for "indy" and their recent article has a small section on the new Sena devices. The one that has unlimited intercomm connectivity is not for helmets but, hopefully that will carry over to a new model. I was planning on getting something this week but, I've got to fill up the Bronco instead. (not kidding)

Yeah, if I use my phone to play music, when someone buzzes in to talk to me that I have paired to the device, it will pause the music and let me talk to that person.
GPS devices are given first priority so they interrupt anything you are doing, so it can tell you where to go. It's smart to do it that way, but it doesn't take into account if someone is using it as a music device. |
