what blue tooth headsets do you like?

Fair enough. The coms and music are a real nice option on long rides with a few guys though. And freeway riding during commutes.

 

There is a safety side to riding with comms when in groups. There has been at least a handful of times that it's saved me and my riding buddies from something bad happening. There was at least more than a few times that it's prevented getting a "performance award" from the CHP.

 

I like to call them Welcome to California Tourist Information Taxation and Revenue Forms. The guys I ride on trips with all have Sena coms and one of them has a radar detector. When that thing goes off, we all here it. But does no good for laser. If you have a laser detector and it goes off, it usually means you got lazed. There is no pre warning on those.

 

My SENA 20s is fantastic - plenty loud with earplugs and the mic is fantastic. Excellent phone app and easy updates. Not cheap but you get what you pay for.

 

I'm thinking of myself as the Stig, going on curvy roads with music in my ears

 

I'm thinking about getting an smh 10. I don't have a smartphone. Would a Bluetooth mp3 player work for music?

 

Yes, as long as it is a supported Bluetooth technology. I.e. Bluetooth v2.0, etc. Many of the comm systems allow at least two different Bluetooth connections. Something like a phone on one channel and a GPS on the other.

 

Thanks OOTV

 

Seriously Rob. If I were to do this over again, I would choose the S20 over the S10. It is only a little but bugger but it appears the battery life is considerably longer and controls easier to use when wearing gloves. The S10 is good mind you, but I think the 20 is better.

 

You have the 10 right? So the 20 is smaller?

One of my concerns is, my helmet is so snug it hard to use even ear buds.

 

Thanks AM. I could probably get by with just fine with FM but for trips in the mountains it'd be sketchy. Ha! AM/FM.

What about the fit in your helmet?

 

Cool, thank you.

Coast to coast explains the HARP reference. An entertaining show but not nearly as good without Art. Loved the secret agent call-in line.

 

it's a hard choice. $156 vs $265. I need tires too..

 

The 10s has FM too. I went from the original SMH-10 for about 5 years to the 10S. I looked at the 20S, but didn't see any real advantage over the 10S for the cost increase. I'm totally happy with the 10S (I use it primarily for music and phone).
FYI, they have a new one out now...the 30K. It can intercom with up to 16 at a time!

 

Thanks guys. Saved me some research. When the time comes, the 10S looks like a real good option.
