    Default Helmet communications

    we've been using chatterboxes for the past few years they work pretty good and last all day but they are getting wore out I've tried call rider and they were terriable i was hoping to get some opinions on the nuclear headsets if anybody has them i really like the boomlet feature on them

    The SENA SM-10H seem to be pretty good.
    I own a pair and I'm pretty happy.

    Default Uclear

    I've had the Uclear system for about a year, and I've been really happy with their ability to pair with darn near anything.

    Default Little checking..!!

    We have the scala G9 and are happy with them but saw some that put ours to shame at the SITR. Check with zoozmc.com. Honestly don't know the others but Scala and Sena are the strong ones in the market. When these go I'm going with the one from zoozmc.com. They also have amazing gps units all about half the price...

    I'm another very satisfied UClear user, altho I did find that the very first set-up took a little effort; but since then, easy as, & it does pair with just about anything! The speaker/earpieces with in-built mic fit easily & are very comfortable in all the helmets I use (got a few for different activities) and even with my declining hearing work very well with little or no transmission of wind noise/other interference!! Waaaay better than every other type I've tried with boom or clip on mic's

    Our third riding season with Sena SMH10. Compared to other brands I have used:

    : longer range
    : holds charge for a whole day
    : can keep the channel open so noise of some kind not necessary to open the channel.
    : little to none when it comes to background noise.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Default uclear

    As previously stated the UClear is pretty slick. The Sennas are carried by Motorcycle Dave one of the site sponsors. Always is good to purchase from those that are site supporters when possible. But the UClear is a great alternative

    Sena SMH10 & SM10 Dongle have worked really well for two years. The 20 might be better, contact Motorcycle Dave, he can give you the skinny as to what works best now. Don't even know if you can still buy the SMH10.

    I really like my Cardo packtalk. It's a new generation of wireless that handles paring to multiple headsets a breeze.

    Here in Hawaii, we prefer the Coconut Wireless. No worries about strings breaking.

    Default ZooZ intercoms

    Hi,

    Those are the ZooZ intercoms mentioned above.

    http://www.zoozmc.com/#!product/prd1...tercom-zb-6100

    We sold over 40 of those in the last SITR and customer sent us very positive reviews.

    Those have very high quality sound with advanced noise cancelation.

    Please feel free to contact me on any information you may need.

    Default Sena 20S

    My brother and I used these for music - quality was better (with more volume) than my SMH-10, but what was really amazing was the range and FM-like clarity of the 20S cycle-to-cycle. Over the 38 yrs we have been traveling together, we have had CB's, GRS and FRS..... nothing compared to the 20S experience. Full Duplex. They say range is 1 mile..... we never measured it, but I could count on one hand the times that it cut out momentarily.... mostly riding in the mountains and separated by a curve or two from one another. Then, it would connect up again no sweat. I use mine with a Zumo 665 (with xm), for directions from the GPS and also music from the AM/FM Can Am radio - using the Sena SM10 Stereo transmitter. Going to move the SM10 to the rear trunk to eliminate the electrical noise.... but until then, I use it without external power.... battery lasts for full day (8 hours) of riding. Charge overnight. Just my 2 cents......

    When I'm not using the coconut wireless, My choice is the Sena 20s.

    3500 miles so far without one problem. And fits perfectly on my Shoei RF-1100.

    My wife and I use the UClear system...the speaker and wireless mic fits my Shoei RF-1100 ear indentation quite nicely and was a breeze to install. It too has a long battery life, works great at distances, and the speakers are loud enough for me. I have received phone calls while riding and the person on the other end can't tell I'm on my spyder... But i wear a full face helmet, with the wind shield up, music off and I'm cruising on the back roads. When the wife and i went to Savannah for a week, and we were traveling on the interstate, going 75 mph, the speaker needed to be turned way up so we could talk to each other... We rode separately, and she likes to crank her radio on her gold wing motor trike. It does have a tendancy to pick up background noise and transmit it through the intercom system. I was kidding with her, when i told her i was going to mute my radio and just listen to hers while riding... I swear sometimes she is deaf and needs a uclear hearing aid built in lol.

    If we were traveling with others, the UClear units can work in tandem to lengthen your range... Haven't tried it yet, and maybe never will since the variety of systems are numerous, but it could be a cool thing to try. I think you'd like the UClear system and if you end up trying something else, I'm sure you'll like that too.

    Has anyone had any experience with the UClear HBC200. It sure looks promising on the UTubes, and it is boom less. The voice piece is in the ear piece like a phone bluetooth setup.

    Default Scalarider G9x

    We have used the G4 and it worked very well with our old Sport bikes. Recently upgraded to the G9x because they have the ability to use in ear monitors. So far they are great. Doing some "rather fast"riding while talking on the phone, no one could tell. FWIW! We have Scorpion Modular helmets.
