Microphone Wind Noise

Sorry about the dislike, I guess I hit the wrong button.pps:

It appears that the "dislike" button has replaced the "me too" button again. Previous posts that said "me too" are now dislikes.

I usually don't publicly dislike anyone's post, so guess I will refrain from the "me too" button in the future.

I own a 2012 Spyder LTD. There is so much wind coverage on the LTD that I opted for 3/4 helmets. I'm using the Sena SM10 bluetooth and the SMH10 headsets. Everything works fine until I get over 35 MPH so I don't think it's interference. The idea of covering the front of the mic sounded interesting. Temps are going to be in the 50s here next week so time to do some experimenting. I found some normal size balloons and tried slipping it over the mic. I could tell that wasn't going to work so did some more investigating on the net. Found an interesting post from a Gold Winger that had success by cutting the tip of a finger off a surgical glove. I just happen to have some of them around. I cut the tip off the pinky finger of the glove and slipped it over the mic. Perfect fit. Then slipped the foam mic cover muff over that. We'll see what happens. It's an awful cheap fix if it works. I'm thinking that it we have to talk too load to activate the mic I can punch some pinholes on the user side of the latex glove. I want to try it without the holes first. Just need a few days of warm weather and a little rain to clean the roads. They're white with salt dust around here. I'll report back after the test.

If that doesn't clear the problem I'll try your factory re-set idea. I think that has some potential because the first season of riding with the SENA's I wasn't having this issue. I'm sure I've done a couple of updates since then without doing the complete factory re-set.

One idea I had while reading your post was trying the Bluetooth on something besides the bike. if you have a co-pilot or a cell phone, you can put some distance between you and see if they work without the wind noise. if the wind is still there you will know to look someplace else. When we got our SMH10 headsets we had to do the factory reset also. There is a little hole in the back that I stuck a paper clip wire into. Then did the software upgrade, rebooted and all was good.

I just remembered why I had to do the factory reset. I had the two devices on my desk when I downloaded the software. I paired one to the software then tried the second one. it gave some complaint but let me upgrade the first one I paired with. Well I thought it did. When I finally stopped the application because it was not moving the progress bar, the SMH10 would not even turn on. The factory reset and restart the application every thing worked great.

I started to suspect it wasn't wind noise when it didn't go away while sitting at a traffic light, but that was the hard wired Harley setup.
