That is what the Sena 20 does, or is supposed to do. You can keep the intercom open and still hear your music, when one person speaks the music volume goes down. At least that is what mine did for a while anyway. Now when someone speaks the volume on the music stays at full volume. I'm not loving the Sena so far. One of my units quit working and I while I waited over a week for a return email from Sena, they said they were overwhelmed with help requests :shocked::yikes:, I left on my trip using Joe's headset. I talked to a Sena rep at the Las Vegas Bike Fest and he couldn't get it to work either and wouldn't swap it out for me (the Scala rep swapped out microphones and speakers for me on a 3 year old unit). When I got home from my trip I decided to try plugging the unit in again, before deciding if I wanted a refund or replacement, and now it works. :banghead:

Will the SCALA work with the SM10?

Because I'm trying to listen to music in between talking

The SMH10 will do that. Let's take for example that you and your passenger headsets are paired together, but no others. Your passenger wants to talk to you. They tap their jog dial once. Your audio will mute and you both can have a conversation. When the conversation is done they tap their jog dial once again and the music will return. Page 27 in the user guide.

From my understanding the 20 will reduce the volume during the conversation but not mute it.

Good information. Also remember to have the mike close enough and talk load enough to activate the VOX. (voice activated microphone) Without these two things your Sena headsets will not work for communication.
