View Full Version : 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) :td:
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.

Cool! Thanks for the info!
Side note: Do you realize how hard it is to get a reply done with those bouncing boobs to the right! Not complaining! Just commenting! :dribble:

Yea, I bought a set of the Senas last week and installed them in my and my GF's helmets. Not really impressed after coming from the top of the line J&M headphones, sound quality-wise but we'll see once we road test them.
Nick, I'm surprised that the unit knows the difference between your GPS and your phone... BTW why don't you just use your phone for all three? j/k:lol:
I have a similar problem, as I have a GPS, radar detector and phone. I don't trust BT with radar alerts so I have mine wired to the headset 3.5mm with a splitter that puts the GPS on the left and the radar on the right.:idk: I can listen to music off the GPS in mono if I really want...:lol:
My GPS can access my phone and I can dial and access my phonebook through it while I am riding because it's glove friendly and waterproof. I like the routing on the garmin as I can setup my routes a lot easier and I don't need cell service or take up any unnecessary memory usage on my cell, which is important because I ride where there is little or no cell service of any network.

so you connect your phone to the Garmin then the Garmin to the Sena?
I like the fact the I can use the Garmin to access my phone book. I also like that the Garmin allows me to play my books on tape and keeps track of my place no matter what.

Yep, the only issue with doing it that way is my use of the GPS as my main device overrides anything else trying to access the sena. So if someone tries to talk to me, I won't know it because GPS has priority built into the Sena. As long as audio is coming from the GPS, the Sena plays it over anything else.

Read the manual, anything connected to it is prioritized based on what it is. It knows what you connect to it.

be nice for solo trips though!

It rules for solo trips. The only time I really used it where it was an issue is trips with andrea, but she just taps me on the shoulder when she wants to talk.
When Kyle used her set on the BRP trip, we just kept it on talk mode the entire way. The conversation was hilarious. "Pret-tay pret-tay pret-tay pret-tay pret-tay pret-tay pret-tay pret-tay pret-tay pret-tay pret-tay pret-tay pret-tay pret-tay pret-tay pret-tay pret-tay pret-tay pret-tay pret-tay girls..."

The batteries didn't die quick. It lasted a full day and half of the second day. The problem was we were camping. We couldn't recharge them at night, so I recharged one in the morning, while he used the other one and then we changed when it was recharged and I recharged the second one. He didn't have a powerlet on his bike or we could of just recharged both while we were riding.

I understand snookie wookums, I had a Garmin 885T before some dirt bags stole it, that is. Now I have a Garmin 835T (no BT)and I'm happy but I'd still have the same problem because with a wired headset, you can't BT stream music...:lol: I should have kept the TWO Integrator IVs that had with the TWO high end J&M headsets and added two way radios for $50 to talk to my disappearing GF... :lol:
Heck, the Int IV has a phone input...:lol Yeesh!
