I want to start shopping and want others to do my research. I was looking at Sena Scala systems and also Schuberth helms to start with. I want iphone - gps - music capabilities.

What do you ride with?

Sena SMH10. Since basically the day they came out.

I just moved from a Chatterbox XBi to a Sena SMH10. Loving the Sena. The Chatterbox was fine, but it had its shortcomings that the Sena easily overcame.

Another Sena SMH-10 here. The upgradeable firmware, standard format charging port, simple control scheme and innovation like the universal intercom feature put it way on top for me.

Great system.

Tried them all at a demo. The UClear was the best by far, and boom less.

No boom on my Sena. Although I have the option.

I have not heard of Uclear. I need to get out more. #prison

SENA for me. I've been extremely pleased with the system.

spinalator · « **Reply #14 on:** January 11, 2014, 08:01:57 PM »

Thanks for the replies, seems like Sena should be seriously considered.

Sena 10, Schuberth C3.
I have the bace with Earbuds (ER6i) and it ROCKS!!! but am getting sick of the cords, so I tried the speakers in helmet.
Not very loud but OK, tried upgraded speakers (sound quality was marginally better but less volume). Not having to plug the speakers in my ears and then put the helmet on is more of a connivence but will most likely go back to the ER6i's due to sound quality.

I use an Acoustic Research ARWH1 stereo Bluetooth reciever w/ headset port and my Etymotic ear buds with my GPS and phone.

Scala. Irritating thing. Taken it off.

Sena SMH10R, no boom in an Arai Vector 2. Winner, winner , chicken dinner.

Another Sena SMH10 user here. Also bought the bluetooth transmitter and hooked up my GPS and Radar to that. No complaints. Love the system, just wish it was louder so I could go with the in-helmet speakers instead of my earbuds...but I'm still wireless to the bike so its all good.

Royal Tiger · « **Reply #23 on:** February 11, 2014, 08:21:24 AM »

And yet I can still hear mine with ear plugs in. You guys fall all over Sena and then list what you did to make it work to your liking.

I have no complaints with the UClear. Easy to use and great sound quality.

That's how I run my Sena. Stock speakers and ear plugs. It works just fine in my RF1100.

I can't hear the speakers at all over the wind noise without earplugs but it's great with ear plugs in. That works just fine since I don't ride without earplugs anyway.

Love my Sena, and I've got a 1st gen before they were "upgrade-able"
I may consider upgrading when the new one comes out.

Stopped using it all together. Put on the music and check the phone when I'm done.

I just ordered the SMH10R Dual Pack for me & Denise & it'll be here today or tomorrow! I think that I'll remove the BMW communication stuff later today... I never liked it but it was what I needed for the GT. I'm looking forward to trying out the Sena, I'm seeing/reading nothing but good things about it!

Stripes · « **Reply #28 on:** March 15, 2014, 04:57:41 PM »

It showed up yesterday as I was expecting! Now to take the BMW stuff out of my C3 & see if I can figure out how to hook this mess up! Cheers

They've had quite a few issues getting the new model to market. Just an FYI if you don't want to be a guinea pig.
