Wirelesss communication System ??
I need to know what system is the best.
Need to communicate with my back seat partner and other motorcycle. I had the Kawasaki CB system on my previous Voyager. It was great but I've just bought a new Voyager 2015 Your input will be greatly appreciated. Gcarm Login or Register to Remove Ads |

I'm a big fan of Sena, and my passenger and I have enjoyed several years of faultless performance from a set of their SMH-10 model headsets. Those are now outdated, recently replaced by the 10S.
Here's a link to WebBike World's bluetooth headset review homepage. There are links down the right of the page to their reviews of almost all available units, so you can make your own selection based on your needs.

Give you my input Nolan N43 Trilogy
I have two Nolan Helmets N43 Trilogy helmets they can be converted from open face to just shield to shield with chin guard and pop down sun shade. Nolan have their own integrated helmet system which I find amazing as holds a charge for about 10 hours and I know no other helmet that does that. Works, bike to bike even with other systems, passenger even with other systems, has bluetooth and FM radio and you can answer your phone also on it. Easy to use easy to program. Beautiful sound as good as any Bose Speaker system.
Charge by 110 volt at home or 12 volt cig lighter plug takes about 3 hours to get to full charge. I use it with a Garman 660LM motorcycle GPS which feeds me by voice directions and also plays all my music I want through BlueTooth. They have many styles of helmets at Nolan and different headsets also. Just me I find this amazing on my Nomad

Wireless Headset
We used Chatterbox Xbi for years and they were good. This year we upgrade to Sena 20s. WOW what a difference! We like the enhancements we now have. Worth looking into. Prices vary between $350 to 500 for a dual set.

We have been using Sena SMH-10's for over 3 years. Great units. Next month upgrading to the 20s. Bike to bike is great with the 10's but looking forward to more range.

Sena is by far the industry leader currently. First it was Chatterbox, then Scala...now Sena.

As has been said; "We have been using Sena SMH-10's for over 3 years. Great units."
The bike to bike is 1/3 to 1/2 mile range. Works great and can pair with 6 total units. Plus AUX audio and phone to boot. Plus 1 Ride safe, Smokier

Another vote for the Sena 20s. Me and the lady have one. I ride with 4 guys who also have them. No complaints. We rode for 9 days and 4000 miles, two of those days were completely rainy. They stopped working for a few hours, but after cleaning with electronic wipes, they work like new again.

Is the Sena 20s not weatherproof? The BT3300 is old tech, but it has never failed me even in the worst rain. |

Its weather proof, but the unit detached from the base (multiple helmets) and the salt water got in there and caused some weird connectivity issues. We rode the California coast for 5 days, two of which rained sun up to sun down. The salt water was crazy. My vest chains rusted.
