John,
I'm looking at a Bluetooth unit with FM to install in my HJC IS-17 helmet. Was leaning toward a Sena unit. What's catching my eye are your new "high intensity" speakers. Can you share the db rating of these speakers? Are your Bluetooth products firmware upgradable? Looking primarily for music usage on a non faired/windshielded bike using FM/Bluetooth IPod Nano. Also using a wired mic vs. boom on a full face helmet. Thanks for info

If they're as good as the J&M headsets I used on my Royal Star Venture they'll be worth waiting for.

I have the Sena SMH10 units and have been using them for over 2 years. They have worked great for everything on my Road King - controlling my iPhone, linking with my Garmin Zumo, music sharing, intercom with passenger. We continue to use them even though we traded the Road King for a '15 Ultra Limited.

The downside is that the '15 does not support Bluetooth headset for interacting with the Infortainment system. So I have to use a wired microphone to use the CB.

For sure. I'm very happy with my Elites. Not to mention, the customer service has been second to none!! The 787's will be in my next helmet.

I've been using the Sena SMH10 units prior to getting my new Ultra Limited. I was very unhappy to find out that the Boom system would not bluetooth up with them. I guess it's HD's way to keep things in their house.
