Boom or Bluetooth...
Just bought a 2017 Ultra and was given two brand new wired headset for the bike. Question is, do I go the stock route or do I go with Sena Bluetooth or something similar. Will be using two brand new modular helmets. Thanks!

Your choice, But if you want BT you then must buy the SENA's from HD to get stereo, you will also need the Whim module and cabling kit. The wired headset works fine for me, to upgrade to the BT I priced it out at
$350 for the WHIM and Harness
$550 for the SENA dual 20S pack or
$580 for the SENA dual 30K pack or
$430 for the SENA dual 10S pack
So $780 at the cheapest MSRP +tax or $930 for the high end + tax.
The WHIM only works in MONO on anything other then the HD branded Sena's... SO it is worthless with all my current BT setups in my other helmets!
Also you are looking at about 12hrs of use per charge. If you ride long hours like I do then you lose comms after 12 hours or earlier depending on your volume and if you use the intercom function that really chews into battery.
Since you have the wired sets I would suggest trying them out first to see what you think.
