Default Headset Comparison

Anyone know a website where I can see a comparison of each of the 3 different wireless headsets? Just reading each description isn't real helpful. I'm trying ti figure out which model to buy. I'll only use it for rider to passenger communication, phone use while riding and integrate with the Boom GT, etc.

I'm looking for somewhere I can select all 3 headsets and it shows the specs for each.

Thanks,

Robert

If you aren't looking for fidelity then anything you mention will work. Even if looking for fidelity you are best served using in-ear monitors with a 3.5mm stereo jack that can plug into the headset. What specifically are you needing in the wireless headset?

if you want it to fully integrate with the boom/WHIM there is only one choice the HD branded Senas(we use them and they work perfectly) the SMH20 is what we use, have for like 4 years now

Thanks, I understand I'll need the HD branded for the WHIM..but there are three different HD Branded headsets. Not clear what the differences between the three are.

I want a wireless headset, but I want the HD branded headset. there are three different models. I'm trying to find somewhere that compares the 3 different models. There are obviously differences but I'll be damned if I can find a good website the compares the three.

If you are talking about the HD-branded Sena headsets there are 4 different models: 50S, 50C, 30K, and 20S

It's pretty straight forward to compare the units by using google and visiting the Sena website. The 50C adds a 4K camera to the 50S. The 50S adds wireless firmware updates, faster charging, longer battery life (1 Hr), Bluetooth 5, Mesh 2.0 (don't ask...google it), and better speakers (although HD sells a different speaker upgrade from Rockford Fosgate for the Sena headsets) over the 30K. This chart details the differences between the 30K and the 20S.

FWIW I only use the headsets for phone and intercom and listen to music through the speakers. As a result I chose the 20S headset. I did add the RF headset speaker upgrade but frankly it wasn't worth the money...especially as I listen to music through the speakers or through in-ear monitors plugged into the 3.5mm headphone jack that all the HD Sena headsets come with.
