Default Anyone considering the Soundstream V2?ho

Just watched the detailed overview of the SSV2 by Volunteer Audio. I have a Sony 7000 right now and use a Sena DRL with my Shoei Neo2. I really wish my headset could pair with the radio vs my phone. No way to listen to audio through the bike speakers but take calls through the headset. I use Apple CarPlay all the time when on the bike. Besides wanting more sound and the headset pairing, I like the Sony. Really torn on upgrading or not. The kit I want is pricey. I want the SSV2 and 4 speaker Hertz system with saddlebag cutout kit. What are y’all thinking about doing?

Before you pull the trigger on the hertz I would suggest going to a bike night or somewhere local to you and listen to a few systems.

I put Hertz 6.5 in my fairing, and they sound great.

I spoke to Volunteer yesterday. The radio will not be available until last week of May / first week of June. My impression was that they're just as frustrated at the delays as anyone else.

I'm optimistically waiting on some real-world reviews too before I pull the trigger.
