Which headset
I have a Sena SPH10H-Fm headset. Have never really been satisfied with it. To much wind noise and my wife sounds like she is talking through a pipe or something plus I have never gotten the talk time they advertised when it was new. I have had it for about four years. We rode yesterday and I got about three and a half hours out of hers. Mine was still working. Sena says it is a irreplaceable battery. So I guess when the batteries get bad you have to buy another set. I did find one forum that the guy says he changed the battery in his. He shows the battery in a photo but doesn't say where he got it. Looked like to me it just plugged in. I can't remember exactly what I paid but I am thinking it was around 350.00. If I cant find a battery what are some good headsets for a half helmet. It is very aggravating that you can't change the battery. Thanks

The wife and I love the H-D wired headsets. I can talk to her without turning my head, she says I sound clear. We both listen to music either from my phone or radio.
I found a 3.3 mm to 7 pin adapter plug on Amazon because when we wear our half helmets she just puts in ear buds so she can hear me and if she needs to say something she just whispers in my ear.

I have the Cardo unit and use Sony ear buds with my half helmet. These fit in my ear canal and i have used these with my I-Pod for years. On my 3/4 helmet i have the JBL speakers in the ear well. Both of these units plug into the Cardo... Both seem to work well, but have not used on a long trip yet. Will happen this weekend. If your Sena has the 3.5 mm plug, you should be able to use some ear buds..... good luck!!!

Does anyone know where I can get a battery for my headset. I saw on another site where a guy had changed his battery and showed a picture of it but didn't say where he got it. It had XK 423040 140609

I know they sell them somewhere and Sena buys them but they don't want you to change them apparently. Mine is way out of warranty so what the heck. Thanks

I'm surprised you don't like your Sena. I have the 10S and a buddy has the Sena SPH10H-Fm. We do 7 to 8 hour rides and neither of us have had any issues with sound quality or battery life. We both listen to music and keep them on during the entire ride. I don't have any experience with other bluetooth units but I'm very happy with my Sena.

Mine has never lasted that long. Maybe 4 hours and that's about it. My Sena has no bass at all. I don't listen to the radio any when I am riding by myself. I find it irritating. After I first got it I read on some of the forums other people thought the same thing. I actually talked to Sena about it. Maybe some different speakers. All we use it for as a intercom. I probably wouldn't have bought it if I had know it has a irreplaceable battery. If i do buy another set I will make sure of this. Can you replace the battery on your 10s? By the way, nice bikes.
