I have a Sena 20s that probably is over engineered. With that said, the sound is crystal clear, has FM radio and I simply pair it with my cell phone. I don't even use my bike's system anymore unless the battery dies. The Mrs and I can communicate well and if I am get lost picking up a loaf of bread, I can talk on my cell and no one knows I am on the bike. The setup may look funky, but I don't care. But.... price wise, here is an earlier version that many like.....

We talked about a Bluetooth deal, or just the HD intercom, she likes to lean over he and talk, she says we're closer to each other, lol.
I'm good with it too

To speak with the passenger, do you just start talking like the wired intercom on H-D's or do you have to push a button then talk?
Thanks

I would go to the manufacturer's website and review the operation instructions. It all depends on the model. My 20s uses voice activation, which sucks, 2 taps to initiate voice activation which works well or a push button to initiate intercom. Mine overrides the music when in intercom mode. Don't know about the 10 series....
