Default Bluetooth headsets? Im confused

For my 2015 ULTRA If I buy a SENA BT headset I need something that plugs into the BOOM system to allow me to hear my stereo and use voice commands???

WOW!!!! I just watched a video from Law Abiding Biker about the WHIM. Harley has you by the ***** with it. Basicaly $1000 worth of equipment is required for 2 headsets to integrate with the BOOM system and in HD stereo!!!!

I think I will just be researcing the SENA headsets and link them with my phone.

Do you wear a helmet? If so what type? Do you listen to the music on your phone mostly or CD's or whatever? What would be the commands you would use the most. Like "Play music", "Call Home"? Voice commands in my option are over rated. The mic stays ready for a command. If there is wind noise or a lot of ambient noise the mic will keep switching on. If you have hand controls radio is mostly controlled by that. If you are chatting on the phone. Well that answers itself. Harley makes good stuff. But third party stuff is cheaper and most of the time just as good. More home work is needed for third party. Mostly because there is sooo much out there. You already have Bluetooth. You just need something to connect to A dual Sena headset package runs 330.00 to 500.00 depending on if it's a 10 or 20 series. Good luck. Ride safe!

Example::::

There's an existing thread on the WHIM as long as War and Peace.

It's a LOT cheaper to use the corded headset. You have everything at your disposal with it.

If you want to go wireless, I would suggest getting the Boom 20s headsets as they are the same price or cheaper than buying the Sena model. That way you can add the WHIM later if you decide and get the benefit of HD stereo.
