Problem solved!!
I downloaded the H-D Bluetooth Device Manager at - oem.sena.com/harley-davidson/ - then updated my headsets with the latest firmware, reset the headsets to factory default setting and pair them again with the Boombox.
I also made some changes in the Wireless Headset settings, like disable Smart Volume control, Sidetone, Adv. Noise Control.
The music is coming through very clear and doesn´t fade away like before. However with high speed I think the wind has some influence on the microphone and coursed the music to fade away again.May be I have to change the Int.Audio Sense to an other level.
Also communication as Intercom and making and receiving phone calls is working great!

It's the Intercom VOX sensitivity. Wind noise is opening the intercom function which in turn lowers the selected audio output. Remember too, the Intercom Volume is its' own separate volume setup. Either turn off the intercom or adjust the sensitivity to require using PTT to activate it & your problem should be fixed.

Where do you adjust the VOX sensitivity? I actually want to make mine more sensitive. It misses the first syllable of the first words when I try talking to someone.

Smitty and Hammz were also talking about the Vox,I don´t know what they mean by that.
In the Instructions manual they explain the ´VOX Phone´ but that has nothing to do with voice control.
The INT-Audio Sensitivity changes the sensitivity level at which the Headset detects you are speaking and turns on sidetones. Level 1 is the lowest and level 10 is the most sensitive. Factory setting is 6.
Otto I think you need to change this level. Best thing to do is download and read the instructions. I am not an expert and some things I don´t understand myself. Good Luck!

Adjusting sensitivity will not fix the first syllable clipped. That's a function of the time required to change from receive to transmit mode. If you make VOX too sensitive it may "capture" that missed first syllable but it'll stay in transmit all the time.

INT-Audio Sensitivity is the VOX function. VOX is the acronym for Voice Operated Transmit. This is a function of the radio, not the WHIM, although the BT device(s) will also generally have settings that will need to be properly adjusted as well in order to get the BT interface functioning correctly.

For me, setting INT-Audio Sensitivity to 8 for both rider and passenger is the perfect number. One lower or higher has a significant impact.
