I am not impressed with the sound quality of the onboard speakers. This is my first bike with speakers so I don't know it is the wind thats causing a problem or the speaker quality is poor. Is it worthwhile to upgrade the speakers? If so, to what? I wear a full-face helmet, so the helmet is reducing the sound as well.
One thing to conceder is the windshield... the taller the shield the better the OEM speakers will sound, to a point.
Now I will tell ya I changed my speakers almost as soon as I could. I did not go with some of the higher grade ones that require mods to mount them like some guys have, but just a small upgrade with the J&M plug and play direct fit. I like the sound quality, they are an improvement over the OEM IMO and meets my needs.
