Question for those that use headsets

[shortleg0521]

Just wondering what kind of Bluetooth headset you use and what kind of helmet be it a
half or module or full face. Also how well it works.
I just moved my Sena 20s from my modular helmet to my half helmet and was very
seprised to find that it seems to work just fine in both.
I have to admit I did have to make some adjustments of the half helmet to get the
speakers right even with my ears.

[I posted this on the ST-Owners forum - where I hang out a bit - but thought the info would be useful here too]

Running three Sena 10R's here. Like the SMH10, but next generation.
Slimmer (see pics), larger speakers, Bluetooth 4.1, better battery life, etc...
I really like them. I actually answered my first phone call the other day (I had a pool table for sale on Craigslist, and I knew the buyer was calling), he couldn't even tell I was on my bike.
Intercom functions well between the three of us (Me, Son, Daughter).
Range is acceptable... not the 1/2 mile or more that it claims, but the range is much further than I would ever get away from my daughter anyway (she's a newbie).
Installation in my Nolan N104 EVO was simple, and the external battery fit in the existing pocket within the back of the helmet.
With the battery being external to the controller, it has very long life, and if it ever begins to not accept charging, you can replace it without buying a new device.
I made one small slit on the neck-roll trim for the cable to pass inside the helmet (see pics), and stuck it on the outside over the hole that Nolan provided for their proprietary communicator.
Looks like a factory install in my opinion. Couldn't have asked for an easier fit.
My Son's helmet was not as accommodating, so his battery went on the outside back, and my Daughter took the time to cut a notch behind her neck-roll and hid hers like mine.
I used the goose-neck boom microphone (it includes both types) and I just tuck it up out of the way when not using it (see pics).

It is truly the most comfortable and functional helmet I have ever owned. Adding the Sena 10R just made it better.

Just my $.02.

The forum software wouldn't let me add more than 5 images to my post, but I had two more:

I too upgraded to the Sena 10R from the SMH10 a week ago. Quite a bit better than the SMH10 in call quality and being able to cut out wind noise. My wife could always tell when I was riding before, now she says I sound like I'm not moving.

I hope she can tell the difference in other rooms of the house.

Do you listen to music with that 10R setup? How does it sound? Is it aceptable or would you just use the bike speakers?
