    The headphone jack disappeared from iPhones in 2016, with the rollout of the iPhone 7.

    Are these helmet speakers or earbuds?
    In many states, employing any earbuds or employing more than one earbud is illegal.
    Be careful out there!

    You guys... I was referring to the comment that asked how headphones were used with phones that didn't have a 3.5mm headphone jack. The options, if you're using one of those archaic iPhones, (last time I checked, Apple is still making lots of money globally, but I'm just a dumb American, so check my math), is buying the Lightning to 3.5mm dongle for $9, or Bluetooth from the phone, (which is why Apple ditched the headphone jack). I use the latter, to my Sena system. Sorry my picture of earbuds threw so many of you in the ditch. Super sorry that the earbuds were Bose, another of those American companies...

    Yes, the Apple solution is definitely geared towards wireless. My android phone & Sena 10H (oldie but goodie) communicate just fine to the Sena's helmet speakers.
    I don't use it for music though. Music is still my 320GB iPod in the bag... I wish the Sena speakers were made by Bose - I have a lot of their gear still including some 901s that I still find amazing.
    It's all good.

    I have a set of 301s and a set of 601s I bought in the mid 80s. The 601s could probably use a little cone repair, but great speakers.
