Sena 20S / SMH10 has anyone replaced the speakers

[stevenolts]

I think the sound in both the Sena 20S and the Sena SMH10 is not loud enough.

Has anyone replace the speakers? I know I read that someone has but I need more details before I try it. I have read online a little about this but it is important to get the right speaker to make it a good quality and louder upgrade.

sorry can't help with the speakers, but have you ever considered earbuds? nothing will ever sound as good, plus it helps with protecting your ears from damage due to wind noise....

I use earbuds with the half helmet. The new Sena 20S has a port for earbuds maybe I will try that on the way home tonight to see if it sounds better. The ear buds in a 3/4 or modular helmet hurt my ears after a while.

My impressions have been that volume was never an issue for me, just sound quality in general and the lack of bass with the speakers. I've read of some replacing the speakers with speakers from decent headphones. On my modular, I have a clamp that allows me to use the speakers or plug in ear buds. The ear buds make the sound as good as the quality of your ear buds. As for the speakers that come with the clamps, they work fine for GPS , intercom or telephone, but much rather listen to my bikes speakers for the music.

Heck that's a loaded question. Just ant quality ear buds. You can spend little or a lot. You also have to consider whether they will fit with the helmet on, so they can't have a lot of bulk to them. Bose makes some pretty decent. There are some pretty expensive sets that are custome molded to your ear, but the name of those escape me at the moment. I usually spend $40- $50 on a set. Look at reviews online to see what others have said.
