Intercom for the Wife

[bbroj]

The wife have and are happy with the Sena units. We can talk bike to bike in real world situations for about 1/4 mile or so. We each have music, she uses a bluetooth adapter (dongle) and I use the included input wire. We also each sync to our phones as well as each other's units (of course) for intercom. The only nit to pick for us is a slight but noticeable delay in the mic's opening the VOX session, after that it's full duplex, clear conversations at any reasonable speed. By the way, I wear earplugs and have no problems with volume.

I have the Sena installed now.  I found them fairly easy to install and use.  The SO and I went on a ride around the hood canal last night and they worked with no problems.  I have mine paired with my phone and my ipod touch.  Hers is paired with her phone and she uses the cord to run her ipod.  I have answered the phone multiple times and it is easy to hear and I am clear to the caller (once I quit shouting because I was worried they couldn't hear me).  I tested them to 90 and they are easy to hear there as well.  This was rider to pillion.

The Starcom's had a PS2 type connector at one point that had failure issues for some.  Weren't beefy enough.

I have the Starcom1 advance for some 5 years now.  Very beefy and better then than Autocom I tested. What I also like is I can get a cable from any computer shop as the ps2 cable is the same as a keyboard extension cable and  very inexpensive.

I use the Sena as well and am very happy with it.  It is quite loud if needed in a full face helmet and with the face down, the person I am talking to doesn't know I am on the bike at speed.
