I fell off a ladder hanging Christmas lights and broke the heel on both feet
I just bought two of them from Sierra where I bought my Sena 20's. Sierra told me that work as advertised. Unfortunately these arrived the day after I fell off a ladder hanging Christmas lights and broke the heel on both feet. So with both feet in casts and stuck in a wheel chair for 12 weeks it will be a while before I get to try them. Looking forward to hearing what someone who has used them has to say about them.
I have sena 20's and a sm10 or something like that .it makes the bike blue tooth . I wonder if the freewire is a better way to go. Does the radio play in stereo through the freewire
If you have the Honda or BikeMP3 CB, the Freewire will send stereo audio from the bike to a BT headset, like your 20S, and mic audio from your headset into the bike's audio system for the CB. If you ride with a passenger they can use a wired headset or a second Freewire with a Bluetooth headset. Works beautifully on Goldwings or Harleys with factory audio systems.
We also make a direct wire power adapter so you may hide the Freewire in the fairing pocket or under the seat, and not have to plug into a cigarette lighter.
What I have now is a sm10 and a smh10 in my fairing pocket.the sm10 makes a clicking noise in the headsets 20s and it bothers me. So it does not get used much.with the smh10 I have the cb , Garmin 660, and the bike radio all working through Bluetooth. But without the sm10 there is just mono coming to the headsets. I am looking for a better option and it sounds like freewire is a better option
Clinton - not sure what the clicking is. Do you have the SM10 powered from the bike or from the internal battery? If from the bike, then you need a ground loop isolator between the SM10 and the bike's audio system to prevent the noise, most likely. The Freewire's audio lead has ground loop isolation built-in.
Alas, the Freewire uses BT 4.0 technology and your SMH10 is BT 3.0, so they're not compatible. The newer Sena headsets like the 10S, 20S, and such, are compatible. Hope that helps.
Thank you for responding to my post. I do appreciate it very much. I have only used the external battery and have not hooked away to charge from bike. Something I will do someday. The 1st few days, after the install I did not notice the clicking sound. Then on a trip for a few days ,it started and has never went away. It took me a while to figure out what was making the noise. If I remember,we had been on the bike for around 8 hrs and the battery died on the SM10 ,and the clicking sound stopped. I charged it up overnight and it was back,turned it off and the noise was gone. I never puesured it any more. I am thinking the freewire will be a better way to go wireless. I did blue tooth when the 20s first came on the market. The freewire was not available at that time.
I read that something needs to be done/purchased to hear music in stereo. Did I misunderstand? If I understand correctly, what needs to be done/purchased?
I have seen you in some posts about the sena freewire. Are you a electronics distributor? I have a 2007 gl1800 with a cb etc. My wife has a 2014 Can Am Spyder STS SE5 and we would like to find a way to communicate through my cb. Do you know of anything? One person on the Spyder forums has a handheld Midland CB mounted to her spyder using some typr of bluetooth headsets etc.

Hi Jim:
I’m a Sena dealer. Actually Sena’s First dealer, anywhere. Been offering Sena products since early 2010.
We can set your wife up with a Sena headset, a Sena SR-10 two-way radio adapter and Handheld CB. I have a Cobra handheld CB and an SR-10 that I’ve used just in day, and I can make you a helluva deal on those. We can chat about headsets, as there are many options.

Thanks.
Where would the talk switch or button be for her?
