SenaSPH10 Outdoor Sports Bluetooth Stereo Headset/Intercom, Black

Using this for business within a very noisy environment. These work absolutely perfectly for setting up a private conference between like headsets. We have tried many solutions, FRS radio... etc. These are the winners. Upgraded to the latest firmware, 4.2, easy as pie. The rubber covers that protect the various connections to the headset actually work. They stay closed when closed and have a tight fitting. The sound quality is great. So far very impressed. We will see about durability and I will update this review over time. Clearly a very well made and solid product.----------------Update 7 May 2013Stole a pair from the office to use on my sailboat this past weekend. We use them to communicate between myself and my wife when we are coming into dock, a fairly large boat. In the past we used a product called "marriage savers" designed for boating and the 24G FRS based full duplex head sets. I have always been a huge advocate of headsets on pleasure boats for communication between crew members when picking up mooring balls or docking. It saves on the screaming factor:) While my two previous sets were okay, we had continual issues with interference with other RF transmitters in the area.This bluetooth solution is MUCH better. We loved them and so I just ordered two for the boat. They pair really fast and the voice quality is unmatched. They seemed very stout and should do fine in a marine environment.---------------Update 17 March 2014After a full season of use, still going strong. I have yet to find an issue with these headsets. One hint is to write your own quick start guide for use and keep it handy. The three buttons you need to always remember (there are a lot of buttons) is the Jog Dial button, Jog button, and the Phone button. The names make no sense but are important.For simple use case:1. Turn on - hold Jog Dial Button and Phone button on simultaneously announces with "Hello" LED flashes Orange then flashes blue slow2. To Pair- On each set, hold the Jog dial button on until it announces "intercom pairing" (LED flashing Orange fast)- On one set momentarily (1-2 seconds) hold down the Jog Dial button then release, (wait 2-4 seconds) once paired they will each beep twice and LED flashes two quick blue twice then pause, then repeats with two quick blue flashes then pause, repeat3. Turn off - hold Jog Dial Button and Phone button on simultaneously, announces with "good bye"-----------------------------------------------March 16, 2015I bought two pairs of these for our boat. We have been using them solid for two years on the boat and they still work great. For docking and laying anchor out they have been a huge benefit to us for communicating over the length of the boat together, 45 feet. . We have been in some nasty weather while using these and I am concerned that the level of water resistance is not good enough but so far not a problem. Sometimes we forget to turn one of them off and the battery dies so we fall back to the shouting methodology on those few occasions, it just makes us even more appreciative of their functionality. These do get dropped and kicked and very abused on the boat but they just keep ticking, amazing! The newer headbands are really much better than the ones I had originally bought for the company.

Update 3-10-19. As you can see I have used these for years. One unit just became flakey after 4 years of near daily SWEATY use in Florida and Texas. I just ordered 2 more (1 spare). Other reviews point out the plastic is weak on the shank near the head set. That's true. I wish Sena would improve this, BUT the shank is narrow there so as to miss your helmet and the side of your head. No pressure points. Trade off. I snapped one Sena a couple years ago by "peeling" the unit off my head one handed. If you ALWAYS use 2 hands and lift the unit off each ear as designed, it does not break. Also, I've tried the newer Cee Coach and didn't like it. If you use a wired head set the wire is there to contend with. Wireless headsets with the Fee Coach require charge 4 units at the end of each use...plus "pairing" of all the devices. The Sena is not as contemporary looking as the Cee Coach, but it's WAY LESS hassle. it is self contained. I want to get on my horse, press the button and get to work. I still recommend Sena and I'm ALWAYS an early adopter. Sena is the best I've found through the yearsUpdate 5-25-15: I just tried the "Expand-01" It's a better looking updated model of the SPH-10. Don't buy the Expand. Stick with the SPH-10. One reason...wind noise. The Expand is surprisingly sensitive to wind noise. On an 8-10 mph wind speed day, neither my trainer nor I were able to hear each other 1/2 the time. We switched right back to the SPH-10 model and the problem disappeared.Original review: I'm partially hearing impaired and ride horses taking lessons from a trainer. I wear one of these. The trainer (on the ground or on a horse wears a second pair.) Lessons were difficult without this device as I couldn't hear the trainer's timely coaching. Problem solved. This unit is self contained, easy to use and comfortable. The pads sit on the ear (not in) so you can still hear what is around you. I put it on, then put on my helmet & leave tx/rx on full time. (The trainer doesn't need to hear me, so she turns down her volume control) It will work in nearly any (reasonable) environment I can think of except for FULL helmets (horse, motorcycle etc). The "brother" to this device is the SPH10H-01. The photo shows it works with half helmets and it would, but it's more trouble than this model. The velcro at the top doesn't attach well to my equestrian helmet. There is a wire between the 2 ear pieces which makes set up more difficult. I returned it and bot a 2nd SPH 10-10. I like this SPH10-10 so much, I've both a blue tooth transmitter for my TV audio. I'll wear the sena on the horse, then use it for listening to TV. The sena unit will also blue tooth to your phone/Ipod. Other options too. Set up sounds hard. It's not. Take a few minutes to read the manual. Sena has made it as easy to use as Amazon's and Apple's sites!! Few companies do.
