Motorcycle riding: When riding in a noisy motorcycle, do you connect via headphone?

If you wear a helmet, you wouldn't be able to hear the voice directions anyway but there are several small earpieces you can buy and insert in your ears and then carefully pull your helmet down over your ears. However, the on-screen directions are very good. No, the unit does not come with one. No, the speaker is not loud enough to hear when riding a motorcycle; GPS units are barely loud enough to hear in a car if you also have a radio on!

I don't know what kind of motorcycle you ride but this thing can get pretty loud. So I would say yes.

yes, it will work perfectly fine with output audio speakers...that's if you can get loud enough audio to hear over a motorcycle engine :) But otherwise, yes, there's no problem at all.

Yes. It would be awesome to communicate to another rider or passenger. You can also answer your cell phone, listen to your music from your phone or other bluetooth device, have three-way conversations, and use a bluetooth GPS unit. We use ours for communicating while riding on out motorcycles. We have had ours for a few years and really love them. Hope this is helpful.

There is no auxiliary audio output to connect anything to. The internal audio is loud, but probably not enough for a motorcycle.

In California it's illegal to cover "both" ears with headphones or insert ear buds in "both" ears while driving a car, motorcycle or bicycle. It's considered a safety issue. I have no idea what the laws are in other states.

You can, but with headphones you'll only be able to lower the volume and not increase it passed the highest level the dock can go over. In a vehicle or if plugged up to a stereo you can increase it passed that point, but hopefully the level is adequate enough with your preferences. I ride a motorcycle and listen to music in my helmet with headphones, and occasionally the highest volume won't be enough, but it's rare.

I suspect they probably would as they reduce low frequency engine noise and wind roar on aircraft ... but I'm not sure it's a good idea from a safety perspective reducing hearing effectiveness when you need all your senses on a motorcycle.

I do on some occasions. I push or twist the "plug" on the headphones and then the sound comes in louder.

Correct, the sound will be dependent on many things, I use mine on the motorcycle as well, and if I set it on the Highway bars, all you hear is the sound of the bike, if I set it on the handle bars, you don't hear much if anything, also depends on weather you have the protective case on it, if you do you hear less ambiance noise, but you won't be able to charge it while riding, you can charge it while riding with out the case, but keep in mind that continuous charge of the battery will decrease the life of the battery it self.

Yes, just plug it in. The sound is far better with headphones and you won't disturb anyone nearby. Enjoy!

Hi.On mine, when I plug in headphones, the sound switches from the speakers to the headphones. With headphones plugged in, you can listen to music without disturbing anyone else.

I use them for motorcycling and think they work fine. It's nice that they are connected. My helmet is modular and very noisy. These provide protection for the ears without drowning out all the ambient noise too much. It's the wind that the problem with my helmet and these work well and, a good value.

No plugging in required with the Sena devices you are looking at. I rode for many years with a communciation system that DID required a connection from my helmet to the motocycle but this one does not. It is a wonderful solution for bike-to-bike, driver-to-passenger, music, phone calls, and navigation commands from a navigation device. It seems a bit overwhellming at first but really isn't. Buy it and don't look back! Enjoy!!

Dont ride motorcycles, so not sure if theyll block the motor noise, but they do totally seal your ear cavity and block most sound. For this reason I DONT use em while bicycling. Theyre real nice sound though.

To answer your question we strapped the speaker to our Vino 50cc scooter and rode around with Spotify on full blast. Could barely hear the music during idle, nothing at speed. But it sounded just fine while the scooter was off and we were changing the oil...

I would not recommend this bluetooth for your Harley rides. I had trouble hearing from it inside my car, so I bought another bluetooth that works much better for me.
