I just purchased 4 units. We race quite often and yelling just is not the way to go. Cool calm and collected produces much better outcomes all round. Thanks for the product recommendation.

We use the 10s for more than just our boat and they're awesome👌. We also use them while on our scooters exploring on shore and even while shopping. We split up in the grocery store and still keep in touch.

Just wanted to come back five months later to say thank you for putting us onto these! We are four days into owning our first catamaran (a Seawind 1160) and these have been invaluable in making out first docking and marina manoeuvring experiences so much less stressful. It was still scary because well we’re new, but these enabled my husband and I to work as a team even when things didn’t go to plan and to communicate calmly and collectedly

Consider the 2Talk headsets from Cruising Solutions, also made by Sena with the exact same features, but way cheaper, ships for free, and they come with a nice carry case. More comfortable and more waterproof too!
@cruisingsolutions8056 Жыл бұрын
The new 2Talk headsets from Cruising Solutions are made by Sena, use all the same electronics as the SPH10s, but come packaged as a pair, along with a nice storage case, and at a significant discount to the SPH10s. Lighter, more comfortable, and more waterproof too. Also, no pairing required, because Cruising Solutions does it for you before sending them.

Per your suggestion, we have used them since we started cruising 2+ years ago and couldn't agree with you more. And to your point about yelling over wind, during our intitial briefing with new guests I tell them that I might be yelling but that I am NOT mad at them but just trying to be heard.
@OutChasingStars2 жыл бұрын
I like the briefing plan. It'd give me a convenient excuse for yelling during the few times when I may WANT to yell at guests. 😆

So glad you did this video. Just about every sailor who uses headphones has Eartec Ultralite and we where about to buy the same for our boat. The fact that these are designed for outdoor sports has us leaning towards the SENA. Have you had a chance to compare the two brands? We are hoping to use the ones that turn and and be ready to use the quickest and easiest…in addition to being durable and easy to charge.
@OutChasingStars Жыл бұрын
Haven't really compared the two. We've been pleased with the SENA and it only takes a few seconds to turn on/connect and we have great coverage anywhere on the boat. Even through the boat as well as we'll use the headsets if we're running wires or something else as well.

I am with you this one, yelling is no good and you need both hands too often. I don't have a pair but this will be on the Christmas list!

I have the waterproof UV9R radios. VHF, short wave, GMSR(outside the US or at your own risk) , a whole bunch of channels...10-12 mile range with VOX. $99US for a working pair of radios and headsets total.
@OutChasingStars2 жыл бұрын
Interesting. Can you use them to have a normal conversation or is it more like a VHF where you can only transmit one at a time?
@allynonderdonk75772 жыл бұрын
@@OutChasingStars It is one at a time. We say "over" sometimes when things get hectic...you can even get long whip antennas that you can unfold and get a lot more range. There are other models too that have higher output(watts), but are more expensive and often not waterproof.
@OutChasingStars2 жыл бұрын
There's always so many different ways to do things on a boat! Being able to converse normally is a requirement for us, but I'd definitely go the radio route before relying on shouting.

Not at all. There is a decent amount of flex with the headsets so I can adjust them to where they feel comfortable. But either way, we're not wearing them for very long.

Hi, we inherited our 2 Sena headsets when we bought our boat and they seemed to work ok at first, but now one of the headsets doesn't hold a charge at all. We think it's fully charged and then go to anchor and it lasts about a minute before it dies. I am now trying to do a firmware update on them both and I get a message saying No Device Recognized... so in looking around the internet for troubleshooting tips, I ran into this video of yours, which I am sure we've watched before, but didn't realize at the time we'd be owning the same pair of headsets. Anyway, if any of our issues sound familiar and you know the fix, please let us know. Thanks!
@OutChasingStars Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately, we haven't had similar issues or know of any potential fix. ☹ Hopefully you can figure out a firmware update and it's not just a dead battery.
@douglasmontgomery63152 жыл бұрын
David, another good video. Glad I watched to the end. When you said they were using Bluetooth 3 I was like..WTF?...that typically only gives about 33-200 foot range. Not to mention like 10 year old standard. Then you mentioned like a 900 METERS (2700 feet). I was like..huh?. Anyway, guess they don't NEED to update to BT 5.0. Thanks again
