I have a Uclear HBC 100. I kinda wish I had gotten the Sena, but I didn't. My problem has been the music volume from the iPhone over the bluetooth. I installed the LouderLogic app and it's made a big difference. The music is louder and it equalizes the volume for all the music. So some tunes that were barely legible are are now quite listenable... So for the time being I'm ok with the unit. If it gets unbearable then I'd seriously consider the newer Sena.

This is my first Blue Tooth head set for a motorcycle and I love it. Every part works as I thought it would. Pairing was simple and the wife loves it. She can talk to me now for the whole ride(yeah me). I don't think you will go wrong. My riding friends are now looking into get rid of their units and getting the Sena. Quality produce in my eyes.

I have the SMH-10 but I use it mostly for my Garmin GPS.  The helmet speakers aren't exactly music quality and are very bass shy so don't expect iPod quality listening.  But I think it's a fairly good compromise between listening to Derek Trucks and hearing the truck that's about to run you down.

Kind of a funny story.  I kept hearing this elevator-like "ding, ding" in my headset which I presumed was the Sena attempting to pair with another bluetooth transceiver in the vehicle next to me.  I griped about this on another forum but nobody knew what I was talking about, even those with the same model of Sena + Garmin.  Then somebody said, "Wait, did you install the Trapster update to your Garmin?  If so, those dings are to warn you about reported speed traps."

Three dings means the battery is low.

It's true that the helmet speakers are a long way from high fidelity, but here's two ways to improve the sound:

1:  If the ear cavity in your helmet is deep, the speakers may be removed too far from your ears; use some packing foam (I used pieces cut from the packing included with the Sena) behind the speakers to bring them closer to your ears, and;

2:  If you are using your iPhone as an iPod, you can download one of several equalizer apps which will give you quite a bit of flexibility in getting the tones you want from your tunes. I use one tat allows you to make as many pre-sets as you want, which is handy for different riding conditions.
