• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Sena 30k Speaker Upgrade

I have a Sena 30K head set and wanted to try upgrading the speakers with the new 50s speakers. I ordered a set of 50s speakers from Sena and it turned out to be a plug and play for the Sena 30k. It worked out real well the new speaker sound much better than the OEM speakers i.e. louder and seem to have more bass in them. How I tested; I had the 30k on an FM station and listen to it for about 20 min. than I installed the 50s speakers and had the same FM station playing, right off I had to turn the volume down just a little was to loud and I could hear some bass sounds in the music that I did not hear before. So if any one was wondering if they can upgrade the speakers in the 30k with 50s speakers the answer is yes. I like the sound of the 50s speakers much better. :thumbup:
 
It's incredible how much we pay for products and then have to spend even more just to get quality. Thanks for the info.
 
do you mean the 20S EVO? If so the answer is yes and motorcycle has these at a great price. I put them in my helmet and they made a big difference. I could stand to listen classical music again because I could now hear the bass and the high better and things weren't muddy sounding.

What a relief! I thought I was the only rider out there who listens to classical music. Thanks Paul.
 
Would also like to know about the 10's. We use ours for bike to bike com only, but improved sound would be good. We get three to four blocks "straight line" at the moment.
 
That and Offenbach's Orpheus in the Underworld = Can Can. The Flight of the Valkyries, and Dance of the Hours will do nicely too. Seriously, even though I ride aggressively (when solo) I prefer no or mellow music.
 
I upgraded to the new Sena speakers today and have to agree with CopperSpyder about the upgrade. I purchased from motorcycledave and they arrived in 3 days. The first thing I noted on boot up was the volume of the boot up announcement was much louder but honestly that didn’t mean a lot. The first few minutes I couldn’t discern that much of a difference because I was listening to a station playing music I wasn’t that familiar with. I typically use Spotify so when I listened to my usual playlist the difference became immediately apparent because I could compare it with the previous speakers.

There is indeed a difference. There is better volume, at least to me, so I’m assuming they improved the efficiency somewhat. I also noticed a much better depth to the sound and I’m hearing things I wasn’t hearing before. Would I still like more bass? yes, but at my age who knows how different my hearing is to someone else’s.

To make a long story short if you have a spare 40 bucks or so and want improvement in sound quality I’d go for the upgrade. I’ve got no regrets. It’s two cases of beer cheap and I’m fat enough so what the heck. (Full confession I’ll probably buy the beer too! Lol) By the same token you are not getting Bose or Apple Beats level sound either, but you also aren’t spending 200 bucks.

MotorcycleDave had the best price I could find. (And just in case it needs to be said I received no special discount nor was there any request for endorsement. I bought my 30ks from him too, again for the same reason, best price I could find other than disreputable sellers on ebay)
