[QUOTE="BigOgre, post: 1417633, member: 8712"] Got in a few hour ride yesterday. Actually more like a lunch run but it did total 150 miles albeit half slab. Anyway, point being I was aware of the sound from my Sena speakers just because of this thread. Now I'm not trying to convince anyone but for me, with foam earplugs, they were completely acceptable. Definitely not sound quality like decent earbuds but good enough to enjoy what I was listening to on Pandora. Two things that might have helped form this opinion: First, during the install, it wasn't just moving the speakers around in the helmet pocket so they were centered over the ear but it was also building up behind them to get them closer. I remember fiddling with scrap pieces of foam with different thicknesses to get them just close enough without rubbing uncomfortably on the ear. And second, got a new phone over the winter so maybe? it puts out a little more umph? I do need to remember to adjust the media volume separately from the other volumes on the phone, this is important, but had to do that on my last one also. With that full on along with the Garmin set to 100% for media also, I''ll only go full volume on the jog dial of my 20s while slabbing. Secondary roads I'll usually turn it down some and stops for gas etc. gets it down quite a bit. YMMV. Guess I just got lucky. [/QUOTE]
