Digital communication for riders is vital. Nothing is worse than hearing “failure to connect” when your riding partner is going down the wrong side of the road in a left-side-drive country. Or when they can’t tell you to merge right in time for the next exit.
I know—not everybody likes to fidget with gadgetry on their bikes or helmets. However, consider that along with being able to talk with your partner, listening to music on your smartphone via Bluetooth is rather nice, too. Your favorite tunes on a long weekend ride or in a traffic jam can really lift your spirits and keep you calm on your bike.
I love the idea of this updated version having noise control for filtering out wind and background noise, along with its promise for crystal-clear conversations. I think this could save many relationships.
Below is a recent press release (unedited) directly from Sena for the updated 3S Plus Boom and 3S Plus Universal.
