How does the boom mike attach? i.e., do you glue the (non-mike) end to the helmet somewhere, or does it attach to the clamp kit somehow?

It attaches to the helmet with an adhesive on non-mic end... The Sena is a awesome unit and I really like the fact it now is compatible with other brands of BT units out there.

There are two types of mike. The boom, and just a mike on the end of a wire. The boom has Velcro an should attach to your helmet between the main padding and the liner. I tried this on my half helmet and it worked ok. The other mike also has Velcro on the back. I fed it into the strap on my half so that it rests below my ear so it can pick up the vibrations when I talk. This works well, but it taks some adjusting. And sometimes I just hold my hand over the strap while talking. While tucked in between the leather of my strap, the mike is shielded from the wind but picks up my voice well. For my full face, I just used the small mike and velcro'd it to the inside of the chin guard. There are two types of mike. The boom, and just a mike on the end of a wire.

You could glue it but might create issues later. The MIC should have a piece of velcro on the base end (opposite of the microphone), put a piece of velcro inside the helmet under the cheek pad and then place your mic base end there. This allows you to remove the mic to replace it if anything goes wrong and won't destroy the helmet taking it off.

It connects to clamp with a qdSticky velcros where ever you wantThe ear bud attachment point is a little fragile best to secure it with a zip tie and use the extension cord

The round part of the non-mic end of the boom had Velcro hook on it. The kit has a sticky of the Velcro that you attach to the helmet wherever you need it. Mine is positioned close to the wireless module and it is a surprisingly good system to mount it.

All the prior answers are right- but one obvious thing that didn't occur to me originally:I have modular helmet, and the boom mic on the default clamp was difficult to tuck up and under the face shield.After adhering the boom mic between the shell and the cheek pad, I suddenly realized that the mic was now "inside" the helmet- and pulling the face shield down was simple, now. the mic didn't have to wind from the bottom outside of the helmet to the inside.So for a modular, adhering the boom mic with velcro inside is much better than the standard boom!

If you look at the photo the circle area of the boom mic(non-mic) has velcro on it's opposite side, the kit comes with a matching circle with 3m tape on 1 side and velcro on the other. So to answer your question, just 3m tape. I have 2 of these Sena clamps and 1 of the other style where the boom mic is apart of the clamp and I haven't had issues out of any of them. Hope this helps.

You can use the hook and loop provided, but I got outdoor strength and cut it to size, because I live in Arizona. And regular adhesives don't last in this heat. If you want it attached to the clamp, you have to get the other version, 303 I believe.

I use earbuds that fit onto the ear. However I use this clamp on a half helmet. For a full helmet get the clamp with the speakers.

The Carlo Scala Rider Q1 Teamset has hook and loop velcro so that you can attach anywhere on the outside or inside of helmet. It's not a good way to attach it. My husband used one of the clamping screws to mount it to the helmet base. And that works great!!

Yes that's right - it's attached to the side of the helmet with a Velcro / adhesive patch. I installed it in my wife's modular helmet and it's been quite secure. Was worried at first but it's done very well.

They also offer a helmet mount in several variations, I know that is not much help if you already own a mount though. It would not surprise me if they have your mount available and try it out their first. They have done that for me several times.

Its designed to have the mic and speakers mounted inside the helmet. You may be able to connect a standard set of headphones to the module but even that is meant to attach to the helmet. I personally only use the unit for rider to rider communication. Sorry if I'm not much help.

I thought I was getting a boom mic for use with my modular helmet. I was a little disappointed when I saw the button mic. As it turned out the wired button mic (no boom) worked well to be attached to the cheek padding. That doesn't answer your question but might affect your decision.

you would need to get a BOOM mic for your helmet. my specific helmet is full faced so my mic attaches inside my helmet

The piece securing it is a very elastic rubber. It can probably be tweaked to fit most helmets.

Yes, it comes with everything. you can clamp mount or adhesive mount, i recommend clamp mounting. the speakers come with adhesive velcro strips to attach to the inside of the helmet, although they way the speakers are made, they often dont need it it grasps right onto the inner lining.

Yes, but make sure you get appropriate one for the helmet type. I had to use heavy duty velcro on the boom mic to prevent it from detaching from the exterior of the helmet

Yes they can, with the boom microphone. Some helmets, depending on curves, may require the adhesive mount.

I had to rig mine. But I was able to remove the screw and mount it came with. used a dremil and a thick piece of plastic and make a mount for my gopro. A totally easier way, is to just zip tie it, or wire tie it to your helmet through some existing holes in the helmet.

There is an adhesive Velcro that you connect to the helmet. The 2 strips connect and it is a pretty good bond. You could always just direct glue or drill some holes and screw it in..

There are three little tabs that pinch against the helmet. The instructions that come with it are simple. I drilled 3 holes in the helmet foam and perma glued in (only because I'm different). Great tool for a road rider

I attached ot to the clear mount where the bolt and screw attach and then use the sticky anchor on my helmet. I still have my camera so I guess it works.
