I see the unit can be mounted on a half helmet. Mic positioning obvious enough. Where do the ear pieces go?

I have a half helmet, but haven't tried to use my Sena with that one. Mine's a Scorpion model helmet that has a "Y" shaped chin strap on each side that is padded and covers the ears, so it would be easy to mount on mine. The mid point of the "Y" is directly over my ears, so gives me a good place to mount the speakers. I haven't noticed what type of strap other half helmets have... Hope this helps.

Great question. As I have a full face modular, I have no idea. Maybe the Sena website can answer this for you. Sorry.

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

From what I've read I think you would at lest use a 3/4 helmet. You would have to have an anchor point for the boom mic and ear covers to use the provided head set.

If you have a half shell with boom mic there will be some background noise but you can cut most if it out with either cupping the mic with your hand or with a full face helmet.

Although it probably depends on the helmet, I can get to controls with the 2 helmets I own. I prefer the controls near my ears as they are with my old motorola headset but for $12 I can live with this :)Regarding complaints about sound quality, I was able to improve this significantly by using better fitting earbud covers than those supplied which we're quite small. Again, what do you expect for $12??

It has both options... A boom mic that attaches directly(for open face helmets)... And a boom mic with a pig tail (for closed face helmets)

Hi James , I cant say 100% but my helmets face lifts up also . I did a slight mod so the mic boom tucked up on the side . Works really good . I didnt want to use the mic because of the wire . That wouldnt work to good when lifting the front of helment .

It is hard to say. I have a full helmet with an adjustable front face. I have an area to connect my mic to. You would not have any place to put the speaker on so that you would be able to hear anything. I guess the best answer is I don't believe it will work for you.

The mic and speakers are made to mount on a helmet. I don't think you would want to Velcro the speakers and mic to your head. If you could find a mic/ headset like phone operators use it might work. The problem is the plug is different. I tried to find one and could not. But the unit works great. I hate helmets but maybe you might want to use one for the convenience and the safety.

No, i think is not possible to use it without the helmet, because the microphone and the speakers must be held in the helmet and the transmitter must be fitted on one side of the helmet

James,I purchased this unit. It does come with mounting hardware and ear speakers. The speakers were round, and fit well in the ear cavity on the inside of my helmet. I did notice my ears touching the pad afterwards, but then my ears stick out further than most people's.Brian

While I do not know the design of your helmet, this Sena set has all the mounting options. The most common is to clamp it at the neck edge of the helmet. If all else fails, they have "gluable" bases that you can put anywhere . The speaker wires slide under the padding and Are held I place by Velcro pads. The units come with several thicknesses of pads so you can control how close they rest to your ears.If the jaw covering of the helmet is rigid, non-moving, you need the separate mic pad, if it's movable, will swing up, you need the mic held on a flex arm coming off the main mount. I think you can alter this mic setup on either type. While I do not know the design of your helmet, this Sena set has all the mounting options.

Yes they can be used under a helmet. I was using it under a snowboard helmet and it worked fine. My issue was that it was very hard to get the unit to key up using VOX. You can use the PTT button on the radio to talk if you'd like. The headset can do VOX or PTT transmissions.

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

I know it came with a couple of options to mount it on the helmet. It also has 2 options of microphones to accommodate the type of helmet you have. I really like having my scala rider.
