i have an ls2 ff386 modular helmet. the chin skirt is pretty tight - will the boom or button mic work on this helmet?

Well, if you can route the cable in there, the button mike will surely work. The boom most definitely won't.

button mic is small and has a self adhesive velcro tab you can easily place inside on a smooth surface and tuck it away.

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 .

Hello. The button mic sounds like your best option for proper fitment behind the chin skirt. Most liners will pop out or allow a thin wire to be ran behind them for proper audio setup.Thanks.

Trying to find a shockmount for a MXL.006 Microphone and can't determine what will fit other than mfgs. rather expensive mount. Any Help?

I understand what you want to do, because I did the same thing. I did not use the microphone on a cable I use the detachable boom mike. It works great! I have the same helmet. I sandwiched it between the cheek piece and the other piece. The end of the boom mike has a round Velcro and sticks to the material of the helmet. If you want pictures let me know.

The -10 has a boom mic that is directly connected to the helmet mounting piece while the -11 has a detached boom mic that Velcro's to the inside of your helmet. The -11 also comes with a small mic not on a boom that you can Velcro directly to the jaw guard on the front of a full face helmet directly in front of your mouth, out of the wind. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. The mounted boom is better if you have an open faced helmet. With a full face though, you have to bring the mounted boom down under the jaw guard and you really can't get it positioned well in front of your mouth. The one thing to be careful of with either one is that the wires are a bit delicate and need to be protected from being pulled on. They can be damage rather easily.

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!

I believe everything except the microphone will work with a half helmet. The microphone might work, but indoor by the quality will be good. I would suggest buying a set of boom mics to go with it

Yes. For open face helmets you have to choose the kit with attachable boom microphone. If you enjoy listening to radio, it works pretty good.

You'd probably have a lot of wind noise for each other and have to likely speak very loudly. I've used them with a friend with both of us using 3/4 helmets, but we both had shields on them. There was a good bit of wind noise that way, so I'd imagine you'll just have it amped up. Engine noise isn't so much an issue as the wind blowing directly into and swirling around your face and the microphone.

I use the detachable boom with my Scorpion modular helmet. I use the SMH-A301 Helmet Clamp Kit with my half shell. Pay attention to your side straps when making your selection. There are different models designed to work with the v-shaped straps for the speakers. Also remove the foam from the boom and make sure the hole is pointed toward you. Sometimes, mine get pointed forward and excessive noise results.

The controller will clip to nearly any helmet (full, 3/4, or open), but you would need to purchase/use the optional boom microphone (not the velcro mount mic included in this kit) for open or 3/4 helmets. You could also just purchase the SMH5-01 kit that does include a boom mic. With the 02 kit you will not be able to find a suitable/convenient place in an open or 3/4 helmet to mount the mic. http://www.amazon.com/Sena-Attachable-Microphone-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B008BYQ8JO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393459829&sr=8-1&keywords=sena+boom

My wife and I both use these on half-helmets. We put them on Scorpion Exo-100 helmets. These come with a removable ear skirt and it is a perfect fit for the speakers if you want to use them versus ear buds, which I am sure would also work well. Have been using them for over one year this way.

By the way, the Sena SMH-A0302 that is shown here is great for full-face and modular helmets. If you have an open-face 3/4 helmet, the SMH-3A0301 is a better choice because of it's fixed boom mic. The SMH-A0303 would work best for shorty 1/2 helmets that have open ears because you would use your own earbuds since your ears are covered by the helmet. I've never used an audio set-up on a 1/2 helmet so I don't know how well it would work, but I do recommend the first 2 products.

it fits both, with mic options for both. I will, however, say that it will probably not mount on your HALF helmet. The clamp would be too high on your head.

Yes, I have mine installed in a full face helmet. You might want to tape down the boom mike with some soft-side velcro.

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)

The clamp piece that goes beneath the liner of the helmet is the same for both kits. You would have to unscrew the ear bud one and put on the speaker one.

I have a Giro Fuse helmet that came with the S805 audio system. I believe the helmet was sold with or without the audio system so make sure it has the correct ear pads.
