Hello folks!

I've been working on perfection my sound quality, here is the run down:

for almost 3 years I've been using Sena 10C as my main camera
The biggest benefit from it, I get a good sound quality from the built in headset.
I've transferred my setup in 3 helmets so far.

The Sena headset comes with 2 microphones, a wired one, and a stiff boom mic.

For all this time, I've been using the wired microphone (the bottom one)
placed it near my cheek pad with the stock sponge for wind blocking.

One day, the wired mic died on me.
Bummer, but I still have the boom mic that I've never used.
Swapped it.
and bought a dead cat wind muffler from Ebay to replace the stock sponge cover.

I've moved the microphone from near my cheek pads, to as far as I can from me.

I've also changed the bottom wind deflector of the helmet to a longer and less perforated one

And now, after all of this changes. time to put it to the test!


And now, I need to know what you think
Do you have any idea on how to make it even better?
the audio is stock from the camera, without any editing or enhancing.

Sounds great for the speed, the wind is there, but you'd want a little bit of wind noise to help give a sense of pace. Your speech is very clear! :)

edit.... have just seen you are wearing a dual sport/adventure style helmet too, normally the peak adds a wedge of wind noise too, so if you did want to remove more wind (you don't need to as said before) you could try it with the peak removed and see if that makes it any quieter? :)

Thanks, I can't really remove my peak, my helmet Mohawk is mounted on it.

It sounds really decent, a bit muffled ofc but with some minor enhancements in editing it will do great for vlogs.

Only thing I notice is kinda the lack of engine sound, it that an electric Husqvarna?
