Saw this in the latest snail mail catalog: Boom! Audio SPH10 Bluetooth Half Helmet Headset. I said, WTF? Really? So I went online to see what's up. The description says all the right words - intercom, voice control, etc. Then I read the last line: Not compatible with Harley-Davidson® Original Equipment Boom!™ Audio radio or communication systems. Again, I say, WTF??
Why would they call it a BOOM! and not have it compatible?
Does anyone think this may harbinger the upgrade of the BOOM! to support full bluetooth? Some how I doubt it.

SMH

 

Maybe for some reason they're saying it wouldn't work with the headset that comes with the bikes from the factory which isn't very good to begin with. Possibly the Bluetooth won't work with a wired headset.

 

HD is crazy like a fox.

Boom! Audio SPH10 Bluetooth Half Helmet Headset.

*Buy this and find out it won't work unless you buy something else and throw the stock part we put on in the trash; BOOM!, Mo Money*

 

Everything like this is grouped as an upgraded because what finally makes it out of the factory is outdated. Sorry but I have to say this - Long Live The King!!!

 

This basically looks like a mutant creation of a Sena SMH10. I've got an SMH10 and it will Bluetooth to virtually everything, but the Infotainment system. It was a miscalculation by Harley to not include that function in the Infotainment system IMHO. The catalog is misleading. I can see someone purchasing the headset thinking that it will connect if they don't read the entire description across all the tabs. One of the diagrams even says "Infotainment Connectivity." That's a bit misleading.

 

It is just the Sena SPH10. Harley is just adding their name to the SENA line. Just like the SENA 20S.

 

Harley branded electronics, lol

 

I came across this a few months back and felt it was a complete misrepresentation giving the buyer the thought that they could use that headset to bluetooth into the BOOM audio system in lieu of the corded headset and that is not the case. The one statement that indicates it is not compatible with the BOOM system is buried below in the bottom of the page where most people won't see it.

 

I already own pack talk headsets that work good enough. Just don’t want to dump more money on something that I already have to get a feature that I don’t know will work or not.

 

Old thread. Dead link.
