We started to use our C4s and SC1A intercoms this spring.
Manufacture date on the helmets is Feb 2018 and we purchased them from Engle Motors in Kansas City.
This is our first time using intercom on our bikes.
Helmet fit and feel is good, similar to to our previous HJC Sy-Max II and Schuberth Concept before those.
I always wear ear plugs but noticed this last week on a couple 200 miles rides without ear plugs the helmet was quiet enough.
I'll probably still use ear plugs on long rides.
Ventilation is better than any other helmets we have owned.
On a trip to Texas we were disappointed the SC1a did not have enough volume. Intercom and music was only loud enough at slow speed.
After the trip I checked settings and turned Audio Boost on. This did not help much.
Moving the speakers helped but not enough.
Rode down to KC to have Adam check my SC1A and he agreed the volume was lower than his Sena 20S. He also checked my settings and did not see a problem.
Later in the week he contacted Sena they suggested I change my firmware back to 1.0. We were using the current 1.1
This made a big difference in volume.
Intercom worked good on our ride to the Iowa Rally and back.
When I tried music last week on the two rides without ear plugs I only had the volume set at level 2 or 3. I think there's 5 levels.
