We just got back from a five week cruise here in New Zealand and used our headphones quite a bit. I am so thrilled with them, I’m putting up another post for those who haven’t seen the last one (here – with the details).
We spent a fortune and bought Sena headsets that were TERRIBLE! They only lasted a few months and during the brief time they worked, they were very difficult to use with battery life measured in the tens of minutes. Finally, one set quit charging completely and that was the end of that ill-fated investment.
We really liked the idea of easy communication from the helm to the bow when anchoring, or from the boat to the dock when docking. I set out to find a replacement for Sena’s crap. AliExpress to the rescue. We bought a $100NZ motorcycle helmet intercom and two inexpensive headphones and put it all together to make what has been the perfect wireless intercom system. There are details in the post linked above. -Rich
