Covertibles Quest. 2: how much 'wind noise' does caller hear with top down? Does volume distort if turned to max?

Hi Dave. I hav'nt used my unit in a convertible, but have used with windows down. It seems to handle wind noise fairly well. The unit is very clear for its size and does not seem to distort much at high volume ( my hearing is not so good anymore). I think its a good little unit for the money.

It seems the speaker cannot pick up your voice when it's above you head but picks up the voice when it's in the console. With a convertible it may pick up to much sound from the wind and would be hard to hear.

I'm not sure. My husband uses it In his Vet with the top off. Not quite a convertible, but close. Works ok. Haven't used at top volume. We can test and get back to you in a week though.

Well, I downloaded an app for my phone but I do not trust it. My mild speaking voice is registering at 90dB on the app. I can give you an estimate though. Talking is between 50-65dB and I can talk to my wife without raising my voice while she has it on high. So, I'd guess it falls around 55ish.

Not very. I was actually surprised by the lack if noise. I can carry on a conversation without raising my voice with the fan on max. You know its running, but it's quite tolerable. With a speed switch reducing the flow to less than max you have to listen for the fan.

its really weird that I got this question today. Up until about 3 days ago it was perfect. People could hear from quite a distance. Now in the car people cannot understand what I'm saying. Its very sensitive but it seems like you're not blocking noise. Its not blocking noise. I was thinking of calling them to find out what was up. Been real disappointed lately period last 3 4 days

Wind noise has not been a problem for me. The bigger problem is that if your phone is in the back pocket of your jersey your head and body seems to interfere with the blue tooth connection. I find that looking behind to the left causes a temporary loss of connection. This isn't a problem for music, but it is for listening to books. This doesn't happen when the phone is on your arm or on the handle bars.

There is some slight wind noise through the mic but I installed the Vega speaker pads I found on Amazon from Orange Choppers in Florida and it helped tremendously. There is a noise cancellation setting in the Sena that you can also use and it helps.

Glad to help...People often see to be able to tell when I am using the headphones....when in low to med noise environments the output is great. Seemingly the headphones do not defeat exterior noise so the result is often a mixture of everything that is going on my side of the call. Functionality is awesome...as long as you're in an enviro that is not noisy you will love 'em.

I haven't owned the "GO 730" to compare to, but this one DEFINITELY has high volume. It startled me when it spoke and I needed to turn it down. I am not a fan of blasting my radio with hard rock and driving with the windows down though, so I guess it could be considered not loud enough in those conditions.

At low-medium it's almost silent. High is not too disruptive, turbo is loud enough it will interfere a bit.

The volume on mine has been fine! I would think anything would be hard to hear if you have the window down!

The wind effects the mic. I only use it for the blue tooth music capability. My friend has full face helmet and it effects it alittle bit.

Not that I have found. The instructions aren't all that great either. I had to google how to even get the volume to turn down. But it works great for when I'm outside, like camping and stuff.

Yes and in my opinion the wind noise canceling function is not helping a great deal and I am using an external mic cutting off the build in mic altogether. It is very much easier to protect the external mic from the wind and the sound quality is getting better.

It's like a low, deep growl and not some high pitched whine most of the other counter-top appliances make. It's never an overriding sound that interrupts conversation; listening to TV or music your mileage will vary based on your preferences. I used a decibel meter on the iPhone and it registered ~75 from 3 feet and 70 from 10 feet when on; normal background level was 45-50 around my large room.

hi, I turned it up as much as could( I live in an apartment complex). I did not notice any disturbances. unfortunately I cannot tell what decibels it was.

Not at all. On the first 3 settings you can not hear it at all. On the fourth setting you can hear airflow as you would from a fan on high but still not noisy. It is so quite and works so well I just ordered a second one for another room in my house. 100% happy with this product

You can turn the volume low enough that you cannot hear it. Check your settings.
