Helmet comms

[Burnham]

Paul, you really need a business manager...but that thought leads me to...a marketing specialist...someone for website maintenance...a shipping department...and with all that of course, someone to deal with human resources responsibilities.

Let's see...5 employees times $50k average cost/year = $250k/year. Plus $100k for you as head of the R&D shop, with a couple of grunts to do the dirty parts and maybe another 3 to assemble the products...$100k + 5 x $50k =$350k...totals up to $700k/year personnel overhead.

That's a lot of Wraptors, Hitch Hikers, and comm helmets to sell .

Isn't being a sucsessful entrepreneur fun?

Lovely campus, one of the most beautiful in America.

Ahh screw... my initial web search had it 15 minutes from Paul, but that was wrong... its a bit over 2 hours

We finally put these to the test today. My groundie was standing at the chipper running a saw having a conversation with me... Words were clear as day!! I've read all your reviews and watched a lot of YouTube videos of guys on motorcycles, actual use was even more impressive. These headsets produce clear sound And range is pretty impressive as well.
I particularly enjoyed the pandora radio and still being able to talk to my groundie if needed.

Found out something new yesterday, we had a huge crane job and I bought a SPH 10 unit for my crane op to wear so I could comunicate easily. I was amazed and extatic to find that you can have 3 people paired together, yup we could all talk and hear each other as normal. I should say that my units are about a year old so not the same software as the new ones so I should check to see if this works on the ones we are selling.....

 

[SouthSoundTree]

When will you have these on your website, do you reckon?

 

[PCTREE]

hopefully this week

 

[maggies dad]

What is your web site address?

 

[rumination]

www.ropetekwraptor.com


You should put in your signature Paul.

 

[maggies dad]

Well Crap, There goes a lot more of my money!

 

[brendonv]

Not sure if I missed it.

Are you using the universal microphone kit, or the mic that is hard into the unit?

 

[PCTREE]

universal

 

[brendonv]

Thanks, bought a set.

I'm particularly impressed with the phone call quality. I was grinding stumps and called my friend just to see how bad it was. He asked me if I was driving in my truck... I was 2.5 feet from a wide open Carlton grinder!
I could hardly hear myself talking, he didn't hear any background noise!

 

[MasterBlaster]

That's amazing!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nice!

I had 3 going this morning as well. Looking forward to blind crane jobs now!

hooked up my Sena system just now on one helmet.

Nice units, music sound is nice, and so is phone sound.

Not sure about the weight out back though.

I ran the speakers into the muffs, zip tied all pretty.

I can do this for you for 19.95 plus shipping..............Kidding, of course!

 

[brendonv]

One of the speaker wires is really short, I wish they made both of them long, that way you can flip both muffs whichever way you wish. The right muff will only stow backwards.

 

[PCTREE]

Yup that short wire is a PITA. For the money these things freakin rock dont they!! Its just another tool that if it broke I would have to buy again tomorrow. Ive had mine now for about a year and no issues to date. Weird thing is Sena will only sell to motorcycle stores???

Only thing that kinda worries me is the radiation we are exposing ourselves to with these......

 

[arborworks1]

Does that hat have a coat of wax on it!!( sorry I know that is old,but it was hard to resist)

 

[brendonv]

No Wax! It's been a while, although my pickup did get a treatment last week...

I'm curios about that new mode, Paul. I'm thinking the battery can go up front to balance the weight. It's not bad with the muffs on, but once you flip them up it's tippy. Thanks for the heads up, anxious to get them on a job with someone else.

I'm wondering if you can extend that one wire, say the right way with solder and heat shrink. Have to run it by my electronic mind brother.

 

[PCTREE]

I have never noticed an unbalance issue with the Kask helmet, what do you think Scott?

 

[brendonv]

i cant get on with the full foam inside the kask
