Correct. Once you install the base units on various helmets, there is just a quick release that allows you to pop the unit off of one helmet and on to another. It also makes firmware updates and charging in your home or hotel room easy.
Generally the units carry more than enough charge for a full days worth of riding. Battery life is typically 7+ non-stop, if you turn it off while eating lunch, etc. but if turn it off at lunch and breaks , you can stretch a longer day out of it.
That said, I did purchase a powerlet plug adapter that i added to an old phone charger that I had laying around. It used that same mini-USB and had a full sized cigaret lighter plug which I cut off. Comes in handy if it dies earlier than expected or if you forgot to charge it the night before. Optionally you could buy a rechargeable battery pack.

Thanks Sean, I think that helps. I guess I figured I would install the unit on 1 helmet, the one I use for trips. I guess what you are saying is you can buy several 304 kits (or what works best on a FF vs a modular) and then the SMH10 just plugs and plays on each of them? Do you use an on bike power unti or just rely on the off-line USB charge?

We ordered the A0304, for use with the earbuds and the wired or boom mic. We found we much prefer the small button type wired mic. The boom is better for open face or modular. As far as changing the mic, they plug in and could be easily changed, except that the wired one velcros in at the front of the chin piece of the FF helmet. So you would have to secure that thin wire out of the way if you wanted to change to the boom on the same helmet. I am not sure why you would, but it can be done.If you own more than one helmet, just order a clamp kit that best suites each helmet type and the SMH-10 unit easily swaps between them.- Sean
Sent from my iPhone--Hi fellow RATSI am looking at getting a Sena SMH10. I have a set of Ear,Inc custom ear plugs with the speakers. I want to use those instead of the in-helmet speaker pads that come with the SMH10. Will those plug right into that unit? Do the standard speaker pads detach or do you have to cut them off? It seems like the Sena web page suggests you need a Helmet Plug kit like the A0303 to use ear buds but that seems to double up on the mics and adds another helmet-attachable device.. Does anyone have some experience buying this stuff to know the simplest option to get what I want, the SMH10 unit, the ear plug in and the option to use the boom mic or the universal mic. If you want this to charge while on the bike, do you need another optional accessory too?Thanks, Norm
