Hope you get it worked out.

I have 2018 CVO Streetglide and the wife and I use the Sena 20 Evo wireless intercom to communicate. My wife uses a half helmet and we continually get wind noise over 40 MPH. We have tried all the settings to reduce this but even at the lowest VOX setting it still happens...anyone find a fix for this??I also have the sena 20 EVO headsets using them with half helmets with wind noise. Download the sena app and connect your headset via bluetooth and turn off most all features. I was using the CB with friends riding with the bike intercom off and had wind noise, turned off the side tone, the HD and some other stuff and the wind noise was no longer a problem. I also have moved the Vox setting in the app from the factory setting from 6 to 3 as the lower you go the harder to break the vox. Take off your wind sock on your boom mike and you will find there is a hole in the front, don’t ask me why but it allows wind to break the vox so cover with tape or one guy used hot melt glue to seal up and replace the wind sock. My back seat rider has not ridden in the cold as we live in Ohio so not sure if this works with the intercom on but sure worked with the CB. We will find out more when the weather gets better and the snow and salt is gone. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any luck. As for now I loved the wired set up I had with my 2016 Ultra CVO now with the 19 Ultra the wireless headsets is what you get on the CVO.

Thank you for that bit of information. I just bought a set of the 30k's and am totally ignorant about how to make it work, but leaning. I am going to pull the wind socks on them and see if that hole exists on them too.
In laymen terms I am understanding that the VOX settings control how loud a noise has to be to cause the mic to function?

Not so much with the wireless as they have there own setting. You can close the VOX on the bike and use the PTT ( push to talk) button on the handle bar if you have that button on the bike. On my Ultra CVO I have the CB so I do have that button for myself and my BSR which will only open the mike when the button is pressed, kind of a pain in the butt but will only have wind noise when your are talking to your BSR. Just don’t use the CB when using that feature as you will be having a conversation with everyone riding with you with their CB on LOL.

Thank you. That was what I thought it was. Wife and I have looked like a couple goons the last couple weeks sitting in here on the couch with our helmets on trying to figure out how to and what all these things will do. :huepfenjump3:

I know the feeling, we did the same thing, there is a little too much on the headsets, you can even listen to a radio station and not even be near the bike. Just make sure you download the app on your phone and turn a lot of the features off. I also had a problem with the headset pairing to the phone instead of the bike so I had to turn off the bluetooth on my phone so it would pair to the bike. Haven’t had time to figure how to stop that but not riding now due to the weather in Ohio.No issue with pairing to the bike..09. All of our is bluetooth between helmets and phones. You are correct on the phone app. Without it we would probably never get the helmets paired or communicating. We are playing with the bluetooth multitasking now and this is where the wind noise that the OP was talking about may be an issue keeping the mic always open

Thanks for the information....however, I don't have the option to use PTT button on the StreetGlide..... I love the headsets, but are useless on half helmets... Another example in my mind where HD doesn't test these systems thoroughly before selling them to the customer.Have you changed the VOX setting on the headsets as the VOX setting on the bike doesn’t seem to matter? Have you covered the mike opening on the back side of the boom mike under the wind sock as I cannot think of a reason they put it there other than to pick up wind noise? Also have you turned off the side tone on the headsets as that allows background noise?

Have you tried using a denser mic spung (mic wind baffle) ?

You do know that hole should be facing you. my wife and I both use Sena 20s with Half helmets with no problems up to about 70 miles per hour. You can always use a bigger and denser wind screen.

This is off a 30K, but correct me if I am wrong. The mic has a holes on both sides but according to the Sena directions the finned side should point away from your mouth. So that put one hole towards your mouth and the second hole pointed to the air. What's the purpose of the hole towards the air?

The 3 20 s head sets that I have only have a hole on 1 side.Chuck, On the newer set that I received with the 2019 CVO ultra also has a mike hole on the front side ( don’t ask me why) so that was the hole I was referring to to cover up with tape, silicone, or as one did hot melt glue and eliminated wind noise. I turned off side volume and now don’t have wind noise using the CB but have not tried with the intercom as of the snow and salt in Ohio and Kathy has not ridden with me since the cold weather.
