Our boat came with a set of headphones (Tech Link brand). Over the head style with fixed microphone. They run on 9V batteries and are definitely better than yelling, or trying to make up hand signals, or just not knowing. However, we found that they often buzz, sometimes quite loudly, and they pickup wind noise in addition.
This year we bought a set of Eartec (one ear) headset with a spare battery, but due to Covid have only tested them at home. I like the idea of user replaceable batteries, to me that is a biggie.
Our good friends have Eartec (belt pack style) and other than the belt pack, they really like them. Neither them nor us have used Sena.
