SenaSMH10 Motorcycle Bluetooth Headset & Intercom

This is probably one of the best motorcycle-related purchases I've made. I've just returned from a short Euro trip and had chance to put this through its paces. I only really used it for bike-to-bike intercom so have barely scratched the surface of what this kit is capable of.As a bike-to-bike intercom I was massively impressed with how good it was. The claimed 900 yard distance probably isn't far off the mark. I'd suggest that's a straight, line of sight distance test, but all the same we were able to chat quite normally at French autoroute speeds at normal distances. Even when we did get slightly separated by other traffic and the distances increased to a few hundred yards and we were out of sight of each other we could still communicate with only a slight bit of crackle.Charge times are good. I didn't time it but I'm sure it didn't take more than a couple of hours to charge the battery from flat. From a full charge we used them for 3hrs to the ferry and most of the next day travelling to Normandy then back down toward Rennes, probably 400-500 miles worth of constant use over 8ish hours.I did link it in with my phone (which is my sat nav) and it was crystal clear, as you'd expect given the above.I also used it to receive a phone call on the way home and audio was exactly the same as you get on a car hands free kit at motorway speeds. No shouting, no crackling.Might be worth pointing out that all of this use was whilst wearing custom moulded ear plugs, so the volume capabilities are also excellent. In fact when I played music through the speakers you definitely wouldn't want it on full blast.The speakers, mic and wiring etc are all made of decent components and were easy to install. The speakers are much thicker than the ones you get with the cheap kits and it's clear to see why. Having said that, they fit nicely into my flip-front AGV helmet and caused no comfort issues whatsoever. The mic boom is long enough to tuck up under the chin bar. I had the mic set just to the left of my mouth; it wasn't necessary for it to be right in front of it and/or in contact. In fact, I was still able to hear my riding partner before he'd got to grips with the kit and hadn't tucked the mic inside the chin bar! A lot of wind noise but it was still better than our previous experiments with radios and helmet speaker kits.All in all, a fantastic piece of kit that made navigating, passing the time on boring motorway slogs and slagging of c*** drivers a breeze!Buy one, you won't regret it!

I bought this after some friends and I had tried the Interphone. We found this over complicated to operate and flakey at best when trying to connect 4 or more riders.One of my friends just decided to purchase the Sena and I followed suit expecting the same problems to occur with any Bluetooth intercom. Not so......... I won't go into detail because you can find numerous reviews on the Web. We've yet to try and connect more than 2 riders so I can't comment on this feature yet. There is a little bit of wind noise created by the unit fixed to the lid. The speakers don't have a great deal of Bass but can exceed safe volume levels. My buddy uses other more expensive speakers with good mid range and Bass. Crystal clear voice / noise cancelling.This Sena gets my 5 STARS It's worth every penny. Easy to use and adds to enjoyment of riding bike.Update: 4 Units connected and work successfully. They seek to reconnect automatically when range exceeded. I've got the speed dial programmed so if we do go out of range I can still make a quick call to my buddy using the cell phone network.One of our group has just purchased the latest Sena which claims to connect more than four riders (using the same model) although we did get his new unit paired and connected (total of 5 now) which worked some of the time. Possibly pushing the envelope of what is achievable with our existing units.

Did a bit of research before buying this unit because I wanted the best device for voice quality whilst on the phone, and I am not disappointed with that - it's crystal clear at 50mph, and still very usable at 70 (naturally wind noise is the issue from here upwards).Second most important criteria was the ability to upgrade the stock speakers for some with more bass for listening to music, and there is an accessory mount with this device that enables you to plug your own ear bud type headphones or as I will be doing some Tork Xpro speakers. This addresses the issue with most intercoms on the market - they have rubbish speakers meaning you can't enjoy music as you should.The stock speakers in the SMH-10 are very clear and loud, but lack any amount of bass, even if you place them in the optimum position and use the spacer provided to get it closer to your ear, it's still very disappointing whilst listening to music, especially considering the cost of the unit. I'd have given it 5 stars if it were not for this.Other than that the unit has more features than I actually wanted (can pair 4 units together for use as an intercom with a respectable range & music sharing & an audio input jack - what's the point of this on a BT device?)It is pretty easy to use and set-up. I did the firmware update first, no problem took 5 mins. Install into helmet was a bit fiddly, but I think that is partly due to my helmet (Shoei Qwest) not having a fully removable liner so ticking the wires away is a bit more fiddly. Paired it with my HTC 500 Desire and TomTom Rider 5 without issue too. One useful feature with this is you can adjust the volume of both devices independentlyOverall a well designed unit, it's a bit more bulky than the Sena 20S, but has the benefit of being able to choose your own aftermarket speakers, and does not need a separate battery mounting like on the SMH10R which is also thinner. Shame the speakers are very tinny with music (very hight treble) but I think it was primarily designed for voice than music. I'm hoping phone and intercom with passenger clarity will not suffer much from extra bass when I fit the new speakers.

Easy to install and makes the group rides way better.

Sena es calidad !! Se escucha súper bien y muy practico para tener conversaciones con los demás. Fácil de utilizar

Bought this particular product because of the reviews it had. My wife and I use it constantly when riding and it preformed better than expected. Easy to install and hook up to each other even tho I found you tube instructions easier than the paper instructions that came with it and the sound quality is perfect. No problem hearing each other even while travelling at highway speeds. A quick beep in my ear piece alerts me to her wanting to talk so all I need to do it press the jog dial and away we go. Only problem I find tho is that if I'm talking to much, she can turn her set off and not listen to me but because she's behind me, I cannot do the same. If she's talking to much and I turn my set off all she has to do is reach up and tap my jog dial to turn my head set back on lol. Over all its a really good system. Once fully charged it has a long battery life. We don't listen to music through it, only communication back and forth as we'd rather listen to our stereo system on the bike. I would highly recommend if you plan on travelling with a passanger or even with a group of friends as you can hook up to 4 headsets at once.

Es un buen producto, la instalación no fue tan sencilla por el tipo de casco que tengo, tuve que cortar una ranura para que entrara el sujetador y que no se viera mal. Pero supongo que es por el tipo de casco pero si te tomas tu tiempo queda Exelente.Los controles sin facil de usar incluso con guantes gruesos...

El radio funciona excelente y permite conversar con otros pilotos sin interferencias a una distancia relativamente larga: unos 300 metros, aunque la publicidad dice que hasta 900 metros.Lo compré para reemplazar unos radios con un alcance mucho más corto y funcionan excelente!
