    Cool Sena Bluetooth Headset

    I am thinking on ordering this headset. Anyone have it and do you like it? How well does it work with the bikes radio and do I need anything extra to connect to the radio?

    From my understanding it works great. However, depending on what type of helmet you have you may have to put an ear piece on your helmet. I have the 3/4 helmet and I have to add an earpiece on the side. It's a great price. Good luck.

    I would recommend the 20S model.
    A little more expensive but the improvements and controlling features from a smartphone I believe are worth the difference.

    This is the SMH-5 headsets. I had them as my first headsets and they worked really well. It's the basic setup with no bells and whistles.
    They also make the SMH-5 FM and each headset has a FM radio tuner. You can program 10 presets as I recall.

    The limitations of the SMH-5 is connecting with multiple headsets for group chat. You are limited to how many headsets you can pair with and how the group chat works (1 to 1 and you push the dial to switch to another person). If you do not need that this are good headsets.

    I have the Sena 20s and they are really good. The best feature in my opinion is the noise cancellation feature. I can ride and my wife can call and I don't even hear her!! (Kidding) The noise cancellation is awesome.

    Default Sena Bluetooth Headset

    I have 3 dual pack 20s top of the line Senas for sale [new in box] . See my add in sales by owner... part of spyderlovers forum. Pm me if interested. We always figured there was a problem when we did group rides, Sena said no it was us and the way we were trying to use them..i dont know but we decided to go a different direction after we got brand new replacements. If we can sell all of them I'll sell individual dual packs....work great with two or four riders, above that we seemed to have problems................................. safe riding!

    Default They are great

    Consider getting Bluetooth 4.0+ though, if you can find them reasonable. BT4.0 has several more great features (I don't recall atm).

    Thanks to everyone for their input. I have some thinking to do. The Sena 20S-01D is $450 so it's a big bite.

    Also, if you intend on connecting to the Spyder's radio, you'll need the Sena SM10 (also known as the Bluetooth Dongle) since the Spyder does not have Bluetooth build in.

    If you are using them on the same bike they should be fine but range will be short bike to bike. We had the SMH-10's and they worked well but the 20s is quite an upgrade. Call Motorcycle Dave (a sponsor here) for questions and great prices.http://www.motorcycledave.com/sena-headsets/

    I have a 10S in my modular helmet and my 3/4. They work great. I can listen to FM radio or the music in my smart phone. If the phone rings I answer and talk and if I want to make a call it's voice activated. I haven't synced to others yet, but it should work fine. If your buying don't forget to check with site sponsors.

    Deal with sponsors, pricing is always good as is pre and post sale service. Can't say Dave is the best, but after six major purchases from sponsors they are all top notch and you can't go wrong.

    +1 on the above. I have bought several things thru Dave,and the prices are always good and the after sale service is the best. Since you don't need another radio,I would buy one of the smh10's. You will also need the sm10 and wire set which Dave sells for less then BRP does for just the dongle. And has a video on how to install everything.

    I placed an order today with Motorcycle Dave, and I bought the Sena 10s Bluetooth communication System, and the sm10 dual-stream Bluetooth stereo transmitter.

    Dave was very helpful. I have a full face helmet, and I said I wanted this for the 10th Anniversary Homecoming event.

    You purchased the 10s, 20s, and SM10? That is a lot of stuff.

    I just want to listen to my phone thru helmet as I mostly ride alone - the 10s should hopefully be all I need.

    I have the 10S and it is great; There is a 20s, but it looked like the only difference was distance for group communications with riders on others bikes in a group. More money though,
