    The Sena 20 has worked great for me. My buddy and I can talk at a pretty good distance. No wind noise. Would buy it again.

    We have the Sena 20s and like them very much. In the past we rode without the ability to communicate ... that is the "point and explain later method" didn't work well. With the 20s, we can talk when we want to, listen to our music individually.

    Being that I have a 2018 RTL with the BRP Connect - I also like it as a stand-alone with Genius Maps. Once I got Maps halfway figured out it isn't too bad - speed alerts, traffic cams, secondary road planning.

    If I had complaint with the Sena 20s it would be the lack of ability to set the priority of Bluetooth interupts .... the ability to say what app has priority. BRP Connect and Sena fight at times and all the user gets is an occasional beep.

    BUT overall - Sena 20s is great.

    Glad to here all of you are happy with your Sena headsets. I recently purchased a Sena 20S Evo dual pack and have had nothing but issues with them. Right now they are in the hands of the Sena warranty department and I am waiting for my replacements. Hopefully the replacements will be as good as you have all said.

    Default music

    Do you guys that use them hear good sound from them? Mine our horrible. Sounds like you are in a tin can, and I can't figure out how to get the intercom to work without having the bluetooth sirius app on too. I would rather listen to the music through the bike's speakers, much better sound. Maybe I'm doing something wrong??

    I think the sound is OK. It could be a bit louder.

    Sounds to me like you got some BLEMS or seconds on ebay that may be your trouble, also $350 is lower than dealer cost.
    try and return them for a set of number 1's

    30k does not have blue tooth overlay, 20s evo does. You can't talk to other bikers as listen to music ect. On 30k.
    30k has mesh but does not work properly, you can here your music but it cuts out and you can't adjust the sensativity.

    First I had heard of this. Thanks for posting. I had been considering purchasing a pair of the 30k units to give them a try. Sounds like they are a step backwards.

    FYI, the best 20 series version is the original 20S, not the evo. The evo battery life is MUCH shorter in use. We have one pair of them and they die at about 8hrs where the 20s, even at 3 yrs old and lots of use make 12hrs on a charge easy. Either one charges in less than 2 hours.

    Speaking of the 20s, I've been getting a "Last Chance" ad for Can-Am gear on Facebook the past few days, and decided to click through to see if anything was at a price that would indicate they really were trying to unload it.

    Didn't find that price, but did see they had both the 2-packs and single packs of the Sena 20s available, at $549.99 and $299.99 respectively. Not a great price -- I got mine at $330 from Cycle Gear when they were closing them out, and I think Motorcycle Dave had them for less when he still had stock, but if you agree with JC (and me) that the 20s is superior, you might want to check it out:

    Yes WHY, have you had trouble with the 30K units ?
    I have found usually it is operator error.

    My 20s is ok at best. 2 riders ok. 3 or more nothing but popcorn poping noise. Drives you insane. We tried everything to make them work. Sena replaced under warranty. Nada no better. We just deal with them until someone makes a better trouble free unit. Not holding my breath.

    I upgraded from the SENA 10 generation (SMH-10) to the 20s recently.
    I bought the 20s used from a member here.
    I really like the 20s. Much quicker connection of the intercom. Wind noise cancelation makes for a cleaner sound.
    I'm very happy with the units.
    I had considered upgrading to the 30s, but heard bad reports on the battery life.

    As always, my free advice comes with a double your money back guarantee.
    If it ain't broke, don't break it.

    We have used the SMH-10's for at least 5 years now...We live in Florida, so they get regular use. Super good battery life and sound. Switched from the speakers in helmet to the ear bud headset. Much better with ear buds. I never miss a word my wife says (even though I would like to sometimes!) No issues with these units, so not replacing until they wear out. Good product, not so sure about the newer stuff...
