Bluetooth headsets?

[KoroJ]

Love my 20S. I've paired with 10's and had no problems. Battery has lasted up to 10.5 hours constantly pumping music and GPS instructions to me and when the battery went flat I just plugged it in and carried on. No issues with the unit but I do need to memorise more of the manual to get even more out of it. I have used the phone app to play with some of the settings - pretty neat.

Same. Phone Ap is much better for setter up a group. I was getting around 13hrs on the TT2000 and I have power packs for recharging the GoPro, phone and Sena on the go for the likes of the NI1600, when we're on the road for 20'ish hours. I have the speakers fitted for listening to the radio around town, but when I'm on a ride I plug the audio-plugs into the unit and I get much better audio quality through them as well as the protection.

I have the 6 rider 1000m version.
Fantastic. 6 rider version has more buttons so harder to use than my old gen 1 version.

Audio quality is significantly improved.

Tbh the big let down is the clip, they updated it to a weaker design.
I cut the moving L part of mine off and siliconed the clamp to the side of my helmet. But I use mine every day. If you are only using yours occasionally it might be OK.
Riding to and from work I get 12-19 ( listening to music and with occasional calls) hours riding time between charges.

I haven't used as an intercom but people are always surprised I am even on the road let alone on a motorcycle when they call. Above 100 it can get a little hard to hear, above 120 audio is somewhat distorted.

I have a pair of these collecting dust in a drawer. Had to replace the headset cables a couple of times because they're so thin they'd break.
Under 80K they work ok. Over 80K they became almost useless. I like to protect my hearing so wear ear plugs, which made the unit almost useless.
In order to hear them, I couldn't use plugs which meant I had to put up with the wind noise of the helmet.

As has been said, they changed the design and ended up having to glue the connector back on a couple of times.
Was originally just going to glue velco to the helmet and the unit and completely do away with the clamp.
Used them on a group tour ride and was great in the twisties where the speed was a little lower but allowed us to keep each other informed of hazards etc.

Have upgraded to Sena S20's and now realise why these interphones are so much cheaper. You get what you pay for.
However, As a cheap option, you may find them ok. And I would suggest purchasing a cheaper pair to see if you would actually use them or if the novelty wears off.

If you have gen 1 or 2 sets the cables are significantly thicker on the new models. Also my old model cables had been fine for over 100000km.
The old speakers would have been absolute shit with plugs in. They git really tinny if too loud.
I hear the new ones are good with custom plug's but have the same problem with disposable ones. They certainly have a lot more bass.

Whats the Sena 5fm like?

Just a comment about something that happened a few weeks ago. I received a call while I was riding along (well... two (2) calls 0- cut the first one off, as I forgot how to answer it), and I found it hard to talk, probably because of the earplugs: couldn't hear my own voice. I'd had no problems on previous calls, but IIRC, I wasn't wearing plugs then. So, I've activated the "Side Tone" option now (and read up on answering procedures), so that it feeds back some of the mic to the headphones, so I don't end up shouting to whoever's on the other end.
Here's summat else: hygiene. I wear the same pair of plugs for three to five days, but I'm not real careful about handling them, and I've had sore ears a few times; inner ear only once (got medicated drops for that), but more usually, just a surficial pain, which doesn't last but is, well... a bit of a pain.

For what it's worth, Sena 20S on special with Radar Direct this month. Don't ask me any questions though, just bought one for $450 and have yet to experience the features.

I have the SMH5 which is the same as the 5FM but without FM radio. Does everything I need it to do perfectly.

5 is a cut down version of 10. Less range, less ability to pair to other devices etc. Can't have 4 way intercom like 10 (similar to 10 can't have 8 way intercom like the 20).

Yeah pretty much, except the "ability to pair" - it's functionally identical in that respect. So if you're using it individually or with just a pillion (like me) then it's just a cheaper version of a functionally identical device.

For us its rider to rider.

I used to get really sore ears using plugs. Even disposable ones. cracked and sometimes bleeding canal.
Only way to stop the pain was waxsol.
But then I started getting earache instead. That seems to be a carry over from years spent going swimming every day and scarring my drums.

I keep meaning to try custom plugs.

Custom plugs are the only way to go. I can sleep with mine in and wear for days on end. Also, can hear my 20S with them in no problems at all.

Yeah completly agree. Best thing I ever did getting the customs. Use the S20 everyday whie commuting with the plugs in. Music nice and clear, and can talk on the phone without any issues.
Also great when you program *555 on the speed dial.
