Review on 🚵 Sena M1 EVO Smart Mesh Communications Mountain Bike Helmets: Stay Connected on the Trails by Keith Morris

Take this pup out of the box and you'll feel the difference. Keep it casual, put it on your head for the first time and set everything up. The helmet feels fantastic. In addition, the rear light is a good "running light" that increases your visibility factor. However, I would not recommend a flashlight as the primary backlight device. The lack of turn signal integration also seems like a missed opportunity given the shape of the lights. However, the Bluetooth functionality works as promised if you're not tech savvy. You're going to get caught in a learning curve and your kid will likely tweak this thing for you. Read the instructions first. The keyboard shortcuts aren't very intuitive and, as some have pointed out, incorrect. You can download the Sena Utility app from Google Play or App Store, which comes with an unfinished app with updated user manuals in PDF format for your helmet. PLEASE NOTE: In order to update the firmware, you must connect the helmet to the computer. You need to download Device Manager which is only compatible with Windows PC. Sorry Apple users. It's really simple, but I've seen a lot of dissatisfaction with feedback on this topic. These helmets cannot be updated over the air. Headphones are great for phone calls, but for someone with tinnitus who's a bit of a sound engineer themselves, they're absolutely awful for listening to music and will definitely hurt. Your hearing with prolonged exposure. In that case, it's better to buy a $5 speaker from Ross or Marshalls. It's nice to be able to take calls and talk to people while driving without breaking my phone. I turned off Bluetooth audio playback and decided to continue using my JBL speaker. The lack of MIPS is a huge disappointment given the helmet's price. Sena has to keep up with the times if they want to remain competitive in the market. This helmet needs a revised model that takes into account overall usability and sound quality. Otherwise, it's a big upgrade over your run-of-the-mill $30 helmet. And for those who have a big head, a large model will do.
