For its weight in gold!

Bought to communicate with my 7 year old son while he rides off road bikes. It was difficult to talk about the mechanics of the body and the real-time methods of keeping it safe. To say we love her would be an understatement. From chatting when he needs gas to asking him to play a different song from his playlist while he's on a long run with his motocross coach, these ROCK! As you can imagine my son has survived several falls and SENA has built them strong and sturdy. Highly recommended!

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Nothing here

The price is too high, like everything else

Ok, the grid system works well and the battery is decent. That's all good I can say about it. Wi-Fi adapter is the dumbest thing in the world. I assembled the computer at the same time as connecting to wifi and updating my Sena. And speakers. My god, they are rubbish for music. and I mean it. Throw your phone in the trash can, close it, tip the trash can over and start dragging it whole while playing music at full power. That's what it sounds like. abominable. Update: Well, less than a yearโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Was damaged

Great product but 1 big flaw in the design

The product is well made. Bought several headphone cases for our half helmets and they work well. Although a design flaw. The main unit cannot be "uncoupled" and thus easily detached from the helmet. This is a solid wire design. So to remove it you have to dig up all the wires and 3 connectors, disconnect all the wires and carefully pull out the wires you hid in the helmet. This needs to be replaced with a plug that you can simply unplug from the device's main cable when you want to unplug itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • good item
Cons
  • is running

Shame on your SENA technology!

I am totally disappointed with this product that is considered SENA flagship for 2020 and surprised that we still see Bluetooth modules that are not interchangeable! I have 3 helmets and this model is useless. Both, like the older 30K model, let you buy a different mount and switch between unlimited helmets. I was misled by SENA promotional images showing the device without a connection cable which you cannot disable without removing the inner case. Helmet every time which is 100% inconvenientโ€ฆ

Pros
  • niche best
Cons
  • repair

Too many features make it difficult to use

This is a feature-rich communications suite that does what it says on the tin. My only caveat is that all of these features add to the complexity of the job. I'm an electrical engineer with experience in both amateur and commercial radio, so I'm generally comfortable with gadgets. The functions of this device are activated by complex sequences of holding and pressing buttons. I can hardly remember which key combinations lead to the desired result. I suppose I'll figure out which features Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Clarity

Mobile App 2/10, Hardware 8/10, Fun with Buddies 10/10

Patience. Once you've set up your headset, the 50R's features and sound quality make for a pretty comfortable ride. exclusively via the mobile app. (The Apple Store reviews are pretty accurate on this). I recommend downloading the desktop app. Using the mobile app and the included Wi-Fi adapter is not an intuitive process. I work with technology and tried watching online videos and app instructions first and the desktop app is MUCH easier. After downloading the desktop app, first plug in yourโ€ฆ

  • Solid workmanship

After 8 years with SMH5 this was a big upgrade

I've only owned Sena headsets before so I won't compare them to Cardo or similar. But this is my second Sena headset and I've owned the last one for many years so I'll compare them. My SMH5 was a workhorse. It rained several times in the United States, hail. I've never handled it very well, but only had to replace the internal battery once. I was very happy with it, but wanted to try "HD audio" and mesh as I had some friends with 30K and 50S headsets. After reading many articles I settled onโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
