Suitable for conversation, not so much for other purposes

We attach them to our bike helmets and they're great for communicating while riding. Range and battery life are as promised, and it's easy to install and pair with our phones. I've been told they can be useful for music or podcasts as well, but it doesn't seem to perform very well in terms of audio quality. That's good for voice, but you can't expect a small speaker to overcome wind noise effectively enough to produce quality music sound. We wanted them to primarily serve as a two-way talk…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not sure

Easy to install and completely worry-free

If you're not interested in new helmets but want to communicate while riding, this is amazing! Taking them on a 15 mile ride on both the bike path and the main road with the bike path, they worked fantastic when ambient noise was low in a colloquial tone. Don't try to have a conversation at high speeds or in noisy environments, but it's still great for sharing directions or warnings. It gave me amazing peace of mind during our trip as we are constantly in touch! Setup is easy with the Sena app,

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • A little wrinkled

Great way to communicate easily! Excellent value for money and quality!

My family love to use these headsets for Sena Pi Intercom. My husband and I and my sisters can now easily communicate while cycling. The trick is to place them correctly over the helmet straps so that the headset's soft windshield faces your face and not the other way around. Also, keeping them in sync can be a bit difficult, but with practice we got better at it and now we don't have a problem. The communication is great and the battery always lasts for the whole bike tour. We leave our…

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Works very well once it works

I think my only complaint about these devices would be the missing two lines in the quick setup guide for the steps required for users without a smartphone who just want to use it as an intercom. After an hour and a half of unsuccessfully playing with their app, I finally downloaded the user manual (not included). At the end of this document were lines for pairing devices together. To save the next person, here's the magic. Turn on the devices (both + and - buttons together hold the - button…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

INCREASED DRIVING PLEASURE

We are so glad we have them. They have completely changed our cycling experience for the better. SO GOOD to talk to each other like we're sitting next to each other. Our voices are clear and easy to hear. They talk to you while you choose options. tell you which function you have selected. The volume control works too. Loud enough. We don't use them for radio or music. Therefore, I cannot comment on these features. I wish they were cheaper. I wish they could connect to more than two heads. I…

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • Not everything fits

1 Works great, 1 doesn't hold a charge

We bought 2 to make a working intercom (only one unit in the box). One of these units worked exactly as expected, but the other doesn't last more than 48 hours on a charge. If both work as intended I would give the units 4 stars (instead of 5 as I think the price of the item is high). I am contacting SENA Customer Service for a warranty return. When the devices work +ve- Excellent intercom that works great at a reasonable distance - we had connection on the open road in a straight line for…

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Works perfectly! Good for sports

Ok I would give 5 stars but it's not waterproof or sustainable. That I ride A LOT in the rain because I live in Oregon and there's no shortage of rain in PNW. I was so excited to see that Sena released a headset that made it easy for me to switch from helmet to helmet. and is fairly easy to install. but if you go out in the rain, be careful. It dried out and turned on and was usable after about 10 minutes of starting the ride, but it just turned off and wouldn't turn back on when the rain…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Great for voice communication while cycling

My wife and I love riding our e-bikes, but it's always been difficult to communicate - we can't usually ride side by side. I ordered a pair of these with fingers crossed. Setup was pretty easy. It's amazing that we can talk to each other while driving! "A truck is coming from behind", "Look at the deer on the left", "The dog is in front on the right", "Isn't that the old Johnson house?" etc. Although we hear the noise of the wind, it was not enough to interfere with communications. In fact, my…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Low maintenance
