Sena50S Motorcycle Jog Dial Communication Bluetooth Headset w/Sound by Harman Kardon Integrated Mesh Intercom System Premium Microphone & Speakers

Oh this thing is awesome.It is expensive, especially this model with the camera.I bought a new BMW that has the car like computer console, and wasn't sure if I had to buy the BMW version that is definitely a model series behind this. But it was fully compatible, include the magic twist control on the bike grips.It ties to my Google phone just fine, and I subscribe to Amazon Prime Music, so I listen to that on the road. That's really nice, the sound could be a little louder for me, but that's probably a safety thing. It's a high end sound quality.One amazing magic, is it does sound cancelling, meaning when I talk to people on the phone, they don't hear the bike at all or the wind, they don't even know I'm riding. Bonus points to their engineering for that voodoo.The camera is my luxury. The photos are pretty high resolution. I don't do video, the internet is full of people complaining of short battery life if you do that. So, I don't. :)I do put the camera in burst mode, so I touch the button, and it takes a series, then I just slowly move my head, because you can't carefully aim of course. This works well, and people can't tell you are taking pictures. I photograph cars, like license plates, all the time. I use it like a manual dash cam. It's simple reach up and touch the button when you are riding.Mainly though, I can use my phone by using the controls on the bike, the same with the music. I have no idea how to use it with the buttons. My son has this same one but without the camera, and he has a Harley, so no fancy computer screen. He figured it out, and said it's not too bad to do. We can talk when we ride. Oh yeah, forgot that. It has really good range, better then BlueTooth ones. The mesh thing that does that is a different frequency or something.And, it has a radio. When I don't like burning Amazon Music on cell phone time, or just out of range, I can cruise playing the radio.

A riding buddy suggested that I get a Sena since he uses one. Once initially paired, when we meetup I press the large round button once and we're talking in seconds. Super easy! I have a loud exhaust so I wear earplugs for that and wind noise reduction and I can hear my friend loud and clear and he has no trouble hearing me. Our longest ride so far was 7 hours and the Sena was still working.I listen to music when I ride alone and use them for navigation directions. The earplugs do make the music a bit quieter than I would like sometimes, but navigation is loud enough and easy to understand. If turned to 100% volume, music gets a bit distorted. One level below maximum sounds fine though. It's better than I expected them to be with earplugs. If you don't need earplugs, these would get very loud.I like that this model automatically updates when plugged into the charger if paired with wifi.

Very easy to install. The sound is truly amazing. Works exactly as described. I would buy another one if and when needed.

I'm using this in a Schuberth S2 Sport helmet. I used the included stick-on mount to mount to the side of the helmet as the helmet has a wide lip at the bottom which precludes using the clamp-mounted installation approach.At first I installed the speakers in the existing indents in my helmet. I was quite disappointed with the low volume and poor sound quality -- that is when I realize that my hears do not line up with the existing speaker indents. To find the right spot, I put the helmet on and gently slid a cable tie up into the helmet until I could feel it on my ear. I carefully pulled the helmet off and used the cable tie tip as an indication of where to position the speakers. This made a HUGE difference. Instead of quiet muffled audio, I was now getting high quality, loud audio.The headset integrates well with my BMW 750gs and I can control things with the dial wheel on the bike.The Sena Android app is not very good; I was unable to configure the helmet using the Android app as it could never find the headset. In the end I used the USB cable with my computer to configure the helmet.Some of the controls are a bit un-intuitive. Activating the FM radio, for example, requires a long press on the jog dial. I tried recalling stations I had programmed using the windows app, but ended up just re-programming static into those slots.

The Sena 50s is the best motorcycle coms device around! It has great sound quality due to the Harmon Kardon speakers. You can even adjust the bass levels on the app. The voice quality for the coms and phone calls id very good up to about 50-55 mph when used in an enclosed helmet. Definitely worth the price tag! Has great battery life and you only have to charge it every few rides, depending on how long the rides are. It's easy to use with one hand while riding. I love the single dial for the volume and single button connect and disconnect.

I've owned Sena and Cardo Bluetooth intercoms since the Sena 20S came out in 2015. This is by far the longest-lasting and clearest intercom yet. The music sound is fantastic. The mesh setup and connection to others couldn't be easier. Even using the old Bluetooth setup with another Sena 20S and 20S Evos works well.This is a complete headset with a cradle., speakers, and mic.The only problem I had was trying to register this headset with Sena for warranty. For some reason, the vendor placed stickers over the serial number and model numbers. The number on their stickers would not register at the Sena site. I had to carefully remove them to register for the Sena 2-year warranty.
