Sena30K-01 Motorcycle Bluetooth Headset/Mesh Communication System (Single)

Came 4 days early and is easy to use even with gloves on. Bluetooth Works great. Mounting was a little difficult but that’s because of the type of helmet I have. As soon as I got mine, all my buddy’s bought one as well lol.

I was skeptical of the value of communicating with fellow riders. However, I now regret not getting a com unit years ago. Communicating doesn't take away from the ride. Instead, you're able to share certain moments instantly with you're other riders which seems to just it a slight more value to it. So if you frequently group ride, then this product is worth it if you have the budget.Now regarding the Sena 30k itself. The build quality itself is solid. Speakers sound great although hearing certain people at higher speeds (around 80 mph) becomes difficult. This could also be due to other's mic placement and wind noise coming from both yours and your co-rider's helmets. There is a setting called aduio boost or something like that i need to try. From what I understand, it lowers your base quality but increases the max volume... This could be great if communicating is more important than music. Installing was a little tricky. I had to cut some the plastic parts of my liner to clamp to fit. It's a little annoying knowing that you have to alter your helmet. After installing though, it fits good and you can hardly notice any alteration to the helmet (note that my helmet did have speaker cutouts so installing that part is easy). The biggest flaw this com unit has is the learning how to use it. It maybe because none of us have had COM units before, but getting connected to each other wasn't a seamless task. Myself as a Mechanical Engineering major along with 3 others would consider ourselves pretty tech savey struggled to get a four way intercom going. We aren't coding apps and stuff, but we can learn electronic stuff pretty fast. I know there are many resources out there like videos, an app, and documentations showing differently connecting techniques. But for being a COM unit, you would think one of simplest things to do would be to connect to your other riders. So be prepared to spend and hour or two just studying how to connect, especially with more than one other rider. Overall though, great product.

Bought the dual kit. First thing I noticed when installing it was how huge this thing is on the side of a helmet. Like, embarrassingly large. Paired to the phone no problem, streamed music...all good. BUT, that’s some pretty basic stuff which literally every headset does now so no big deal there. After that, I struggle to think of a single thing that worked well and reliably. Off the top of my head:-The app is shockingly slow, making it almost unusable-Voice commands are useless at highway speed-The Mesh Intercom feature definitely works but has to be setup every time you turn the thing on, adds a weird digitalized sound to the persons voice versus Bluetooth Intercom, GOBBLES battery life (we can’t get more than 6 hours tops), and unfortunately was the main reason I purchased this model in the first place-Trying to find the Mesh Intercom button with a gloved hand is like trying to find a Tic-Tac under your seat while driving.- Etc. Etc. Etc.Yesterday I rode with some of my buddies who have the mesh Cardo Pack talks and used one of their headsets. I’d say it took me about 2 miles to realize I made the wrong choice in the 30K. We turned them on, and we were talking. Just like that. Voice was clear, background noise was gone, music was where I wanted it to be, all was good.Simply put, I’ve got no option but to send these back. I have zero interest in playing “beta-tester” for Sena while they try to figure these things out.

Now that I’ve had this for about a year, I’m blown away at how good it sounds, according to the people I call. One thing I haven’t figured out, is when you’re riding, supposedly you can talk to other riders on the road, but I’ve never been able to communicate with or even hear anyone else. I don’t know how this works, or even how to set it up. It’s not in the low quality directions that came with the unit.
