SENA SMH5 Basic Bluetooth Headset & Intercom

This is my first intercom, used to use wireless headphones. This is far better, can still wear earplugs and hear music etc very clearly.
Was so easy to fit. Works well with my Honda Roadsync App, so now |I have clear music, Navigation, Calls and Texts (reads). Great bit of kit.

Easy to fit, brilliant speakers, great little mic (full face variant) and the controls are easy to use with gloved hands. Fantastic product offered at a discount price and they gave me extra discount for buying a helmet with it! Outstanding shop!

Often struggle to catch what is being said. The mic seems to cut out and the audio is a little quiet when using the mic however it's perfectly decent when out solo just using it for radio/Spotify.
Easy to use, quick to connect recommend as a starting point on a budget

Great value for the price; does well in the rain

I am going with 2 stars as I expected a little better. Just for the concept, I have the newest Scorpion EXO-1400 Evo 2 helmet which is classified as one of the quietest. However, everything higher than 40 to 50 mph and I barely hear the person I am talking to. I tested that a few times, unfortunately, again, faster speed and I can hear anything. If you go on a high way and you reach 70mph that means you won't hear the GPS on your phone, nor if you try to talk with someone. Additionally, for whatever reason I never could ever hear the GPS with SENA, with my earbuds - yes. I bought 2, the 2nd box is unopened and I am planning to return it. Disappointed.

Great headset. Excellent value fir money.

Does the job fairly well, would and have already recommended. For the price paid through sportsbikeshop I have no complaints perfect starter kit. Thank you.

Easy to install and set up. Great quality sound, easy functions, fab battery life. After a day of Google maps talking to me I still had high battery at the end of my ride, very impressed. Great value for money.

After intercom woes with the first set, customer services sent a replacement. The grandchildren enjoyed playing with the intercom and it works great for phonecalls and satnav. We've used the intercom today for the morning shop in Lake Garda on the Vespa. Synced fine going but not coming back. Hopefully better on our next trip out to Salo. Great service and price from Sportsbikeshop.

Really couldn't be happier with the performance and price of this kit. Just need to remember the gestures but then you're off! The range on the intercom is impressive and everything works really well.

This is my third SENA SMH5, first was ok until about 18 months, then wouldn't take a charge. It was replaced and so far the second is working well. Beware that you should hold onto the packaging, because if you need to make a warranty claim, the whole lot will need to go back - SENA's rules apparently, which makes it a bit of a pain having to remove everything from your helmet and then re-install the lot when you get a replacement. That's my first gripe, the second which is probably more irritating because it's something that is always there is the charging port, which is probably the most difficult charging port to get your USB cable into, if you like to leave everything on your helmet. Sometimes the cable will engage straight away, but mostly you will struggle to plug in the cable to the unit, this really is a pain and needs to be addressed by SENA. In use the SMH5 works well enough at up to road legal speeds, but if you are going above 75mph (on a track, obviously) you won't have great comms. Being a basic unit, once it is paired, in use it is simplicity itself and the sound is good enough. I bought my third unit simply to have as a spare on another helmet, and at the SMH5's price point, I think it is probably the best available. Making a warranty claim is easy with Sportsbikeshop, so I've got to recommend buying this unit, but only from Sportsbikeshop, as others in my experience have not been as helpful, and remember this has a 2 year warranty, which is a bonus!

So I bought this for the girlfriend (pillion) as I couldn't justify getting a 20s evo system like mine for her (yes apparently I'm cheap).
Fitting was a simple stick on bracket and feeding the speakers into the helmets a breeze.
While the instructions are a bit basic and I had to refer to mine as well, pairing the two intercoms is very easy (takes about 5 seconds). While we got this unit so she can talk/scream at me from the back seat it looks ideal for when she gets her own bike as it will connect with her phone and SatNav- enough for what most need.
So looking back I think I could have saved a couple of quid by getting myself one of these instead.
The build quality is as Sena normal- excellent!
Audio is also brilliant with crystal clear directions coming from the back seat without the need to shout.
Very impressed!

Bought the duel pack, fitted to both mine and my wife's helmets. Intercom comes supplied with two different types of microphone for full face and open of flip up helmets which is great as we have both. Intercom was pretty easy to fit and simple to connect to phone and each other. Clarity of sound is very good for Intercom and Bluetooth connection to phone for sat nav or music. The only negative is the universal connection to other Intercoms is pretty much none existent. Sena get this sorted please. But great product at a really good price for two units, very pleased with purchase

First one a speaker didn't work but when It was swiftly replaced the item worked well and was easy to set up all round solid bit of kit

Well after reading quite a few reviews, trying on my mates and his wife's on, we thought what's not to like here. Sportsbikeshop had it to us the very next day!
Great for music, phone calls, and listening to your other half scream when you give the bike some beans. Only bad point, high speeds, it simply does not work, but that's a good thing. But for the small amount of money it costs, it's well worth it.
