Schuberth SC2 Bluetooth Communication System

Well made and easy to install. The instructions from the Schuberth website is much easier to read.

It could be louder when using earplugs.

Importantly this is with iPhone 12 mini on iOS 18.0.1, and specifically for 2021 BMW F850GSA with TFT on original firmware.
Yes, it does allow volume control with the Wunderwheel!!! Yes it works well with Siri. Firmware updater is dated but functional. App is decent. Physical installation is easy.
But the Bluetooth connections were difficult. I believe it's because I wanted to run this system with the BMW connected app.
I got it to work right eventually but if I had to do it again then…
1. Connect Sc2 to mobile phone using SECOND mobile phone pairing. Do your sc2 setup in the app like setting bass to maximum. Then delete this Bluetooth connection entirely. Only re-pair Sc2 to mobile phone again if you've got settings to change. Otherwise keep this un-paired.
2. Go to the bike tft and pair bike to phone like normal, and pair bike to rider helmet using the FIRST mobile phone pairing on sc2. Yes this is counterintuitive but you have think of the tft as the mobile phone now.
3. Can the sc2 handle having connection to tft and having connection to mobile phone in second pairing at the same time…yes… but it turns your system into a raging schizophrenic and some or all functionality is lost as connections fight to assert who's boss!

Ultimately, end result is almost brilliant having tested with music and phone calls. I am glad I have upgraded to this system.

Untested so far with intercom and mesh, not enough mates nearby to ride with.

Bought with the C5 lid, this was childsplay to fir and setup, no need to start removing linings or routing wires. So far the sound quality and VOX operation have been great. Does way more than I need, but good to have.

Very easy to install and to use. The only issue I have is that it is on the quite side but the extra features make up for that

Just brilliant, let's you listen to your music or podcasts in crystal clear definition, or chat away to your mates like they are stood next to you.
Love it, transforms trips with partners or friends into a much more sociable event.
Can warn ride partners of dangers or comment on the sudden amazing vista. Or chuckle at them when make an error.

I bought the SC2 system along with the C5 helmet as I didn't want to faff about installing my Cardo system into the helmet.
The SC2 literally takes about 1 minute to install.
The app installs as usual but finding the correct software to download for updates to your computer/laptop is a bit of a nightmare. There's no direct link so you have to searching for it.
I haven't tried out all of the mesh features on the system but my first impressions are that it is a lot quieter than my Cardo system. I have to have everything maxed out volume-wise. I do wear earplugs which clearly make a difference but my Cardo system was never over 75%.
I like to choose the volume rather than have to put up with what I'm given.
The system is a bit fiddly. You have to turn on and off the base unit and control unit separately. Bit of a faff but that's the way it is. I found the buttons very difficult to use while wearing gloves and had to stop to make some adjustments.
It's a lot of money for an average comms system. I'm sure the if you use the system to its full potential you'll get more out of it.
If not, just transfer your existing equipment.

Very happy so far with this. Easy to install on my C5 helmet & connected to my phone instantly. It was trickier to link to my BMW F750 bike and app. All sorted, now and only been on a couple of rides with it. So I'm playing with various volume levels to suit my riding speed/style. Not used the intercom or Mesh yet.

It's a very neat installation as you'd expect being a dedicated unit and integrates well with a Schuberth lid that's also a quality item. The 2 together really do look like a well thought out setup and on a helmet that's mainly matt grey, almost invisible, but in a good way.

It has decent sound, but a bit quiet through earplugs, although nothing unexpected there! The microphone boom sits too close to my chin, so I'm working up an alternative there as I don't really use the mic much anyway. This is for satnav directions and music from the phone.

To keep things simple I have only paired to my phone. I'm sure it does clever things on a BMW, but not in my use-case.

The remote is powered by an internal coin type cell and needs to be powered off independently of the main unit, so 2 things to power on and off each time. Only the main is rechargeable (USB-C). A bit of a faff TBH and either are too easily turned on accidentally when carrying the lid around, leading to flat batteries. A quick tap of the lightweight control buttons will do it.

Overall, it's a very neat set-up, but if the lid wasn't pre-wired, I wouldn't have bothered with this one and certainly not at full price. I got this on offer and with the lid, so an additional 16% off that just tipped it into the worthwhile bracket.

An excellent communication system, Works very well with other riders in the group using the same SC2 system.

It promised to be the best but unfortunately it has turned out to be the worst coms system I've ever bought. It just won't accept voice commands unless you repeatedly say them over and over again. Even then I can't get it to work. Not very happy at the moment.

Very easy to fit and is very easy to use as a music system. Not used it as a comms system as yet. The app seems easy to use. sound is decent too . My only issue is the price. For a system where the speakers were already in built to the helmet I thought it was quite a bit to pay.

The best way to communicate with my husband when on the trip on the motorcycle

I bought this to go with the Schuberth helmet I had to get to replace my Sena helmet.

What I loved about the Sena was the integrated Harmon Kardon sound and Mesh Coms.

As Sena helmets are hard to buy now I am really pleased to be able to add the same sound and coms as I had before but in a more comfortable helmet.

I really cannot fault the way this fits the helmet, the build quality and the sheer value for money it is when it comes to the tech involved.

The sound is great and comes with an app to control aspects of it and the coms.

The Siri integration is even better than before and will only get better with time.

It is worth spending the extra money to have coms that is built into your helmet. Just click the two pieces into place, charge it up and you are ready to ride with bass and clarity. It's so much better than the other coms systems.

Positives - Great neat fit. Clear Sound, works fine with Bluetooth.

Bad Points - First unit returned as Mesh did not work with other Sena units inc Interphone Ucom16. When using MESH i can hear friends but they cannot hear me. Unit returned, tested and confirmed faulty.
Replacement sent. This worked correctly once, then same issue has just re appeared again.
Unit sent back again and refund requested.
Real shame as it is a very neat looking unit.

Since buying the helmet I've struggled with the system and find having the control and remote as separate units over complicates it.
My wife's helmet has a built in system in a schuberth c3 pro and we cannot get them to pair so its use is 90% useless.
Recently the unit just failed to turn on and had to be returned for repair.
Very disappointing experience
