SENA 30K Bluetooth Headset & Intercom - Single

I bought this after destroying my old Sena trying to replace the battery. Bluetooth is ok, but if there's more than three of you then you really want mesh so that it'll work what ever order you're riding in. Lots of people have got Sena so being able to easily communicate with them is a good thing.

Upgraded to these after owning a Sena 10S for 3 years - decided it was time to see the hype with this 'MESH' technology and wanted slightly better speakers.

Audio quality is fantastic, MESH is super simple to setup and again - great...So why 3 stars? Well after a 40 minute trip in light rain from Farnborough to Abingdon about 5 minutes from my destination the unit started going haywire (Activating/Disactivating all the modes, beeping, adjusting volume by itself) before finally shutting down. Tried to turn it back on a few times where it kept doing the same so left it until I got to my destination where I took it apart and found it soaked inside!

I know Sena don't claim it to be waterproof but coming from the 10S which I'd ridden in ALL conditions the 30K failing after some light rain has really made me worried about using it now.. I should say after taking it apart and letting it dry it SEEMS okay but I don't see me getting SENA in the future thanks to this...

Disappointed, apparently later models don't come with radio or voice control, the voice control, in my opinion was the most important part, now have to remove hands from control's to operate, Disappointed, should have got a cardo

I have been using the Sena Bluetooth for the past three years and the maximum riders we managed was three.
This Mesh one is by far superior and we have had five connected, more guys getting them this year.

Really good piece of equipment makes a difference when needing to communicate with a pillion on your bike or a mate on a bike to keep on top of comication. Can listen to music which is amazing and awnser phone calls. 10/10 for this bit of kit.

much better than my last SENA, great bit of kit

This is a much better sounding version than last years. Good bass and very clear when in the road. Simple to operate with gloves on and voice commands make this even easier. Good at connecting to mesh and other riders in your group and also will add blue tooth users to your mesh group.

I was a bit dubious about how the quality of sound would be but wow...they are fantastic and well worth every penny. Easy to fit and once you have the ear pieces in place, take a little adustment to get them in the perfect place they are fab.

Took the Sena 30k around Ireland with me a few weeks back and it did not disappoint. The sound quality is absolutely brilliant and at higher speeds, it's very well made and a absolute quality piece of kit to add to your riding gear. Very easy to use. I would definitely recommend the Sena 30k to anyone..it is well worth the investment..

Very good product.

I'm new to biking and have bought all my kit (and it's good stuff) from Sportsbikeshop - mainly online. I search the internet for everything I want to purchase and the SENA 30K seemed to be one of the best you could buy. It arrived the next day and I have found that it matched all of the good things I read about it in terms of sound quality and interoperability. As I have said - Ace!

Purchased this product for the ability to listen to music and Bluetooth.
After speaking to advisors at the sports bike shop they recommended this sena with the ability of also having mesh. Future proof.
I've used it 3 times so far and pleased with the sound quality and the ability to use.
Intercom is clear and the music volume will auto lower when talking via intercom.
Easy to install and not too bulky on the helmet.

With a name like Sena they're going to be an excellent bit of kit. Set up is easy and sound quality really good.

I was advised to go for this model by a riding buddy; he, and many of our group, use the same model.
It appears well built. It is quick to charge (although the LED charge indicators are tiny). It interacts well with the SENA app and I have found that once you have been through the pairing process with another rider the subsequent pairings are really quick and easy.
As yet I have no experience of using the mesh function-although that will change next month when a load of us head off to the Alps.
In summary, a good product that's well priced, works well and makes pairing to other riders stress free.

Cannot complain about the sound quality, but that's not a surprise at this price point. Music sounds good, voice communication is reasonable. However, noise cancellation is poor (just noticed that it's cleverly called Noise Control). So, at motorway speed, voice wasn't always clear.

But worst thing is the app - it's so ridiculously fiddly. Takes ages, after being connected to Bluetooth, to find the device. Options are interdependent, so turning on one turns off the other but not always in an obvious way.

Upgrading the firmware was a pain. My mate using the second piece is on Linux, and hasn't managed to upgrade yet (he tried with virtual box). Apparently I can buy a special docking station to do firmware updates - that's criminal - building and selling specialised hardware because you cannot write user friendly software.

Whether I keep it depends on being able to work entirely (at least mostly) without using the app. Will try that over next few days.
