Shoei Sena SRL-Mesh Bluetooth Communication System - GT Air 2 / Neotec 2 / J-Cruise 2

Bought as I liked the integrated fit on the shoei gt air 2. The fitting was straight forward and very near, the actual use of it is far from. The control buttons are next to useless with even summer gloves on and the voice commands are very hit and miss Siri attempts to work while the Sena voice control makes up its own mind. As for linking to another unit by any means has still not been accomplished, it says it will link to non Sean products but nothing. I feel it is a case of substandard products sold with no come back, at £250 it should be of a better quality. On a up note the speakers sound very good

I've been using the Shoei Sena SRL-Mesh Bluetooth Communication System with my GT Air 2 helmet, and it's been a game changer. The integration is sleek, eliminating wind noise, and the sound quality is superb thanks to the Harman Kardon speakers. Setting it up was easy, though the initial updates were a bit fiddly. Mesh Intercom works great for group rides, and the Bluetooth 5.0 ensures solid connectivity. However, at higher speeds, the sound clarity drops, Siri doesn't always respond, and voice dictation struggles with external noise above 40 mph. The bass could be better, but overall, it's a fantastic system that enhances my riding experience​.

Easy and neat installation, the sound of music and telephone conversation via the phone are excellent. the voice command is a tad robotic. Battery life and subsequent charge time is fine.
The buttons are a bit fiddly when on the move.

Having purchased the SRL Mesh from Sportsbikeshop almost two years ago I had been experiencing frustrating problems with the unit intermittently failing to charge. It was sent back to them once during that time and returned but the problem persisted. Eventually, I went to the Boston HQ of Sportsbikeshop and spoke to the manager Sandie who was incredibly sympathetic to my frustration with this problem and without any fuss agreed to replace the SRLMesh with a new unit. Now I am a great fan of the Shoei Neotec 2 and having an integrated intercom which is streamlined and, when functioning properly, provides great connectivity, audio quality and intercom range is exactly what I needed, hence the initial purchase. Apart from the charging issue I have been completely satisfied with the intercom and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it despite the price. My bottom line here however is that I received great service from Sportsbikeshop when I needed help and for that I am really grateful!

Fits really Neatly, good sound quality, very difficult to justify the high cost, buttons a bit fiddly, voice control very poor, better if you fake an American accent. Not sure how Sena have sewn up the market I personally prefer Cardo.

Fitment within the helmet is great. I previously had the Sena smh10 and the only real reason for changing was the fact I fancied an integrated unit with an improved sound quality.
Coming with the Harmon Kardon speakers I was expecting a significant improvement but there really wasn't that much. The depth of sound is slightly better upto circa 50mph but no different above that. Also it's a shame you can't charge the unit whilst it's in use as I have a tour of Scotland coming up with some friends and I'm not sure if the battery will last a full day.
I haven't used the mesh system yet as friends haven't upgraded their systems.
Would I recommend the SRL? If you desperately want integrated comms then yes, but for the price and if you swap helmets frequently then I'd stick to the other Sena systems. If you've got more than one helmet the spare base unit plates make it easier to swap.

I bought the Sena SRL-Mesh as it fits discretely into my Shoei Neotec 2. I bought it as a link to my phone rather than an intercom.
Fitting
It was easy and straight forward to fit into the helmet. Videos on youtube are available if you struggle with the instructions.
Bluetooth
It was really easy to pair to my phone and provides good clear sound for both music and phone calls.

Worth paying the extra.

Great peace of kit. Staff were very helpful and polite, thank you again

Brought for my Shoei Neotec 2. Easy fit, very neat. Easy setup and firmware update. Great sound on music. Not used comms yet however I expect the will also be very good based on the SRL2 that I previously had installed.

Excellent service from Sportsbikeshop. The Sena set seems fairly easy to set up, it's just a bit fiddly to get the initial updates but fine after that. The sound is far better than my old (very good) Interphone. I like the way it is custom made to the helmet, it stops some wind noise.

Bought for integration with my Neotec 2 for GPS and music on the commute.
Sound quality is excellent, much more depth of sound than my Interphone unit. Fit is superb, you'd hardly know it's there.
Not tested the Mesh / Intercom with other riders yet which is why this review is limited. Question from me on how waterproof it is: I can't find any details.
So far so good though.

Very easy to fit into the shoei helmet, excellent sound quality but set up is not as easy as the instructions say. I still can't get my voice command to work but radio taking calls and gps all work perfectly with excellent sound quality. Only tried them at max of 50mph and haven't yet connected to another rider so can't comment on that yet.

Easy to connect with one touch to other mesh riders. Quality is good when in range but does drop out occasionally. Harmon Kardon speakers make music listening a real experience!
Unit was fitted by Sportsbikeshop so excellent customer service as always.

I have replaced my old helmet and so decided to fit a new intercom. The Sena gets good reviews so decided to go with it.
So easy to fit! So easy to set up as well. The app. makes all tasks uncomplicated and pairing a breeze.
Once paired the fist thing I noticed was the sound quality. Very good indeed.
I am extremely impressed with everything about the SENA Mesh.
