Shoei Sena SRL-03 Bluetooth Mesh Intercom System - Neotec 3 / J-Cruise 3 / GT Air 3

Once it was fitted it is great, easy to use but I found it very difficult to get all the wiring in and get the padded side back in properly would have been better if it was already fitted

Easy to fit & use. Does what it says on the tin

My second Shoei helmet and the best yet-previous was GT-Air full face. The staff in Leeds store were very helpful and (Amanda) made sure the fitting was correct plus she also fitted the comms and pinlock. I think the helmet is good value for money for the following reasons: good airflow with very little wind noise - the visor central lock down mechanism works well and can easily be operated with gloves on - the sun visor drops down further than my other Shoei and the switch is easily located with gloves on - Overall the helmet seems very well constructed and as a glasses wearer getting the correct type of helmet to fit was paramount.
The dedicated Shoei comlink works well with mesh to other riders and is easy to do with a push of a button. The comms unit paired with my iPhone to play music and the sound quality is excellent through the harman/kardon speakers. The batteries and charging point are located at the back of the helmet and can be charged with the helmet lying flat. The only problem I have yet encountered is connecting my BMW Sat Nav to the comms but am working on it.
SPORTSBIKESHOP gave me a 16.66% discount of the comms unit for buying them together and the fitting of the Helmet and Comms and Pilnlock evo were free. It's a worthwhile service to use as after trying on a few different helmets in store, including the Shuberth C5, I decide on the Neotec3 as the best flip up Modular Motorcycle helmet to buy.

Bought this with a Neotec 3. Previously had the GTAir with the Sena 10U integrated comms, which was OK. I was hoping for a massively improved product, but it's only marginally better overall, so far.
The good: Sound quality from the HK speakers is excellent and definitely improved. The mic location in a Neotec 3 is spot on, and the battery still showed 100% after riding connected for an hour, so that's a good sign. The fit, once you figure out its little foibles, is excellent and it's very simple to use.

The bad: The price. Even for a unit that has BT and Mesh it's rather spendy.

The ugly: The install. It's arguably better than using a non-integrated system, however it's not as straightforward as all the YouTube reviews make it seem. The wires from each 'side pod' get in the way of the cheek pads being reinstalled properly, and the only workaround is to carefully cut a tiny piece of one of the perforated plastic sections that tucks into the helmet away so that it fits around the wire. Also, the main problem I've found is that Sena STILL haven't figured out how to use audio multitasking without sacrificing the sound quality of the intercom!?! If you turn off multitasking and use HD audio the sound quality is excellent, but you then can't get sat nav turn by turn voice prompts. If you have multitasking on you can have both intercom and sat nav, and whilst the nav (and presumably any other audio input) sound quality is great the intercom turns grainy and is practically inaudible over 70mph? Hopefully the internet has answers…
I think Cardo is arguably a better sorted solution, but if you want integrated comms in a Neotec 3 then the SRL3, whilst being elegant and mostly functional, still has room for improvement.

I'm coming from a Senna 30K so I'll compare to that. Excellent internal fitting, easy to charge. Updates very easy unlike the 30K, the SRL 3 comes with a USB charge lead that's also a WiFi adaptor.

The speakers and microphone are excellent quality. Reviews have mentioned the voice control being a bit off, they seem to have fixed this in the latest firmware. It's worth reading the instructions as the voice commands have changed (at least from the 30k anyway). There are more commands and also said in a different way.

Awesome piece of kit. Works really well and integrates perfectly into my Shoei Neotec 3. Easy to use. Highly recommended this if you spend a lot of time riding.

Bought with my Gt air 3, fantastic combination and worth the investment, watch the YouTube videos to help with fitting once in it makes such a difference to have it specifically made for the helmet, so far battery life good sound quality excellent and really good on the intercom, as I said worth the bucks

Very satisfied with sound quality, music and calls. Microphone is brilliant. Plenty good features, working long enough battery ways. Fit perfect and easy.

Not actually ridden with this yet as I have failed to correctly reinstall the cheek pads. Recommend asking the dealer to fit as it's hard to get the cheek pads back in correctly so planning a trip to ask them to help me! Easy to connect and works ok though!

Service from SBS superb as always. I've always had shoei helmets and tried the neotec, but it was uncomfortable, so swapped for the gtair3. (I had a gtair 2 previously). Returns and reordering service fast and efficient
Helmet is good, fits well, comfortable. SRL sound quality is great, not tried it on road yet. Fitting it is fiddly and a bit disappointed there are no specific grooves for all the cables given it is designed for the gtair and neotec helmets. The battery and controls are incorporated into the helmet shell, which is great, but basically the cables are shoved in between the padding, lining and shell. It's ok when all done but surely this should be better on such premium products?

"Fenny" at the Boston shop installed this for me & really took the time to help me get the right helmet & intercom, assisted by Adam (?).
This intercom just works really well- not cheap, but worth it.

Connects to phone and very clear sound

These are our 3rd brand of intercoms and these are by far the best. Easy to use and great clarity of sound. Even on motorways.

Use this with the Shoei Neotec 3. Very good sound quality, bass is good, had to readjust equaliser settings a bit on Spotify as I wear ear plugs. Absolutely not tinny sound for music, don't know about talking with another rider as I don't use that feature. I understand Cardo have good sound reproduction, I wouldn't know about that for comparison, but this is good enough. Not too bad installing it in the Neotec 3 helmet, bought them both together on 0% finance for a bit of a saving. Thanks Klarna!
