Upgraded from SENA SMH-10R to 20s...OMG the difference is amazing!
Wife and I decided to update our Sena headsets for this riding season as we have a number of group rides where we want more than 2 way communication. I bought one pair of 20S headsets so far at a great deal and watching for a second pair.
Anyway, we took a nice Valentines ride yesterday since the weather was so nice and got to really use the new 20s headsets for the first time. The difference from the older 10R sets is amazing.
First they link up with phone and other headsets MUCH faster when turned on.
Next, the wind and road noise in the background coming over the intercom is GONE. Silent. Just the voice and so much easier to understand without needing to be nearly as loud.
Next, I used the multitasking mode with music from my phone while conversing with Louise. Was amazing how well it worked. I never had to press a button or anything. The music fades a bit and her voice comes through. Same when I speak. It just works.
Next, a feature our cars have had for ages but not in the helmet was noise level or speed sensitive volume adjust. IE when you stop at a light and the noise level drops, the music lowers to compensate. Very nice indeed.
Look forward to trying pairing with another brand head set this weekend but even if that does not work all that well, 4 of these in a group will be a far site better than where we were.
Just thought I would post some comments relating the change the new tech makes work. So easy to use.
