Sena 50S Motorcycle Jog Dial Communication Bluetooth Headset w/Sound by Harman Kardon Integrated Mesh Intercom System Premium Microphone & Speakers

Oh this thing is awesome. It is expensive, especially this model with the camera. I bought a new BMW that has the car like computer console, and wasn't sure if I had to buy the BMW version that is definitely a model series behind this. But it was fully compatible, include the magic twist control on the bike grips. It ties to my Google phone just fine, and I subscribe to Amazon Prime Music, so I listen to that on the road. That's really nice, the sound could be a little louder for me, but that's probably a safety thing. It's a high end sound quality. One amazing magic, is it does sound cancelling, meaning when I talk to people on the phone, they don't hear the bike at all or the wind, they don't even know I'm riding. Bonus points to their engineering for that voodoo. The camera is my luxury. The photos are pretty high resolution. I don't do video, the internet is full of people complaining of short battery life if you do that. So, I don't. :) I do put the camera in burst mode, so I touch the button, and it takes a series, then I just slowly move my head, because you can't carefully aim of course. This works well, and people can't tell you are taking pictures. I photograph cars, like license plates, all the time. I use it like a manual dash cam. It's simple reach up and touch the button when you are riding. Mainly though, I can use my phone by using the controls on the bike, the same with the music. I have no idea how to use it with the buttons. My son has this same one but without the camera, and he has a Harley, so no fancy computer screen. He figured it out, and said it's not too bad to do. We can talk when we ride. Oh yeah, forgot that. It has really good range, better then BlueTooth ones. The mesh thing that does that is a different frequency or something. And, it has a radio. When I don't like burning Amazon Music on cell phone time, or just out of range, I can cruise playing the radio.

Great sound and easy connection with other riders using Mesh technology

Coming from a Cardo freecom 4 plus, I was expecting this to be a little better all the way around considering it’s the flagship Sena priced about 200 dollars more for the Duo.. my expectations were blown away.. the Sena 50s HK version is light years ahead of the freecom in every aspect. The ability to take phone calls at pretty much any speed is a game changer. The freecom became hard to hear at about 55 mph and over 60 wasn’t an option as there was too much wind noise for people to hear me, as well as not enough enough volume without distortion for me to hear them. For reference I am on a BMW sport bike with almost no wind protection above my chest unless I’m tucked down wearing a high end modular helmet with the boom Mic. With the sena I can talk to friends and customers and they literally haven’t a clue that I’m on a motorcycle going 80mph. All I have to do is turn the volume up from ~40% to 60% and I can talk to about 100 mph. For bike to bike communication the mesh connection is light years ahead of Bluetooth, easily connecting to passengers, as well as other riders just by flipping the antennae and pressing the button, no app needed for meshing. The only slight disappointment I’ve had with it is that the battery does die fairly quickly when listening to music (which also sounds quite good) and it isn’t very progressive. Once it gets to 50% it fades about twice as fast till it dies. I assume that’s how most of these intercoms are so it is a minor complaint. Very happy with the product and can’t imagine the new Cardo can be any better, and the Cardo app is much worse then Sena In my experience

I’m only giving 5 stars because the seller isn’t the manufacturer here. But it would be 4 star product for me. Super difficult to install in the ls2 stream 2 helmet. My buddy has a scorpion helmet and he say he had to man handle it in too. It’s chill tho. I haven’t had it on while riding yet so can’t attest to the quality of sound, but you can’t expect perfection out of a speaker the size of an AirTag. Price was great from this seller too.

Great improvement of sound quality! however while in open mesh mode the background noise reduce the music level as the unit thinks someone is talking, which is not the case. At Low speed or standing still, everything works perfect. However once I pick up speed over 50 miles per hour; the wind, engine and outside noise overwhelm the microphone, the music shuts-down and will not come back until I'll slow-down or stop; basically until the outside noise level is just about gone. All settings directed by sena's tech-support applied and the unit simply can't differentiate between human voice and background noise. The only solution is to turn the mic off while keeping open mesh on. It is a shame as it is not as useful as it could have been.

Awesome audio, very clear, nice base

Todo ok

Sadly, I bought this together with a Sena Freewire to bring my 1800 Goldwing into the bluetooth world. What a mistake. I spend 2 days trying to get the thing work. It would work for a few moments and then stop, then pick up my phone's bluetooth and disconnect from the Goldwing system. The it would do nothing. Apparently, it simply isn't ready to pair jointly with both the Goldwing 5 pin connector and a phone. I suspect that its the 50S that was the problem, not the Freewire. But sadly they both have to work together. It's simply not ready for prime time. Then again, I despise companies that include a 1 or 2 page "Quick Connect" with the package and have you go to the internet for the manual (saves $2 I gather). And then the manual was confusing, contradictory, suggests it can do things that it cannot and was basically worthless. I wasted 2 days on this thing, viewed scores of online articles and YouTube videos only to discover that the technology is simply not capable of doing what it claims. Sadly, a number of other potential customers were there to help me try to troubleshoot this... they are no longer potential customers.

I thought Harman as I reviewed from other sources and sena that it's an excellent HD. my rating for it, is very good.

These headsets appear to work ok as an intercom only. But until I spend roughly another $1000, on a wireless headset interface module from Harley Davidson, these units will not pair with my 2023 Harley Ultra Limited. SENA would know this and this should be CLEARLY advised BEFORE purchase. Hence the 2 stars because until then, no music or navigation directions are available from my motorcycle. 👎

La calidad de sonido y la recepción de llamadas es increíble, buena conectividad con la moto aunque el emparejado a veces no es nada intuitivo. Como principal desventaja le pongo que son bastante voluminosos comparados con la competencia.
