Sena 20S Bluetooth Headset Review at RevZilla.com 

I really like how you keep the videos rolling at a fast pace. More info in less time= me sticking around :)

you know what would be nice to add to communication device reviews? A decibel meter reading. It would help buyers understand how loud the speakers are. You of course will need a control; a sound anyone can compare like sending a signal to the speakers and play the same on an phone to test loudness is it louder or quieter than the phone or something to that degree.

+Klaus Nettesheim Since coming out over a year ago, Sena has improved the latch mechanism for more security and has improved the user experience through firmware updates, so I'd take those early reviews with a grain of salt. -DrewZilla

What the hell did you say in the first 5 seconds???

Perhaps you should switch to decaf...

Great review! Really helped an old time biker - who is new to the helmet game.

My wife got me this for Christmas/Birthday. I've mounted it on my half helmet and it's great. I can not only hear my music, but everything around me. The ambient mode on this is great and it paired easily with my iPod and iPhone 6. Now I need to get another mounting set up for my HJC C17. Your video is what made me choose your store to have her purchase my head set

I just recently bought the 20s and I love it. The only complaint that I have is when I am listening to music on a comfortable level. When an incoming phone calls come in or I use my phones' voice feature it is turned all the way up. I have talked to Sena and was told that my phone audio was to loud. But I adjusted my phone volume and it did not make a difference.

I like the features the 20S has but when looking at the reviews on Amazon a full third of the reviews are 3 stars or less. Many of the complaints are about it being flimsy. Is this accurate or just naysayers being negative?

I love your reviews, and I also have become a Revzilla customer as of recent assistance from one of your guys on the phone. Suggestion, the guy that models your gear.... maybe smile? he kinda looks miserable like you are forcing him to do it :p

I bought the Sena 10C for the camera. It is stupid complicated, and doesn't let you see what you are filming.

If Billy Mays had a kid.. this guy would be it!

"Rider to rider up to 8 connections, we've never seen this done before". Yes, you have: The Scala Rider G9x. Also, you used to be all over the Cardo products a couple months ago ("2014 Motorcycle Bluetooth Communicator Buying Guide"). So, what happened?

Now from an end user's point of view. I bought 2 10S dual packs, both new. The documentation was in many languages, but not English. I got the devices to power on, and they receive static PERFECTLY. That's it. The web site was no help. I repeatedly tried to contact support. They are apparently unable to communicate in English. I tried emailing support. No response. I did reach them through social media. They referred me to their web site, and sent me documentation that has no bearing on the 10S. Supposedly, these come pre-paired. These did not. Even the radio won't turn on. These were purchased through different dealers on different dates. Among the items missing from the box are the adhesive pads and the wrench. The speakers will not stick to my helmets. Worse yet, the clips do not hold the units in place. Even when clipped into place, they fall out with a gentle shake of the helmet. This isn't just one. All 4 exhibit these issues. Wednesday will be 2 weeks I've been trying to get support from sena. I am forced to return these expensive paperweights.

Really looks like they can do a lot of this with a firmware update to the SMH10r....

I understood every word...funny DJ talk in the beginning...love it!

Your reviews are really helpful. I almost always watch reviews from you before I buy anything motorcycle related. One question though, do the speakers from this fit in the cutout for the new Aria Defiant Pro-Cruise? Thanks!

Can I share the GPS NAV voice directions from my phone with another rider?

I take it that this can be mounted on a half helmet too. Would be nice to see pics or a video of that for those of us that ride with half helmets

Dude, fantastic review as always, but PLEASE pronounce the brand name correctly!!! Sena doesn't have a hard E like eat and be. The E is soft like mend or trend.

So you want to tell me we keep SPACE out of the SPACESTATION with 2 rubber o rings and they cant keep water out by something that spins too

Jesus christ man...slow down a bit. Great coverage and all, but damn, lay off the mickeys before recording.

While this might be a neat gadget, it looks to be no better than texting while driving with all the features that riders will be messing with while riding.

I'm sure I missed this, but I'll ask anyway: if you pair rider to rider and you come out of range between the riders is there auto reconnect? Great review!!

How well can you hear from the speakers (music/nav) while wearing foam ear plugs?

Awesome-awesome @Drewzilla , what earbuds do you recommend and if I want to get helmet do you have any suggestions in the $200 and below price range? If not do you recommend any other helmet?

If you plug earbuds into the device, will it mute the ear-speakers? Im asking because im thinking of using a 3.5mm male-male cable to connect the sena to a gopro's mic input, so that all the communication between riders can be recorded directly into the gopro video too.

any sena model vs u-clear.. who the best? value for money long term batteries durable

So if I buy 2 of these I can pair one to the other and speak to another guy without using the phone? Did I understand right?

Is it difficult to raise/lower the antennae on your Sena 20S with gloves on? What about with Winter gloves on? Is the antennae flimsy when it’s up like it could break off?

how can i record audio from a drift hd camera using this device's mic?. Or i just need to use 2 microphones?, one for the bluetooth and one ext. mic for the drift?. Thanks.

So, if the speaker wires are also the FM antenna, what happens if you unplug the speakers because you only want to use the ear bud jack? I was planning to use upgraded speakers plugged into that jack.

So, if you use Apple Ear Pods, what is used as an antenna for the radio? Do you lose the radio stations since you have no antenna? Also wanted to know what the extra bracket with the 3M tape is for?

Are these supposed to replace chatterbox? But chatterbox you can talk to unlimited people with the walkie talkie feature right? It also has Bluetooth and you can stream your music and navigation, And this thing u can only chat with 8 people tops right? Just trying to collect information here Thank you

how to use internal speakers and external headset port together? I want to share song to the pillion.. and she doesn't own any Bluetooth devices

So what year and month was the 20S introduced. With this being the tail end of 2016, they might have a new model coming out with improvements that I might wait for.

I have an $800 Arai helmet that - before I installed my new Sena 20S - was comfortable to put on and comfortable to take off. Now, with the Sena 20S installed below my left ear, my helmet is NOT comfortable to take on and off.

I can't seem to find the answer I am looking for. Do you use the speakers with foam earbuds in, and the speakers are loud enough to hear in that situation? There's no way I am riding without earplugs in to seal out damaging wind noise. Thanks.

I want the S20 Bluetooth, and this will be my first helmet comm device; is this specific to certain helmets or will it fit any helmet including my "Skid Lid" half helmet?

Two things. First. I mainly want it for blue tooth music from my iPhone, battery life, and to make calls. Is the volume/clarity any better on this than the 10 series? Secondly, what is the difference between the 20S-01 and the 20S-02?

just wondering, do the speakers fit into the speaker cut-outs of the shoei gt air helmet? thanks and awesome review

Robert Smyth ask if the SENA SMH20S was compatible with the 2015 Harley-Davidson Touring models that have the Boom 6.5 or 4.3 audio system. His question is the same as my question. Do you have an answer? Thanks.

Would the recesses on the Shoei X11 / X12 be a bit snug for the included earbuds? I don't want them crammed up against my ears.

Does this Sena 20S supports/fit the Bell Mag9 or the DLX qualifier on their cut out mounts like the SMH10? thanks.

how would this install with a modular helmet that has the sun visor switch in the jaw line(like a Sedici Sistema) will the wired boom allow for mounting the main unit further back?

Which headset has the best sound for music. I'm looking for a new helmet and have been watching reviews on helmets and Bluetooths. I'm loving the Aria XD4 but the reviews on that helmet people bitch about the shield curve view isn't 100% clear.

Will this unit install on the Icon Airframe Pro? Specifically, the unit clamping to the neck roll and the speakers fitting in helmet ear pockets.

great review guy

Thank you for review :)

Ok this may sound like a silly question. But here it goes. I am looking for a good communicator for my husband and I and so far am sold on this delightful little goody. However here is my problem. I have an iphone where my husband still runs a non-smart phone device that looks like something from the dinosaur era. LOL. Ok maybe not quite that old, but needless to say it is not a smart phone. The small amount of research that I have done tells me that this won't be a problem as I can set up both devices from my phone, however what are your thoughts on this?

Just bought the 20s and I can hear music through my iPhone great, but I can't hear Siri or any phone call, ringing, talking etc... any tips on increasing call volume?

If I buy the dual pack..will they work as separate devices if a friend and I wanna split the price and ride together occasionally?

Can you pair the Sena 20S to the Harley Davidson Infrotainment System?

hi guys.. amazing review... but I got a question.. it's waterproof?

do the slim 20S speakers sound as good as the original ones

Maybe Skully helmets have all these features build in their helmets ;)

Can you connect a wireless headset to the Sena 20 S? I figured you might be able to use wireless headsets since both units are Bluetooth capable.

quick question, does it work with motocross helmet...doin some offroad and im bored to have to talk with my partner, or does it buzz cause of the wind ? thanks

Hi, Does the Sena 20s connect to the Bmw system 6 bluetooth helmet ? If yes, if they went out off range whilst on intercom, would they automatically connect when the 2 bikes came in range. thanks

How does the quality of the music sound with good quality ear buds?

is it possible to switch the audio to earbuds instead of helmet speakers?

I'm thinking about buying a sena 20s or new evo? What do you suggest? Please answers asp!

How do these compare to UCLEAR HBC200 HD with earbuds for us cruiser / half cap guys?

what you guys do with waterproof problem? cover it with some plastic bag or what? I live country witch rain many time in week :D.

i went in looking for a chatterbox x1slim because i lost mine and the guy there was all about this sena. all my friends have a chatterbox and he told me the sena will commincate with the x1's so i bought it. i keep reading otherwise online...was he or am i trippin?

just an FYI iPods now a days use blue tooth

So, me and 2 others can be on the same chat without having to switch anything around!?

Do I have to remove the included speakers in order for ear buds to work, or can i just plug and play?

Finally!

HI IAM VERY OLD SCHOOL. I FLY A PARAMOTOR AND USE A RADIO TO TO TALK TO OTHER PILOTS. IF I CHOOSE THIS WILL EVERYTHING BE FAR BETTER? CLEAR HEARING MESSAGES. ETC. AND WOULD THIS BE A UPGRADE TO WHAT I HAVE AT THE MOMENT.

I got the 20s slim and I don't like the speakers. I'm looking for some speakers that are louder and have more bass. Do yall offer anything like that or have any recommendations?

what would you recommend more? Sena 20s or the interphone sport model?

Hi Anthony, which one would fit snugly on the BELL ROGUE HELMET, The Sena SMH10 or Sena 20S? Please advice, much obliged.

What helmet is that (black) on this video with 20 S mounted?

Hey RevZilla! Will the sena 20S fits on the Nexx XT1?

What type of helmet is the black one on the table? Thanks

Does this headset allow you to plug in a different radio? Some of the guys I ride with just have a walkie-talkie using, my previous cheaper bluetooth headset allowed me to plug in one of these using a headphone jack to talk to them.

will this connect to other bluetooth products?

Are any of you using ear plugs (foam) with this? I'd like to save my ears (long-term) from wind noise, but want to listen to music (mostly) and maybe a call or so (brief though so I can focus on riding). The ear plugs I use don't block out the world, I can still hear plenty good, they just take the edge off of the wind noise. Or is everyone using these riding without ear protection?

Hi will this be compatible with the BMW 1200 RT AUDIO SYSTEM?

It was smaller than I expected.

can we put sena 20s on nolan helmet? let's say n86 or n64...

how about shipping to canada??will sena 20s will notify the calls if the phn in my pocket?

i have a shoei rf-1200 and it has a large sorta-exposed neck roll, will the sena mount be compatible??? any body have experience with this helmet and the sena??

so if im connected with other riders and i get a call come in, would the other riders hear my call? or does it automatically disconnect the bluetooth so i can have a private conversation?

Do you guys ship to Colombia (south america) for free?

Can this unit do group chat with other makes of bluetooth communicators?

Should I get the 10s or 20s

do you ship to australia? with this system?

Will these work with a windows phone?

Hi guys hiw yiu pair uo with go pro coz i wanna do some video blogging while i ride so can have a video on that? Thanks

Will this work with a Bell Bullitt?

Hello! Can this be paired with a Scala Rider G9 for example? Thanks!

Is it free Shipping for International Orders?

is it waterproof??

Can You Get IT in different langues

How much was it? 😊

Hi How do I upgrade the software? Does this device fit all helmets? Thanks

Free sample. Jk. Will it work with a vartian helmet ?

Do I have to have the phone app for it to work?
