Thanks! Very useful information that I was not finding in the User's Guide ie...the charging lights and blue light indicates "on". Just charging our new ones now. We are so tired of yelling and then yelling WHAT? Thanks again.
I'm going to ask a basic question. The $99 price is only for one unit, correct? If you plan on communicating with someone else you need to by two. Is that right?
Head phones have come a long way 🤷♂️ If you want to listen to podcasts or music just buy a good set of headphones and only use one with sound cancellation on your non traffic side. Perfect sound quality/ bass etc.. sounds incredible - I could possibly see using these this for talking to a riding buddy but don’t listen to music or pods with them 😅
Totally agree. The primary use case is for communication with a riding partner. While you can listen to music and podcasts, the quality is definitely exceeded by current model earbuds.
I bought a pair sena pi for my wife and myself. We tried them out at our house and was about 450ft away and the headsets broke up. How much range have you gotten on yours?
Our apps close with an error when you go to Smart Intercom Pairing, but we easily pair manually by holding down the "-" on both devices at the same time. I can't figure out how, if possible, to go from listening to music on my phone back to communication. Assume that's not possible unless maybe through the app (that we can't use)?
When we connect, they both have to be turned on and connected to our phones. Then I do a long press on the bottom button, and when I let go there's a beep and we're connected. My guess as far as music goes, if your turn the music off then repeat the long press it should connect?
Do you need to have Bluetooth thru your phone? Say in areas without any type cell phone even with you. Just bought one for me and one for my boyfriend, but always ride without phones.
Wanted to thank you and give update, we bought the sena pi and attached to helmets and we love them!! The only reason I finally decided to buy was based on your review!! And I am very happy. The only thing is we had to connect them behind the ear strap due to our glasses. Maybe might want to add that to your review. We weren't sure if they would have sound clarity behind ear, but wow! Yes they do!! Ricks bike even began to make some noise and I could hear it! No wind sound, and no disruption ever. Also to note, once set up, no phone needed. Left them in the truck! Thanks again!!
@@BrianRouse it definitely works better then front part of strap. We ride w arms of glasses on top helmet strap and can't do that when they are in front. Had accident awhile back and my glasses almost hit my eye, from that day I never wore them under straps. Lol now that think about this, I wonder if other people have figured that out. It is really dangerous to wear glasses under straps.
Thanks buddy i may have to consider the r2 then which supposedly have a longer talk time of more than 10 hrs. Thanks for putting up the informative video on the product.
There’s no real wind noise control. If you’re riding into a strong headwind it’s definitely more difficult to communicate. Under normal riding conditions conversations are very clear.
@@BrianRouse So are these not useful for e-bikes that typically ride at a constant 30-40 km/h? That speed is very common, so if the wind noise on the intercom is too great they're not useful 90% of the time.
@@BrianRousefinally got a chance to test out the pi’s on a ride today. My wife said it was cutting out a lot and I had to repeat my self a lot. Not sure if it was my mic or what but I could hear her ok most of the time.
