I know there are a bunch of threads on bluetooths but I have not seen one on the Sena 20s. Anyone out there have one?? If so your thoughts and pros and cons between the 10 and 20. Thanks

Found several reviews of the units out on the interwebz. Generally positive.

I've pretty much decided they are on my wish list.
If I'm lucky I may be able to pick up a set before the Franklin Rally.

I am with you there. I watched about 12 different reviews on all different ones. Thanks for the info though. Probably buy one too.

I rode my first season last year with the new Sena 20, I had the Scala G4 for a couple of years before. I love the Sena! It's a lot more user friendly than the G4. I have nothing bad to say about it at all. I have only about 20 rides with the headset but it has performed flawlessy. I'll be pairing it with my new Zumo this season so I'm looking forward to having the gps in my headset...........

It's on my wish list too.

Just a thought that may or may not help, for me there are not that many turns that I need it in my ear....some do...just gets to the point that the unit, what ever you are using seems over whelming...JMHO A better option might be the GPS to the phone then to the unit ???

On my wish list too !!! Wife and I love the Sena 10's. Can't wait to upgrade to the 20's

I have the 20S and love it. Bike to bike intercom is clear as a bell. FM radio works great. Listening to music or audiobooks from phone works great. I guess my only complaint would be the voice commands. That part of the system doesn't seem to work that well, but it may be that I don't understand how to use it. Overall, it is a great system, I use it everyday.

Been running an Autocom for maybe 20 years
Just wondering ???? how long do they go for until the battery goes flat??????
Can they be recharged from the bike on the run???
Is their a need to use the Buttons once going????
And can I plug my 3.5 jack in for my earphones ???:icon_cool:

I just bought a Sena 20s bluetooth headset, believing it would be a sensible replacement for the Sena SMH10 I have that is failing. Unfortunately, I am having problems pairing it with my Garmin Zumo 665. The 665 is more than just GPS; it is also an MP3-player, XM radio source and a phone-bridge. In order for all those features to work, the 665 has to be paired as the 1st phone, as only the first phone can handle both the HFP-protocol (for navigation and phone) and the A2DP-protocol for stereo music.

Try as I might, I cannot successfully pair the two. Sena and Garmin haven’t been much help. Has anyone else had a similar problem or a solution for this? :banghead:

If you have a Zumo 665, what Bluetooth headset are you using that does work properly?

I have a Sena SMH10 and a Sena SMH10R they both pair with my Garmin Zumo 665 and work very good :yes:

My husband and I had the smh10 units for about a year before the 20s came out. We're now on our THIRD SET of 20s intercom units. The brackets that snap the intercom on are VERY cheaply made. After connecting and disconnecting the intercom from it's bracket 15 times, something in the brackets break, and it will not lock anymore. This renders your intercom unusable. ALSO, there's a battery problem with *LOTS* of the units that render them useless in temps less than 40F. The units will just stop working. Battery freezes (I assume). What we've resorted to: we just never remove the senas from their brackets. This means if we park the bikes somewhere, and leave the helmets outside, anyone could come take the intercom. But they have a finite number of connections/disconnections before they fail. I've not seen them do anything to change the way the bracket mounts.

The extra connections that the 20s does are NICE, however if you want something reliable you don't have to ship back every few months, stick with the smh10.

Just my 2 cents.
