Sena 20S

Has anyone else purchased the new Sena 20S? It is insane. 10 FM presets, music sharing, phone/GPS/Intercom Bluetooths, antenna, etc. iPhone app for it to configure it and more.

20S - Sena

I don't see how you can hear it over the exhaust and engine decibels. I have to use earbuds to hear the music. Plus they double up as ear plugs when I'm not wanting music.

I use that feature on my Beemer around town. The music sharing I plan to use when the wife rides with me. Also cool it hooks to the phone and Motorad GPS.

To sync up with other intercoms, you just shake it, no buttons!

It has the option of external earphones and/or mic btw.

pretty pricey. i'll stick with my SMH10R for now until the next time to upgrade. the bike is loud and the wind noise is loud but for whatever reason, these sena devices work and they come thru loud and clear. currently i'm only using it for radar detector but i'll start to tie in my mobile phone with music. s/o rarely rides but when she does, we 2-way about half the time.

I got the Cobra iRADAR, mounted it under the headlight - it interfaces to an iPhone app. So I Bluetooth to the iPhone for calls/music, then the Cobra overrides those with an alert. It's not the best radar, but it helps

yes that would be much better to have both radar/phone all in one. but i really don't need a rd, i need a good laser jammer.

around here it's 80/20 laser/radar.

I bought a pair 3 weeks ago for a wsbk ride up the CA coast. Battery lasted more than 10 hours. For highway speeds I will use earplug headset next time, the speakers were not loud enough, but anything under 50-60mph is fine.

Worked flawlessly. Each rider listened to their own iPhone music, while still able to talk, with GPS intervening when needed. Noise cancelling worked great. Phone calls were clearer than from my car. And I was able to use Siri for calling and navigation. The setup and use is almost intuitive, which is good progress.

I still haven't figured out if both headset can listen to the same music source, but that may be that I still need to upgrade the second unit to the newest firmware. The only annoying thing is that prominent jogdial can get accidentally hit by other helmet and trigger a connect/disconnect. No big deal though, just hit it again.

Great product. Highly recommended!

Once both units are paired and powered on, disconnect from all units and begin playing music through the source unit only (press and hold jog dial for two seconds). Once music begins playing through the source unit, tap the jog dial on the source unit to connect and direct music to the paired unit.

I tried that, it will send the music to the second unit but remove it from the first. I am trying to get both units to listen to the music at the same time. Going to program a VCR now...

for a moment I thought I was on a cruiser forum

Does anyone know if the Sena 20s will connect with other brands such as Scala Rider for intercom? Thanks.

I bought an Akrapovic system.

Dynamic noise cancelling...... well f*cked if I can hear the wife anymore!!
