It’s MASSIVE in size, feels cheap, and falls grossy short of its claimed abilities
Bought the dual kit. First thing I noticed when installing it was how huge this thing is on the side of a helmet. Like, embarrassingly large. Paired to the phone no problem, streamed music...all good. BUT, that’s some pretty basic stuff which literally every headset does now so no big deal there. After that, I struggle to think of a single thing that worked well and reliably. Off the top of my head:
-The app is shockingly slow, making it almost unusable
-Voice commands are useless at highway speed
-The Mesh Intercom feature definitely works but has to be setup every time you turn the thing on, adds a weird digitalized sound to the persons voice versus Bluetooth Intercom, GOBBLES battery life (we can’t get more than 6 hours tops), and unfortunately was the main reason I purchased this model in the first place
-Trying to find the Mesh Intercom button with a gloved hand is like trying to find a Tic-Tac under your seat while driving.
- Etc. Etc. Etc.
Yesterday I rode with some of my buddies who have the mesh Cardo Pack talks and used one of their headsets. I’d say it took me about 2 miles to realize I made the wrong choice in the 30K. We turned them on, and we were talking. Just like that. Voice was clear, background noise was gone, music was where I wanted it to be, all was good.
Simply put, I’ve got no option but to send these back. I have zero interest in playing “beta-tester” for Sena while they try to figure these things out.
