Sena 10R-01D 10R Low Profile Motorcycle Bluetooth Communication System, Black, Set of 2

Installation was straightforward. Instructions were clear. My helmet was “Bluetooth ready” and has recesses for the speakers.I ended up using the thickest spacers behind the speakers. Everything fit in the helmet well. I put the control unit on the left side and the battery on the back. I installed the mic just to the left of center on the mouth guard of my full-face helmet.The unit has a lot of functions and features so learning the button presses and combinations can take some time.I made a phone call while on the road. At 70 mph, the party on the other end could hear some wind noise but my voice overpowered the noise. On my end, wind noise made him barely legible. When I turned up the volume, his voice became distorted. I can’t really blame this on the 10r. Wind noise will overpower anything.I was unable to test the intercom because my wife’s helmet is an older one and wasn’t Bluetooth ready.For music, anything over 60 mph was almost unusable. I tried both the built-in FM and music from my phone and the results were similar. Wind noise overpowered the music.All in all, the unit has a ton of built-in features and functions. It’s well made, easy installation and low-profile and unobtrusive. In that respect I give it 5 stars. I’m giving it 4 stars because of the audio; features and functions are useless if you can’t hear anything.==========================Update:I purchased a new helmet for my wife and got the unit installed so I was able to test the intercom. A couple things I really like about this unit:1) It powers on quickly.2) It connects to my phone almost instantaneously. Very little delay.3) If it’s paired with another unit, it won’t say anything when you turn it on unless is’t UNABLE to connect to the the other unit. Otherwise, it’s automatically connected.In music sharing mode, going between music and intercom is painless. A single tap to the middle button goes to intercom. Then a long press of the middle button starts the music sharing. (You have to have a music app with a playlist cued up). From there, a single tap of either middle button puts it in intercom mode. When finished, a single tap of either middle button puts it back in music mode.After a day of using it, we got home and I decided to do some troubleshooting because others have reported how loud it was. That just wasn’t my experience. What I found was, the recesses in my helmet for the speakers did not line up with my ears! I had to move the speakers about 3/8″ forward and slightly down. It made a world of difference in the volume! I haven’t checked it out on the road yet but I’m guessing it’ll make a difference having the speakers directly over my ears. I’m sure I’ll still have wind noise but having the speakers right over my ears should be quite an improvement.Pros: Extremely capable; tons of features.Relatively easy to installHands off for basic operation. Turn it on and use it.Quick power-on and pairingRelatively unobtrusive.Cons: Speakers distort at higher volumes. Have to turn the bass way down.Some features/functions can be confusing

I researched for months before selecting these Sena 10R-01D low profile Bluetooth and haven’t been disappointed. They work great in our Scorpion helmets and my wife and I can now listen to music or talk while we cruise.

It is very easy to use, great to communicate with others and discrete
