Looking for a good bluetooth communication solution for bike to bike contact or rider/pilion passenger comms. Suggestions for open face and full face helmets welcome. If you can include your opinion on pros and cons of what you suggest, that would also be great. Cheers

Have a look in "reviews" few on there.

Hi,

I have the Senna smh05 as all I wanted was basic bluetooth to phone and helmet to helmet. Works great, I use it with an open face helmet and most people can't tell i am on the bike when they call (and I have V & H straightshots!). Also, when my wife is pillion we leave the intercom open and can just chat as we go, very clear and easy to use. Pay a bit more if you want fm radio, I can listen to music from my phone if needed but rarely do. I think the smh10 has a few more features but the 05 works well for all i need it to do.

I've a set of Sena smh10's (3 years). Have had a great run with these. 4-way between riders worked a treat for those loooong distance days. The occasional pairing issues I've found are more operator error. Very clear coms, phone, but speakers could be beefed up a bit for music ( if thats whats most important to you). Software updatable via internet.

Sena Smh20, the latest & greatest

I wish it was a little smaller but once you use it, you will wonder how you survived without it

There are many reviews on the Sena products look them up & i am sure you will be happy

I have the Sena 20S and love it...

+1 for the Sena SMH5... can't fault it!

+1on uClear 200 series, works great and no boom for mic

just a thought   do you really want to hear a nagging pillion.

oneup has a point

I have Cardo Scala Riders, the wife had her Spyder in for a service today, had her as pillion on my bike from Bills in enfeild to ashford hospital for my doctors appointment, then to Marion westfield, back to Bills.
round trip 45Km
whine, whine, whine. the badlander seat pillion is thin and narrow. APPARENTLY it hurt her bum all day I hear this.

picked up her bike and rode home, 4.5 hours. I cant remember how many times I heard about how uncomfortable she is.

do you really want that?

Paul , why are we going this way ,,, Paul , Is this really the way ,, Paul i need a pee, Paul can we stop at the shop ,, Paul should'nt we have turned that way ,, Paul your speeding , Paul slow down that bump nearly through me off , Paul why are them cows lay down ,, Paul,, turn round we better go tell the farmer the cows have lay down ,, Paul,, i told you to turn round them cows might be hurt ,

Then its , WILL YOU SHUT THE FACK UP ... Thats followed by Paul , don't you sdare talke to me like that , followed by Paul,,, Go fack yourself , if you think you can talk to me like that you can't ,,

Day ruined , turn around head home , and its ,,,, Paul , donh't ever talk to me like that again , Paul i'm still not talking to you , Paul slow down , ,,, Followed by me saying ,, I thought you were not gonna talk to me ,, her , I'm not talking to you Me WELL SHUT THE FACK UP THEN ,

i USED to have a set don't know what they were , but the worst 500 dollars i've ever spent ,, I trod on them , smashed them and burnt them , But i did discover earplugs and for that i had the blue tooth to thank .

Thnx for the replies. For those who take their other halves as pillions, i'm a step ahead and never do that. My young son comes with me and i also want the comms when cruising with a mate. Thanks again.

By coincidence, Third Gear email came with this.... http://thirdgear.com.au/motorcycle-helmet-bluetooth-chat-kit/

Got no idea how it performs, but you can't argue about the price!!

Love the comentary Boxa. Yes, be careful what you wish for. I use the Nolan bluetooth, but it only fits Nolan helmets. Works great for phone and music while solo, was going to get one for the missus, but now not so sure!

We'll that's steered me away from getting a set.

Riding my bike with the cook on the back is the only piece and quiet I get.
