Agreed. What hell is that weird look over the shoulder at every intro with a snap looking forward, like he's throwing words at the camera. Makes me cringe every single time.
Just bought this and its an outstanding product, the sound is fantastic even for music, fitted perfectly in my Arai Rebel helmet, i even sprayed the (now grey) helmet controler matt black to match my Rebel Base White Helmet, however i strongly recommend buying it with the remote control for the handlebar as without it the functionality is greatly reduced, as always another great review from Anthony ( RevZilla )
all i would like from them is a dedicated siri button. By siri button i'm talking about google and cortana type stuff. because i hate holding the center buttong for 2 seconds everytime i want to acess siri when i'm riding. and especially when siri messes up understanding what i'm saying, i have to hold the button again for 2 seconds to turn it on. it's very distracting. if they had a siri button i would love to get this.....i had the smh 10r but returned it because of that.
Now put it on a helmet that isn’t shaped like a bowling ball. I have one of these. I like it but the external battery pack is a turn off. When you have a more aerodynamic helmet, it’s almost impossible to find somewhere to mount that battery.
I'm sure other people have stated however, video is incorrect stating the 10r has Bluetooth 4.0. The 10r in fact only has Bluetooth 3.0 stated straight on the box and Sena's website.
Are you thinking of the previous-generation SMH10R? That model was indeed 3.0. The new 10R (sans SMH) is Bluetooth 4.1 according to Sena's website. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-smh10r-bluetooth-headset *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-10r-low-profile-motorcycle-bluetooth-headset
Just wish the speakers were better :-( functionality of the unit and remote is great, no complaints. The speakers are poor imo. No point listening to music as you have absolutely 0 bass. Definitely designed for the vocals, but even during calls they were not that clear and became distorted at high volume. By bike isn't overly loud but can't take a call unless below 50mph
if you want bass then figure out how to add a sub to your bike or buy a cruiser. I haven't have any issues with call quality on 100 + and its very rare that i take calls while on the bike once in a blue moon. Your on a bike unplug and enjoy if you need to make calls then downgrade to your car.
Do the speakers fit in a Shoei Neotec? In your 10U review you said that the speakers included with the 10U were the SMH10R speakers not the 20S speakers (that are included in this 10R) as they 20S speakers didn't fit. Can I make them fit my enlarging the ear cavity on my helmet?
These speakers actually do fit when using Sena's included Velcro spacers. This also brings the speakers a bit closer to the ears, which provides better sound. You shouldn't need to mess with the cavity. -DrewZilla
Does this come with the option to use earbuds like the SMH10R? I have an Airamada and no speaker pockets so I was looking at either this or the 20s since I know that one can take earbuds.
+Justin Reynolds Since this new 10R has separate connectors for the left and right speakers, it will not work with the SMH10R Earbud Adapter. Therefore, you may want to consider the 20S or the SMH10R with adapter. -DrewZilla
I also have an Airmada. Been using a SMH10R (the older version of this) for a while now with no problems. There are, in fact, shallow recesses where you can put the speakers, just don't use the foam shims behind the speakers.
Thanks for that never noticed that on my Airmada. Also they did now come out with an adapter to use earbuds if needed but I am still thinking of the 20s for the increased range.
@Drewzilla , have you had any success installing this or any other communicator device into a Bell Race Star helmet? The Race Star has no speakers cavity within it. If I buy the optional Senna slim speaker accessory would it work? Also, how thick is the slim speaker?
Yes, you can actually install a 20S or 30K on the Race Star, and the Sena slim speakers are only 7mm thick. For most people, there is enough space for the slim speakers. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-30k-20s-evo-slim-speakers
Will this fit in the new Shark Spartan helmet? Will the battery have to sit on the outside of the helmet or can it sit inside the shell of the back of the helmet?
Yes, it fits the Spartan, and yes, the battery fits the internal compartment originally intended for the Sharktooth battery. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-10r-low-profile-motorcycle-bluetooth-headset
I have the smh 10r. got it a few months ago. my only concern is that i can't wear ear plugs with it at any speed, even standing still i can barely here music. Can i get the 20s speakers for the smh 10r, will it work or are they only for the new 10r? and will it make any difference if so.
+MrPaintballGuy91 To start, no, you cannot use the 20S speakers with the SMH10R, nor can you use the 10R speakers. I recommend getting the SMH10R earbud adapter and using low-profile molded in-ear headphones or just larger speakers. If you haven't done so already, you can also try getting the stock speakers closer to your ears (using the included Velcro speaker spacers). -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-smh10r-earbud-adapter-cable *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/motocomm-thumper-2-helmet-speakers
+CraftingFFA They have a decent amount of bass, but you may be more satisfied with a really good pair of molded earbuds if the earbuds can block out wind noise. If you still want the Bluetooth and intercom features, you can use the following earbud adapter with the 10R. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-10r-earbud-adapter-split-cable
If I have two helmets with the same unit (my passenger and myself) would she be able to hear the music from my phone in her helmet as well? Or would she be need to connect to her own phone and listen to her own music?
Both. If you enable music sharing on your Sena 10R, then you could share your music with your passenger's Sena 10R. Your passenger can also use her own phone to listen to her music. Note that music is paused during intercom conversations. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-10r-low-profile-motorcycle-bluetooth-headset
Hi, 3 questions: 1. It's clear that the 10S can trigger voice command on your phone (like saying 'ok google' or 'hey siri'). Is this what the middle button does on the 10R? 2. How easy is it to switch between bluetooth connection and FM radio? Also, how good is the FM reception? - Most FM radios would require an aerial to get a decent signal, I'd have thought.. 3. The speakers on my previous set (blinc m1) was a clumsy fit and my ears would sometimes rip the velcro off when I put the helmet on. Is this better & how? Has anyone else had this problem? I noticed the 10U is fully fixed to avoid this problem but you need the exact right helmet to fit it. Thanks so much in advance for your help!
Because the middle button on the 10R is multi-functional and duration-dependent, it does not function the same as holding down the dedicated phone button on the 10S to activate a phone's voice command. I haven't been able to activate Siri/Google Assistant with the 10R. As for the radio, it's pretty easy to switch between radio and Bluetooth. The speaker wires act as an antenna, but reception isn't great. I don't have any issues with the speakers coming loose, but it depends on your ears and your helmet. -DrewZilla
Haha, yea I guess it doesn't help that I have ridiculous dumbo ears... FM radio is a big factor for me, but I guess anything short of having an antenna sticking out the top of my helmet will be the best I can do. Thanks so much for the info on the voice command - This makes my decision. I'll be ordering the 10S tonight. Much appreciated.
I have a problem... I'm trying to install it on the Agv K5 helmet but the k5 already has some sort of pre installed sound system inside it. how would I install it on my agv k5 helmet??
I don't believe so, unless the AGV speakers include a standard 3.5mm male plug. If the AGV speakers have that standard 3.5mm plug, you would then also need to purchase the Sena 10R Earbud Adapter Split Cable. Therefore, I still recommend removing the AGV speakers, in order to use the Sena speakers included with the 10R. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-10r-earbud-adapter-split-cable
+P Shafer It's very water- and mud-resistant. I've ridden in heavy rainstorms without issue. You just need to make sure the rubber cover for the USB charging port is seated properly. -DrewZilla
has anyone been able to pair the 10r with a uclear? I can't get universal pairing to actually connect the headset's. I feel like I tried everything and this is my last resort. lol
havent found anything on outdoore use during winter, im looking at this but im not a biker, im a snowmobiler, would love to see or get specs on batterylongevity @ -20c or below.
This low-profile Sena 10R is the best option for most track helmets. The Sena 10U would be the best option if you have an Arai track helmet. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-10r-low-profile-motorcycle-bluetooth-headset *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-10u-bluetooth-headset-for-arai-full-face-helmets
NONE why would you want more on your helmet or distractions for that matter track the bike and stop worrying about the social life if you cant handle that then you shouldn't be on the track. Not to mention Im pretty sure most track day organizations will find it to be a safety issue and not allow it.
Any adhesive mounting Sena would be a great option for the N33 since it doesn't have much space for a clamp mount. So if you are look at the 50 series, the 50R would be a better choice however any Sena unit could be right if it fits your communication needs. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at 877.792.9455 or CS@revzilla.com. Ride safe, -Pat
Yes, the 10R (not the SMH10R) comes with the same speakers as the 20S. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-10r-low-profile-motorcycle-bluetooth-headset
The SMH10R uses Bluetooth 3.0. The new 10R uses Bluetooth 4.1, which allows for better battery life and use of Sena's smartphone app. The 10R also has better volume and better noise reduction. -DrewZilla
We haven't carried Chatterbox for awhile now, and they've been losing popularity as smaller Bluetooth communicators have gained popularity. For almost all HJC helmets, I'd recommend this Sena 10R or most any universal-mount Bluetooth communicator. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-10r-low-profile-motorcycle-bluetooth-headset *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle-bluetooth-communications
For a motorcycle communicator-specific GPS, I recommend the Garmin Zumo series and TomTom Rider. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/garmin-zumo-595lm-motorcycle-gps *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/garmin-zumo-590lm-motorcycle-gps *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/garmin-zumo-350lm-motorcycle-gps *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/garmin-zumo-395lm-motorcycle-gps *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/garmin-zumo-390lm-gps *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/tomtom-rider-400-gps
The speakers and microphone will fit inside, but the controller and battery will be on the outside of course. You will need to mount the speakers to the cheek pad bases beneath the removable cheek pad fabric covers. -DrewZilla
I bought two pairsSchubert src ystem one for me and one for my wife, both of them had several problems, My wifes i think is still working,we dont use them anymore beacause mine after the expiry of guarantee they couldnt do anything!!! so i would like to ask if anyone knows,if i bought the One that everybody is recommending(sena 10u)it will match with schuberth src?
The SRC and Sena 10U for Schuberth can pair via the 10U's universal intercom pairing feature, but the intercom distance is slightly reduced. If you ride together as rider and passenger, this wouldn't be an issue. -DrewZilla
Sure! You can technically install a Bluetooth unit on any helmet with enough ingenuity and elbow grease. Some helmets are just designed to accept those units better (i.e with speaker pockets, etc) but the Pista does not have any of those since it is a purely race designed helmet. You can still install the unit onto the Pista, but it will likely take some thought to connect it up. - Pat
I'm really sorry to hear your last phone experience was less than expected. Let me see if I can address your question. If you want a communicator with universal pairing, please first understand that you can only pair to one communicator from a different brand. The Sena 20S, 10S, 10U, and 10R all offer universal intercom pairing as do the Cardo PackTalk, Cardo SmartPack, and Interphone models. With the Sena models, you can have four-way intercom with three Senas and one non-Sena or two Senas and two non-Senas (for example, you pair each Sena with one of the non-Senas then pair the two Senas together). The same is true of the Cardo and Interphone. If you just need to pair with one non-Sena user, then I recommend the 20S, 10S, or the 10R. Hope this helps! -DrewZilla
+RevZilla it came off wrong, I meant, wish there where more options in products not your service. I think is a great site and excellent customer service. I've made my wish list but still looking at other products to order👍🏻.
If you use the adhesive-backed Velcro mounts, you can easily move the controller from helmet to helmet. However, you'd want to have separate speakers, microphone, and battery for each helmet. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-10r-speakers *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-10r-battery-pack *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-10r-wired-microphone
+Darrell N Speaker will comfortable fit in the AX-8 EVO (the dirt helmet without a face shield), whereas the AX-8 DS EVO and AX-8 Naked (the Dual Sport version with a face shield) has different cheek pads that cover the ears, so it's tougher to mount speakers in the DS and Naked versions. -DrewZilla
I am new to motorcycle Bluetooth headsets. I am looking for something mainly for music and phones calls. I ride a Harley Davidson so my bike is pretty loud and I would like something around $100. I am looking at the Sena 10R or the smh5. Anyone have any advice?
Well around $100, that eliminates the 10R, but that's fine, because I'd recommend the SMH5. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-smh5-bluetooth-headset
+RevZilla yes I just noticed that. And for sound quality with music would you recommend the smh5 or would you recommend paying extra for the smh10 or the uclear?
Yes, the microphone has a connector that can be disconnected. See the links below for reference. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-10r-wired-boom-microphone *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-10r-low-profile-motorcycle-bluetooth-headset
+Leo Lastre Yes, you can remove the tinted Pro Shade visor, but it is not easily doable "on-the-fly". Additionally, once the Pro Shade visor is removed, the black pivot points of the Pro Shade system are still attached to the clear visor. If you don't like the Pro Shade visor system that comes installed on the Arai Signet-Q Pro-Tour Tactical Helmet, we recommend getting a standard Arai SAI face shield to use with the helmet instead. If you want Pinlock anti-fog capability, we recommend replacing the Pro Shade dual visor system with an Arai SAI Max Vision Pinlock face shield (which you would pair with the Max Vision Pinlock insert that comes with this specific helmet). -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/arai-signet-q-pro-tour-tactical-helmet *www.revzilla.com/product/arai-sai-face-shield (not Pinlock-compatible) *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/arai-sai-max-vision-pinlock-ready-face-shield-w-brow-vents
It also has a universal pairing feature, so that it can pair with other brands. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-10r-low-profile-motorcycle-bluetooth-headset
+Vitalogy PJ Yes, the Sena 10R uses Bluetooth 4.1 compared to the X-COM, which uses Bluetooth 3.0. That means the Sena 10R has longer battery life. -DrewZilla
Yes, it is water-resistant, so you can ride with it in the rain. Other Sena communicators are not weather-resistant, which is why the 10R is a nice option. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-10r-low-profile-motorcycle-bluetooth-headset
RevZilla . So first I want to say thank you for the review. Really do appreciate it. Good review as well, but I have a question. So I want to buy this unit but I would like to know how would the fitment be for a SCORPION EXO R2000?! Since your return policy for electronics are "Open and done" just want to make sure it will fit. Again, great review.
Not by itself. You'd have to pair the 10R to a Sena SR10 2-way radio adapter, and even then, you'd need a compatible plug or make your own plug. See the following links for more info. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-sr10-bluetooth-two-way-radio-adapter *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-sr10-2-way-radio-connector-cable *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-sr10-2-way-radio-cable-straight-twin-pin-connector-for-midland-icom *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-sr10-2-way-radio-cable-with-open-end
RevZilla Thank you for the 411. I see I might have to keep my motorcycle helmet separate from my Paragliding helmet. I was trying to combine the two. I feel much safer in my motorcycle helmet that the Paragliding helmet. Thank you once again. I’ll check out the sites you sent me. Later!
With the charging port closed, it's waterproof. It fits the newer K3 SV, but with the older K3 cheek pads, there isn't a lot of room for speakers. This Sena 10R can still be installed, but there may be comfort issues with the speakers. -DrewZilla
Hold the center button on the 10R until you hear "universal intercom pairing" from the speakers. Then on the F5MC, press the up and middle buttons to enter setup mode. Then press the up button until you reach the "Anycom Search" function. The two intercoms should then pair. -DrewZilla
+WILD WEAZEL125 For motovlogging, you would also need the Sena GP10 Bluetooth Audio Back for GoPro. As the name suggests, it attaches to the back of a compatible GoPro to create the Bluetooth link between the GoPro camera and the Sena 10R communicator. So for motovlogging, you would need a GoPro Hero3/3+/4, the Sena GP10 Audio Back, and the Sena 10R. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-bluetooth-audio-back-for-gopro-with-waterproof-housing *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-10r-low-profile-motorcycle-bluetooth-headset
The only advantage is that it is very low-profile. Otherwise, the larger 20S offers more battery life, more range, audio multitasking, and larger potential group intercom. -DrewZilla

New 10r as shown in the video. If you go to the PLAY store you will see everyone has complained about this and most ratings are 1 star. It otherwise connects fine manually but annoying its not supported.
Siri works better with Sena communicators that have a dedicated 'Phone' button. Therefore, I recommend the Sena 20S and 10S. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-20s-bluetooth-headset *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-10s-bluetooth-headset
You guys need to be a little more honest in your presentations and tell the customers what Sena units can’t have the batteries replaced. Some Sena units are total throw away if the battery dies outside the manufacturers warranty!! BUYER BEWARE!!!!
Someone in Sena needs a slap. Who would call one product "SMR10R" and then call the next model a "10R"? Not confusing at all. Why not "SMH11R"?
+Darren T I don't disagree with you. -DrewZilla ;-)

has anyone been able to pair the 10r with a uclear? I can't get universal pairing to actually connect the headset's. I feel like I tried everything and this is my last resort. lol
+RevZilla can I connect the 10R speakers to the SMH10R device?
+salival11 No, as the new 10R speakers have separate connectors for L and R speakers. The SMH10R speaker wires join to a single connector. -DrewZilla
havent found anything on outdoore use during winter, im looking at this but im not a biker, im a snowmobiler, would love to see or get specs on batterylongevity @ -20c or below.
Unfortunately, none of the communicators is rated for that low a temperature. -DrewZilla
Can you install the battery on the inside of the helmet, I have a AGV K5?
No, the battery cannot be installed easily inside the helmet. -DrewZilla
What would be the best Bluetooth com for a track helmet or what is the best all internal com unit
This low-profile Sena 10R is the best option for most track helmets. The Sena 10U would be the best option if you have an Arai track helmet. -DrewZilla

thank you very much.
NONE why would you want more on your helmet or distractions for that matter track the bike and stop worrying about the social life if you cant handle that then you shouldn't be on the track. Not to mention Im pretty sure most track day organizations will find it to be a safety issue and not allow it.
Hello everyone, what’s the best SENA for NOLAN N33 EVO Helmet? Can I got with SENA 50R low profile? Thanks in advance
Any adhesive mounting Sena would be a great option for the N33 since it doesn't have much space for a clamp mount. So if you are look at the 50 series, the 50R would be a better choice however any Sena unit could be right if it fits your communication needs. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at 877.792.9455 or CS@revzilla.com. Ride safe, -Pat
Did u say they come with the Sena 20S speakers now?
Yes, the 10R (not the SMH10R) comes with the same speakers as the 20S. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-10r-low-profile-motorcycle-bluetooth-headset
What's the difference between the two???
The SMH10R uses Bluetooth 3.0. The new 10R uses Bluetooth 4.1, which allows for better battery life and use of Sena's smartphone app. The 10R also has better volume and better noise reduction. -DrewZilla
revzilla witch chatterbox for hjc helmets would be the best
We haven't carried Chatterbox for awhile now, and they've been losing popularity as smaller Bluetooth communicators have gained popularity. For almost all HJC helmets, I'd recommend this Sena 10R or most any universal-mount Bluetooth communicator. -DrewZilla

what would be a good choice for GPS to pair with the 10???
For a motorcycle communicator-specific GPS, I recommend the Garmin Zumo series and TomTom Rider. -DrewZilla

Hi guys, do you know if this will fit inside a Arai Chaser V? Thanks
The speakers and microphone will fit inside, but the controller and battery will be on the outside of course. You will need to mount the speakers to the cheek pad bases beneath the removable cheek pad fabric covers. -DrewZilla
OK cool, thanks DrewZilla. I was not sure if the Chaser V had these pockets or not for the speakers.
does the sena 10r fits on the AGV k5 deep? thanks !
Yes, the Sena 10R will mount on the AGV K5 Deep. -DrewZilla

I bought two pairsSchubert src ystem one for me and one for my wife, both of them had several problems, My wifes i think is still working,we dont use them anymore beacause mine after the expiry of guarantee they couldnt do anything!!!
so i would like to ask if anyone knows,if i bought the One that everybody is recommending(sena 10u)it will match with schuberth src?
The SRC and Sena 10U for Schuberth can pair via the 10U's universal intercom pairing feature, but the intercom distance is slightly reduced. If you ride together as rider and passenger, this wouldn't be an issue. -DrewZilla
RevZilla Thank you!
is it possible to install this Bluetooth headset on AGV Pstra GP R?
Sure! You can technically install a Bluetooth unit on any helmet with enough ingenuity and elbow grease. Some helmets are just designed to accept those units better (i.e with speaker pockets, etc) but the Pista does not have any of those since it is a purely race designed helmet. You can still install the unit onto the Pista, but it will likely take some thought to connect it up. - Pat
Why do you allways glance to the left a brief moment in your ultrafast opening line?
It's just a glitch in the Matrix. -DrewZilla
Can you stream music from the likes of Spotify and receive navigation instructions from the likes of Google maps at the same time?
Yes, you can do that, as your phone is handling the audio mixing/switching. -DrewZilla
I'm still looking at revzillas line. Looking for something that pairs with other nonSena users. My last call wasn't what I expected from Revzilla.
I'm really sorry to hear your last phone experience was less than expected. Let me see if I can address your question. If you want a communicator with universal pairing, please first understand that you can only pair to one communicator from a different brand. The Sena 20S, 10S, 10U, and 10R all offer universal intercom pairing as do the Cardo PackTalk, Cardo SmartPack, and Interphone models. With the Sena models, you can have four-way intercom with three Senas and one non-Sena or two Senas and two non-Senas (for example, you pair each Sena with one of the non-Senas then pair the two Senas together). The same is true of the Cardo and Interphone. If you just need to pair with one non-Sena user, then I recommend the 20S, 10S, or the 10R. Hope this helps! -DrewZilla
+RevZilla it came off wrong, I meant, wish there where more options in products not your service. I think is a great site and excellent customer service. I've made my wish list but still looking at other products to order👍🏻.
Can this be moved from helmet to helmet? Or once it's installed it stays there?
If you use the adhesive-backed Velcro mounts, you can easily move the controller from helmet to helmet. However, you'd want to have separate speakers, microphone, and battery for each helmet. -DrewZilla

Will speakers fit comfortable in AGV ax-8 EVO helmet ?
+Darrell N Speaker will comfortable fit in the AX-8 EVO (the dirt helmet without a face shield), whereas the AX-8 DS EVO and AX-8 Naked (the Dual Sport version with a face shield) has different cheek pads that cover the ears, so it's tougher to mount speakers in the DS and Naked versions. -DrewZilla
@@RevZilla Do you have any affordable intercom suggestion that fits easily to AX-8 DS EVO helmets?
I am new to motorcycle Bluetooth headsets. I am looking for something mainly for music and phones calls. I ride a Harley Davidson so my bike is pretty loud and I would like something around $100. I am looking at the Sena 10R or the smh5. Anyone have any advice?
Well around $100, that eliminates the 10R, but that's fine, because I'd recommend the SMH5. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-smh5-bluetooth-headset
+RevZilla yes I just noticed that. And for sound quality with music would you recommend the smh5 or would you recommend paying extra for the smh10 or the uclear?
Does anyone know if I can remove the boom mic without cutting the wire? I'd like to ride without it sometimes
Yes, the microphone has a connector that can be disconnected. See the links below for reference. -DrewZilla

is it possible to remove the tinted visor?
+Leo Lastre Yes, you can remove the tinted Pro Shade visor, but it is not easily doable "on-the-fly". Additionally, once the Pro Shade visor is removed, the black pivot points of the Pro Shade system are still attached to the clear visor. If you don't like the Pro Shade visor system that comes installed on the Arai Signet-Q Pro-Tour Tactical Helmet, we recommend getting a standard Arai SAI face shield to use with the helmet instead. If you want Pinlock anti-fog capability, we recommend replacing the Pro Shade dual visor system with an Arai SAI Max Vision Pinlock face shield (which you would pair with the Max Vision Pinlock insert that comes with this specific helmet). -DrewZilla

Does this work exclusively sena to sena?
It also has a universal pairing feature, so that it can pair with other brands. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-10r-low-profile-motorcycle-bluetooth-headset
Does anyone know if there's a way to make this work with the Scorpion Covert helmet?
We have not been able to use it successfully with the Scorpion Covert. -DrewZilla
RevZilla any suggestions on a product that would work? Or should I invest in a second helmet?
I'd invest in a second helmet. -DrewZilla
would thus work on a dirt bike style helmet
+Andrew Trainor Yes, the 10R works well on dirt helmets. -DrewZilla
Will this pair with 20s? Thank You
Yes, it will pair to any Sena communicator including the 20S. -DrewZilla
Is this better than the Nexx Xcom?
+Vitalogy PJ Yes, the Sena 10R uses Bluetooth 4.1 compared to the X-COM, which uses Bluetooth 3.0. That means the Sena 10R has longer battery life. -DrewZilla
Dose it fit on the HJC RPHA 11 pro?
Yes, it easily fits on the RPHA 11 Pro. -DrewZilla
This may sound stupid, I honestly don't know.... is this water resistant? (ie can I motor around in the rain with this?)
Yes, it is water-resistant, so you can ride with it in the rain. Other Sena communicators are not weather-resistant, which is why the 10R is a nice option. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-10r-low-profile-motorcycle-bluetooth-headset
+RevZilla Brill! thanks! always helpful info from you guys!
RevZilla .
So first I want to say thank you for the review. Really do appreciate it. Good review as well, but I have a question.
So I want to buy this unit but I would like to know how would the fitment be for a SCORPION EXO R2000?!
Since your return policy for electronics are "Open and done" just want to make sure it will fit.
Again, great review.
I live in Northern Canada. Is there a way to turn of the system if is POURING rain? Or is it good to go regardless of the amount of rain?
Its fine to use in any weather rain wont hurt it anymore if its on or off.
Can the Sena 10R pair up to a Two Meter Radio?
Not by itself. You'd have to pair the 10R to a Sena SR10 2-way radio adapter, and even then, you'd need a compatible plug or make your own plug. See the following links for more info. -DrewZilla

RevZilla Thank you for the 411. I see I might have to keep my motorcycle helmet separate from my Paragliding helmet. I was trying to combine the two. I feel much safer in my motorcycle helmet that the Paragliding helmet. Thank you once again. I’ll check out the sites you sent me. Later!
Is this waterproof? Can it fit in agv K3?
With the charging port closed, it's waterproof. It fits the newer K3 SV, but with the older K3 cheek pads, there isn't a lot of room for speakers. This Sena 10R can still be installed, but there may be comfort issues with the speakers. -DrewZilla
How can I pair sena 10r with interphone f5mc.
Hold the center button on the 10R until you hear "universal intercom pairing" from the speakers. Then on the F5MC, press the up and middle buttons to enter setup mode. Then press the up button until you reach the "Anycom Search" function. The two intercoms should then pair. -DrewZilla
Tried, tried,,, but no success...
Could I connect this to a GoPro for motovlogging?
+WILD WEAZEL125 For motovlogging, you would also need the Sena GP10 Bluetooth Audio Back for GoPro. As the name suggests, it attaches to the back of a compatible GoPro to create the Bluetooth link between the GoPro camera and the Sena 10R communicator. So for motovlogging, you would need a GoPro Hero3/3+/4, the Sena GP10 Audio Back, and the Sena 10R. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-bluetooth-audio-back-for-gopro-with-waterproof-housing
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-10r-low-profile-motorcycle-bluetooth-headset
+RevZilla Also you could get a Garmin Virb XE, which will pair to a bluetooth headset and mix your audio in automatically!
can this fit on any motorcycle helmet?
It will fit almost any full-face or modular helmet. -DrewZilla
what is the advantage over 20s
The only advantage is that it is very low-profile. Otherwise, the larger 20S offers more battery life, more range, audio multitasking, and larger potential group intercom. -DrewZilla
and not weather proof
do you guys ship to India?
Yes, we do ship to India. Shipping cost depends on size, weight, and value. Some brands may not be shipped to certain destinations due to manufacturer restrictions. If you have selected an item that cannot be shipped internationally, we will inform you in the checkout process on our site. Please see our International Orders Page (rvz.la/intl-order) for more details. -DrewZilla
If I connect it to my phone and then use discord to talk to my friends... does it work?
Yes, that can work. -DrewZilla
RevZilla Ok, thank you.
will sena10R fit in Shark Speed R?
+Khalid Hasan Walid it fits on every helmet. At least every full face helmet
+2cool0 ahh ok!! thank you :)
+Khalid Hasan Walid That's correct. The 10R easily fits the Shark Speed-R. -DrewZilla
I didn't get what the range was for communication
It's about a half mile. -DrewZilla
Could i hide the battery in my helmet?
As long as you have enough space in the helmet, then yes. Most helmets don't have enough space in the neck roll though. -DrewZilla
what kind of helmet is that?
It's the Arai Signet-Q Pro-Tour Tactical Helmet. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/arai-signet-q-pro-tour-tactical-helmet
Can you make phone calls with it
If you have the 10R paired via Bluetooth to your mobile phone, then yes, you can use the 10R to make and receive phone calls. -DrewZilla
App does not support the 10R even though it does state on PLAY it does so not as easy as it makes it seem.
Do you have the new 10R or the older SMH10R? -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-10r-low-profile-motorcycle-bluetooth-headset
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-smh10r-bluetooth-headset
New 10r as shown in the video. If you go to the PLAY store you will see everyone has complained about this and most ratings are 1 star. It otherwise connects fine manually but annoying its not supported.
what kinda helmet is he holding?
It's the Arai Signet-Q Pro-Tour Tactical. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/arai-signet-q-pro-tour-tactical-helmet
holy crap thanks for responding :D
How does Siri work with this good??
Siri works better with Sena communicators that have a dedicated 'Phone' button. Therefore, I recommend the Sena 20S and 10S. -DrewZilla

Make it black and add antenna
Then I’m sold
Hey this... Anth... Revz... Tv ... Watch deciiiideeeee......
why he always wears the same tshirt? (=
(watched some jacket reviews with my wife last night and she brought that question up ahha)
Yuri Goytacaz Its because they make quite a few videos in one day so often its the same T-shirt but also he probably has unlimited supply of it.
come on he has a image to show thats why he always wheres the look at me muscle shirts. its about EGO EGO EGO
1:24 LOL wut?
You guys need to be a little more honest in your presentations and tell the customers what Sena units can’t have the batteries replaced. Some Sena units are total throw away if the battery dies outside the manufacturers warranty!! BUYER BEWARE!!!!
Justice Man can you tell me another brand?
This sena is probably the worst one I've ever had. Better off buying the 20s
Why does he always jerk his head and speak real fast during the introduction?
Just a glitch in the Matrix. -DrewZilla
RevZilla, can i fit this blue tooth on my xm 9 helmet and if not, is there a bluetooth from zena that may work?
Made in Japan.
Bro, slow the fuck down with your intros. You get paid by the hour.
K
wtf is this guy saying ???
This guy Anthony? really needs to slow his speech down. Ruined what could have been a very informative video!
that's every video he does that is why i hate the when he does them rather then the other guys who actually speak normal and not in auction mode
Buy a different shirt.
Will this work on a kabuto ff 5v?
Yes, it works on the FF-5V. -DrewZilla
