Plenty of TH-camrs could get a lesson in how setting up the correct lighting and camera angle makes a difficult to see task much clearer. Well done sir.
Just a FYI, if you run the cable from the speaker over the top of the helmet your FM reception is slightly better, especially when you get further away from the signal out in the bush.
I have a Sena 50R and will admit, it’s probably the most confusing and difficult device I have to set up properly. The instructions are not from America, same as the phone app. The options and menus are not specific enough. I had to figure everything out on my own to get the wifi dongle to work properly and the correct app settings to work with iPhone’s “Hey Siri” commands.
I found that to be true on the first set up but the new Sena app seems to be easier to use and I had less issue with it. I have my Pan Am tied to it as well so I just use the controls on the handbar which is far better than the on device ones. I agree the Sena controls aren’t the best.
There is a recess in the side of the helmet for the speakers to go so it doesn’t press up against your ear. It also has some Velcro so you can just stick them on. The check pad has a cut out as well so it doesn’t effect the sound at all. I hope that helps.
I would go with the 50R or 50S if you want the better speakers or going riding where you may need more range. If you are looking to save a little bit on them and have a friend that would want one as well you can go for the dual pack to save. Other wise you can look for some cheaper options like the Cardo to save some money. Lastly if you ride in a group, make sure that you go with compatible devices as that will give you the best experience.
@@redhawkadventures8526 what does it says ? When you connecting them ? First time it's says phone pairing and the second times what does it says ? I can't find it anywhere
@@redhawkadventures8526 thanks a lot I will see.. it's not that important I could do without it but it will be nice if it works cos I use one main phone for calls and music and second for gps

Thank you. It took some work to setup under a tripod and make sure I could see what I was doing.

Nice video... friend and I are considering getting this unit, so very helpful,,, and well done too!
So we’re just not gonna talk about how you ninja snatched that bug out of the air mid-sentence at 6:50?
The point of a ninja is to go unnoticed so I thought I would get away with it without anyone noticing. I will do better next time.

Is there a volume control or mute button?
I have just bought this but seems the 50 app is no longer available ??? at least here I Australia
They have replaced the 50 utility app with the Sena Motorcycles app now. Look for the new app and it should work.
@@redhawkadventures8526 many thanks will do.
I couldn't tell where the speakers where placed. Are the speakers embedded behind the side cushing/foam? Doesnt this dampen the sound?

@@redhawkadventures8526 thank you. I have a shoei x14....will take a look.
Cool video, you did a nice job making it!
Thank you!
Do you think this would be worth it if I went on dirt bike rides with it? Or should I look for a cheaper version?

hello can you connect your sena to two mobiles at once ?
Yes. I have it connected to my phone and the motorcycle at the same time. I’m pretty sure you can do it to tell phones as well.
@@redhawkadventures8526 what does it says ? When you connecting them ? First time it's says phone pairing and the second times what does it says ? I can't find it anywhere
Thanks for the review I actually ordered one right now
It usually says phone connect then device connected.
