I’ve had the 5S for a while don’t really need to upgrade to the newer models or more expensive ones unless you’re doing really big group rides it’s not needed
Hey Rizki thanks for watching the review and your quastion. And i know this going to sound stupid but are you fully turning the unit off by holding down the power button until the unit says Goodby?
@@RoadRashTV yes already make sure of it for several times, i even check it regularly in day 1 and 2 that the condition of batter is still full. In day 3 the battery is dried out. I try compare with my smh5fm, i left it for more than a week butbthe battery still there. I ask the seller about it and he said it is normal. I wonder if other user also experience same thing.
Its not something that i have come across and doesn't sound like it should discharge itself like that but i wiil keep you informed if anyone else comments on it

Just purchased one of these! Very little info out there for the Voice Command function for SENA. I can get Siri to work with the rear red button and voice activation but can’t figure out how to get SENA to respond. Any advice?
HI Mike, thanks for watching and in answer to your question we found with most of the SENA units it's sometimes about how you pronounce the trigger word, try saying SEANA instead of SENA as apparently that's how it's pronounced and i would update the software if you haven't already done so. I hope this helps Mike let us know if this works. Ps thanks for your SUB👍 Tank soon Bobbymax.
@@RoadRashTV great fortunately, thx! And my ride is the baby BMW 310gs for the daily commute, great for the bumpy roads and heavy traffic (7 million cars 🤦♂️) in Mexico City
Great Vid,, subscribed, I think you forgot to mention the Audio multitasking that this unit has , it's also a Much cheaper unit then the 10S and 50S your suggesting,

My 5s has an incredibly loud and ear-piercing "ding" at random times. One consistent time though is if you rotate volume to max, then it makes a very loud "ding" that ruins this unit for me. Anyone else have this issue? I tried to reset it, fiddle with settings with no change.
I have my fm radio channels on presets. But how do I go about switching from 1 preset to another instead of going through all the unnecessary fm station? Thank you!
Hi Zane first of all thanks for watching the review and i wish i coul help you with your questionim but i dont have the unit any more to test it and let you know Sorry😒 Kepp on keepin on Zane Bobbymax
Hey Bob, thanks for your kind comment. We havent tested that one yet but we did review the 50S and the 10C EVO. You can find both reviews on our channel link below. th-cam.com/users/RoadRashTV Ill look into the SFR unit Bob and thanks for the tip👍
Hey! What about battery? On the Web site, the talking time is 7 hour. Is it the same listining the music time? İ think that listening time is like 9 hour. What dou you think? Thanks a lot.
This was more informational than revzilla, sadly my kit came with distored speakers will have to take em back after a purchaseing them friday night, i had good expections but man the distortion was irritating as hell also VOX seems to variate the volume and begun to annoy me
Hey Fatur thanks for watching and thanks for commenting, although it's hard to give you a full list of units the 5S will connect to sena say it will connect to pretty much anything on the market today using Universal Intercom. This allows you to have two-way intercom conversations with users of non-Sena Bluetooth headsets. You can pair your headset with only one non-Sena headset at a time. The intercom distance depends on the performance of the Bluetooth headset to which it is connected. When a non-Sena Bluetooth headset is paired with the Sena headset, if another Bluetooth device is paired via Second Mobile Phone Pairing, it will be disconnected. Ps. We have loads of bluetooth reviews on our channel "Link Below" th-cam.com/users/RoadRashTV Thanks again for watching and keep on keepin on Fatur! Bobbymax
@@chrisgrilas682 Hi Chris yes the sena voice commands can be a bit hit and mis, apparently some new update is on the way to help sort it out but i'm not sure when, but ill let you know if i get wind of it

I have 5S dual pack but i can not activate FM radio. Any version difference?
I got the single pack and mine doesn't work
Looks like a firmware update removed it in 2021

You can always replace the battery for one with more mAh! I just replaced my old SMH5 FM battery for a 500 mAh one, stock was 400 mAh. 😎
love that little helmet i need one haha
