Re: Sena SMH5 intercom, any good?
true, so these things are like flat speaker jobbies then?

Re: Sena SMH5 intercom, any good?
Yes mate. Depending on your budget, there are cheaper bluetooth intercoms on Ebay which someone on here tried and they were pretty good for the money about £30 i think. But i haven't tried any

Re: Sena SMH5 intercom, any good?
We have some of the cheap eBay one, about £50 for 2 and cant fault them. Sound quality is good, range is acceptable and Bluetooth connection is spot on. For the money theyre well worth a look.

Re: Sena SMH5 intercom, any good?
Slightly off topic, but I thought I'd try out voice-only sat nav from my phone using wired in-ear noise-isolating earbuds.
It worked very well - a lovely quiet ride with a gentle voice telling me where to go, and the occasional bong when I went over the speed limit ... ... until I looked over my shoulder, caught the 'play' button and had Meat Loaf singing in my ears at full volume. Seriously considering something wireless now! |

Re: Sena SMH5 intercom, any good?
I tried voice only via my android phone. It didn't work for me. It was too late calling out the direction changes so i kept missing them. I like to see a rolling map in front of me and an indicator showing the next instruction.

In the car, I have a map and I rely on it quite heavily even if not navigating for things like seeing if a side-road is a short-cut or a dead-end. On a bike, I'm not sure if this wouldn't be too distracting, I'm definitely in two minds. |

Re: Sena SMH5 intercom, any good?
I'm using a car tomtom in a Garmin case. It can be distracting but i just look at the next instruction icon, say turn left in 2 miles or straight across on the next island and drive to that. I tend to look at the map when stopped at junctions or on long boring bits of road

Re: Sena SMH5 intercom, any good?
I can't recommend navmii enough as a satnav, it's free, doesn't use your data allowance as the map is downloaded onto your device. It works well and you can adjust the routes to suit you
Ride safe |
