They continue to release vaporware that is years late, and when it is released, the firmware quality and specifications have been horrible at best. Over the past 2 years, the reputation of Sena has become more and more tarnished by the behavior of Sena. I am seeing way more forum members move over to Cardio - and I mean way more. I"m sorry - but I can no longer recommend Sena. And to make matters worse - their customer support has taken a serious dive. I know it's better now, but if Apple were to do what Sena now does on a regular basis - there would be a riot and their stock value would plummet. I lost $50 by buying the 30K - and that was almost a year after it first become available. But the thing that has kept me quiet on all Sena products there days is how the product is not ready when it is released and product marketing seems to be clueless as to market needs. And then when they finally launched the product - the specs where extremely vague with very little specifics - so much so that Revzilla altered their description to be more detailed and to limit the returns. Their noise cancelling helmet was a joke, but the 30K was yet another pre-announced product. ![]() The first is the pre-announcement of product - some years out. I've had a bunch of Sena products, but there is one very disturbing trend that has gotten totally out of control. I run a sport touring group on Facebook with 4000 very active members, and for years, I had talked about Sena with glowing regards. What Sena really needs for bike-to-bike communication is a FRS or GMRS radio that can pair with the Sena headset, and then use FRS for bike-to-bike. I also think that trying to connect bike-to-bike via bluetooth is going to turn out to be an exercise in total frustration. ![]() I'm curious to know if Sena is aware of this problem and if they have a fix, because I'm ready to put them back in the box and ship them back for a refund. It seems like they put way too much focus on this Mesh network, and didn't get the basic stuff right. The whole reason I purchased these was to have rider to passenger intercom and music and GPS commands in my headset. I've been through every single setting in the system and it simply does not work. When you turn the intercom on, everything else just shuts off, and if you want to go back to listening to music or using another device you have to turn the bluetooth intercom off altogether. The VOX intercom function does not automatically cut in over the music. When the bluetooth intercom is enabled, you can not listen to music or use any other connected device. ![]() I just got a Sena 30K dual set, and I'm more than a little disappointed.
