[@Rip1Outdoors]

WoW what a pleasant surprise this morning. Than you Sena for blessing these fine folks!

[@southernebiking]

Thanks for watching Richard. Sorry it took so long to respond, just been wide-open hectic here. Appreciate you much.

[@donb2592]

You will enjoy your sena smart helmets. I used Sena on my motorcycles in my younger years. Now I use them on our ebikes. I purchased the Sena PI for myself and my girlfriend. The reason I bought the PI was that you can install it easily on any helmet. Works great, always enjoyed sena products. I also enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@southernebiking]

Thank you Don. We definitely have some fun out there. So far we are really enjoying these. Thanks for watching it thank you much for the compliment.

[@RVEnthusiast]

Nice helmets and that great that Sena sent them to you. great to hear. Love Love Love the colors you choose. Sorry it took a while to watch as a great friend of mine is in ICU and I have been a little busy. Great job Blaine.

[@southernebiking]

Hey Bruce. Sorry to hear about your friend. Hopefully everything works out. I will tell you a prayer works. I always appreciate when you are able to watch.

[@RVEnthusiast]

@@southernebiking TY.

[@wrongbro112]

You will love these. Me and my wife don’t ride without ours.

[@southernebiking]

That is the hope. I really like the easy communication between us. Thank you so much for watching.

[@jorgejorge5542]

Great video. I didnt know how to go to configuration menu until I watched your video. Thank you very much!

[@southernebiking]

To unpaired the phone, you should be able to unconnected from your phone settings. I have done that, I’m gonna have to look into it today on how to do a complete factory reset because I have not been able to reconnect my phone after doing that. So I will check that out today. Thanks for watching.

[@jorgejorge5542]

Thanks. I am charging my helmet now and later I will try do unpair my phone

[@southernebiking]

@@jorgejorge5542 when you go into the configuration. There is a place that you can do a factory reset. You can then go into the configuration and click I believe one time to get pairing for your phone. Be aware, I disconnected my phone because you cannot have the intercom working with another rider and your Bluetooth to the phone on the same channel. When we are out on road trips, I use my voice navigation. So I will connect my phone to an earbud for those rides.

[@southernebiking]

@@jorgejorge5542 well I just did some experimenting Jorge. I can actually flip between my earbuds or my helmet. I do have to do that in the phone settings though. To get to pairing the phone, hold the center button until it says configuration menu. The first thing it will say is pairing. Continue holding through this. Then you can click the plus button one time and it will go into phone pairing. Turn on your phone, go into the Bluetooth settings and it should say Sena r1 you can click connect then. To unpair the phone from the helmet. In your phone settings you can click disconnect. Close the settings and then reopen and go to previously connected devices. Of course your helmet should be turned off while you are doing this. You should have the center helmet listed there. You can click forget on the phone settings and that should unpair them. Thanks for watching.

[@jorgejorge5542]

​@@southernebikingThank you very very veeery much for helping me

[@southernebiking]

Thanks for watching Terry. So far we are enjoying these helmets.

[@terrynelson2385]

Youz is sounding good.

[@frankhaag6232]

Did you ever make a second video on the side of the helmet?

[@southernebiking]

Thank you for watching Frank. We did not make a dedicated video, but we have talked about some of the settings on some of our other videos. If you have any questions about it if your ask I’ll be happy to tell you everything I know. We have been very satisfied with his helmets. It is one accessory that always goes with us when we are riding together. And this is coming from somebody that didn’t even wear a helmet for the longest time.

[@JodyMulhollam]

Don’t you obey traffic signs when riding? I didn’t see you stop at the stop sign.

[@KevinMullarkey]

Great idea but what happens when you have to replace the helmet after about 5 years?

[@southernebiking]

Then we will just replace them. That would come to about $30 each a year. For great conversation, over several 1000 miles each year. I'd called at a pretty good value. Thanks much for watching kevin

[@Joerides7]

How do they do with the wind at e-bike speeds? Hard to hear? wind noise coming through the microphone?

[@southernebiking]

They seem to work pretty well as far as wind is concerned. The biggest interference that I’ve seen is if somebody has one I’m very loose, you can get some scratching noise carrying through. But overall we’re pretty pleased with them. I have not tried it over 20 mile an hour yet, but I will say they also have a visor that I would think would eliminate any wind noise. If that did not, a dead cat would definitely do the trick.

[@senatechnologies]

As long as the wind is relatively steady and not absurdly gusty, you won't hear it :). Sena is the leader in motorcycle communication systems, and our wind noise cancelling technology (which can handle wind speeds encountered on motorcycle rides) is something we're proud of :)

[@southernebiking]

@@senatechnologies this is exactly what we have noticed. I have not had any problems at all with wind. As a matter fact, we are very much enjoying these helmets. Thank you very much sena

[@southernebiking]

First off let me tell you all that I’m sorry I have not responded earlier. Just been a bit hectic here. No real problems just busy.
