Excellent video! You answered all the questions I was having issues with!

[@Dracati]

Super Smooth Sena viddi! You're Always with the best reviews... & now batting, lol Great explanations and editing technique of the mesh features, too Thanks for the info to purchase a set next!

[@Slaskenberg1919]

Great review, keep them coming.

[@perpetualmoto]

Great work!! Keep the vids coming!

[@qnsnyc2303]

Always informative. Great vid

[@katsugi183]

The private mesh is like having google hangout on the go. Very handy tool ❤❤

[@OCRMIG]

Very informative, great video!

[@Sethhaun78]

Great info thanks

[@brettmyers8093]

Excellent job demonstrating.

[@AdamSVT]

thank you!

[@RingoTravels]

Great video. Very informative

[@Madmotodad]

It would be sweet if you could get a set of the Cardo's and do a comparison.

[@BurningRamen]

Quality video!!! I need to step up my video editing game. Lol! I should have spent a little more for the Dual instead of the single so I could actually test out the mesh tech.

[@silversurfertim2123]

Cool thanks for the info 👌🏼

[@650ib]

Awesome video Sir! I like private Mesh!

[@judboyd57]

I like your video. The information was very well

[@AdamSVT]

thank you

[@paulgianni]

Thank you for this video. When I heard, "Now batting ...," it reminded me of the 1980 movie Airplane, when Robert Hayes' character Ted Striker first took control of the plane.

[@AdamSVT]

hehe.. a classic

[@teddyr__]

Awesome review... can't wait to see more what it can do

[@chiptaxfree]

In the video you mentioned a follow-up video regarding range of the 30k and such. I would love to see if I'm a video or a two-year review of the 30k units.

[@texaslonestarrider]

Well Done!

[@AdamSVT]

thank you so much!

[@McDee_Rick]

Hi there, Nice video. Just wonder... where do you get your information about how exactly setup every darn thing. The joined documentation is not very clear... One of the comments asked a question how to join several sena on a mesh group... i wonder too

[@adamwowk4520]

Hey mate nice vid! Do you know if i create a private mesh on my 30k, can one or multiple 20s join in? Just like when u brought in that 20s while in public?

[@MotoGeekFreak]

Wait, Cardo’s PACKTALK has been doing this for about 2 years now...but welcome aboard Sena!!!

[@Jimbobd421]

MotoGeek Freak but it’s not as clear as sena. Been there done that.

[@Dygear]

AWESOME VIDEO! Very, very good job. Explained everything that I needed to know about the system. I would REALLY love it if you could tell me the FCCID on the radio so I can get more information about what it's using as far as digital modulation for the mesh network. It's gotta be some kind of DMR I'm just wondering what band it's transmitting in and at what power level.

[@AdamSVT]

Sorry I missed this Mark. I'll get the info and message you on FB

[@Dygear]

No problem at all.

[@hognut58]

Have you made the actual riding demo video with the 30k? ...if you have I couldn't find it, I just installed it on a new helmet and looking for all the info by actual riders.

[@randyspicer9253]

The mesh is a good step forward in bluetooth, and the 30k works well so far ( just 1000 miles tested ) ... we didn't get any where close to the advertised 1 mile public mode tho...Tip- the mic mute for the mesh mode is hold down the mesh button for 2 seconds

[@AdamSVT]

I saw the mic mute. not sure how often that would be helpful.. maybe you use it more than I would... that's not good about the range deficiency..

[@renegadebiker24]

Dafobra , how effective are the mics over time? I had recently a problem with the mic with my 10c, that I had to get a new one. I wonder, if it was due to either weather, or due to humidity or rain on the foam insert that could have seeped through. The 30k has no camera, right? Would it work easily with the Sena backpack??

[@FNGMOTO]

Have you used the prism camera with the 30k? I've read that the prism won't record while using mesh intercom which doesn't make sense with the 30k having the bridge technology for Bluetooth and mesh.

[@dsd-downshiftdave8056]

Will the sena 50r connect to the sena spider. Can you be connected to mesh and still be connected to phone gps. Is mesh as clear as Bluetooth

[@TimKreitzAdventures]

Very cool. I swear, if Sena will ever send me one of these, I'll totally use it in my vids. LOL. :)

[@BxPolymath]

Damn that Mesh tech is VERY cool. The Public mode is what we were talking about in one of the rides. ONly if they sold just the 30k with no mic.

[@AdamSVT]

you mean the 30K just itself without the helmet clamp? Hmm.. that would be cool since 20S people technically don't need it...

[@BxPolymath]

dafobra Exactly. Saves ppl money and honestly more people would get that which could mean more money for them. If they sell 100k units at $299 = $30Mil VS 400k units at $99 = Almost 40mil. Plus they save on production costs.

[@th3s41nt]

Why does every review not go in depth with sound for listening to music? Is it loud enough? Better then just using headphones? Is there a lot of drown out? Can you hear the speakers still going 80mph down the freeway? Is the sound tinny when going over 30mph? Is the sound deep?

[@alynch880]

So.. Question... If you create a private mesh and then your group stops for lunch, do you have to reestablish the mesh or will it pick up where you left off with a private mesh. Blue tooth is nice because you just have to push a button and it pairs everyone back up.

[@motoranya]

mesh intercom is using uhf frequency?

[@Jimbobd421]

I only have 1 question. If I have the 30k and I’m on private let’s say with wife on back. A buddy comes along with a sena 10 or 20. Can I invite him to private with us. Awesome video.

[@HusCal]

I have 50C and i am looking for the most inexpensive solution for my passenger who will talk to me and who will talk to my mesh contacts. Should I buy the cheapest bluetooth set? Any model recommendations?

[@hognut58]

Have you made you followup test ride video??....I'd like to see the unit in action with a group of riders, I'm asking because I'm trying to decide between the 20s and 30k.

[@AdamSVT]

sorry.. winter here and I actually sold my bike... I'll be on two wheels really soon and spring is on the way! sorry..... Sena just came out with a new firmware update for the 30K that should be even more of an improvement... can't go wrong with the 20S though.. it all depends on what you are going to use it for.

[@ROKKIT44]

Great video! One question, can you switch out the disk speakers for headphones like the Q3? I love the functionality of the Sena and the 30K is even better. I didn’t buy it previous model though because it was so huge. Being that the 30K is the same size, I might still pass. I wish they could make it a little smaller. But that public mode... damn! Almost cool enough to ignore the fact you have a 80s brick cell phone on the side of your head. :)

[@UrGodIsDead]

There's some hacks/tutorials about for replacing the Sena speakers with ones that don't suck. I did this one for my SMH-10B: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4LTmHd5jt6Fmbs So you may have to dig around for 20S replacements (I assume it should work with the 30K since it's the same helmet mount).

[@AdamSVT]

the 20S and 30K have a headphone jack built in.. then you can put a rubber block off on the clamp to keep it weatherproof.. i run speakers but a few of my friends choose earbuds instead.

[@v2vortex]

Man that is some awesome shit!... Gotta save my pennies to get in on the conversation now!... :-) Ride safe.. and enjoy the ride...

[@AdamSVT]

thank you v2vortex! You too!

[@TheNoobComment]

I just got the dual yesterday and seriously...firmware couldn't updated. Couldn't detect devices..

[@AdamSVT]

contact Sena immediately for a repair or replacement

[@chrisgrant5478]

Used in mesh mode and it's totally unusable. Can't understand each other, very choppy. Had to switch to Bluetooth mode for it to work.

[@MrMaxodom1]

Sena already has a video on this.

[@AdamSVT]

but I did not.. and I wanted to learn it

[@themotofixery]

I thought they had a class action lawsuit for people having that mesh removed

[@sgtmarkins]

Seems the phone app would make things easier for my simple mind

[@ChrisNH2FL]

SgtMarkins it’s funny, I called SENA today to ask if there was an app that allowed you to control the 20S EVO, they said they are working on it. I asked if they had a headset that did have an app. Perhaps maybe the 30k(which I already knew they did) and they said, “no not yet.” Sounds to me like I got a new guy on the phone or maybe just a dumb one.

[@PanRider939]

Mesh Intercom is nothing new, it's what Cardo Packtalk released two years previous.

[@charlesodom6086]

Intercom fail try again later
