Bluetooth intercoms

[WarnieV6GT]

Hi, today was a good day as I passed my Mod 2 !!

Great feeling and I made the most of it this afternoon as soon as I got back by spending a good 3 hours on the road with the obligatory massive ear to ear grin.

Now after buying bike, gear, insurance and lessons money is now very tight, but I could do with a bluetooth intercom for taking calls etc and to talk to the guy I will be riding mostly with who has a sena smh10 system. Ideally I'd just buy the sena but at £170 I doubt very much that the wife will handle it after what I've spent so far.

So, can anyone recommend a cheaper system that will work with my friends sena smh10?

I have a Sena smh5 fm and it's brilliant. The FM means it can get radio too which works really well. I paid £105 from sports bike shop.

Just get the sena . Tell wife it’s none of her business. Job jobbed.

Just get the sena. I use one, it lasts all day and the quality is excellent plus you can connect to 4 or 6 on the newer ones

If you really want cheaper but to be able to connect a couple of my lot bought one on eBay for about £30 has a bunch of buttons on the side and a stubby aerial on it

You can connect that via universal pairing to a sena but only one to one. I'm told they are good for the money

IVe got a scala q3. Very good

If one of your top priorities is to connect to a Sena then, by far, the best approach is to get another Sena. You MAY get another, cheaper make to connect but I'll bet it'll be a right PITA and will never really be a reliable connection.

ETA - Congrats on the Mod 2!

Aldi do a headset for £19.99!

I just got a Textile jacket from there for my Daughters to use, amazing value and it even has a D30 back protector in it!

My friend and his dad use that setup, tyey seem pretty happy with them. They do the job. Aldi Manchester still have the jeans in the store for a tenner, OK possibly not the best quality but I'm they will also what is required to a point.

As above though I'm going to be looking for a half decent set. There's a lot of options out there and generally don't seem cheap. I'm looking for something that easy to use, small and good connectivity with potentially 5+ people. Is there stand out set for an average price?

Probably a daft question, but do people use Bluetooth intercoms with ear plugs?

Not daft.

Yes, I do. Can hear fine and have conversations/listen to music at high motorway speeds without issue

Cheers guys. Just a thought, I'm off to motorcycle live on Monday, are they're any deals on? Never been before

I've looked at the smh5 but you can only connect to one other rider I believe.
