Happy wife = happy rider
I got the Sena SMH5 for the wife after putting an SMH10 on my helmet last summer. The 2 communicators paired up easily and now she's happy on the back with music or if she want's to take a call, she can.
She has a full-faced helmet and the mic and speakers routed easily and are neatly out of the way. Battery life of the unit is good too.
Time for some longer rides!

Very nice product.
Product is just as advertised. Pretty easy to install (would probably depend on your model of helmet), VERY easy to connect to cellphone bluetooth.
I have seen some reviews that complain about lack of bass, and I think I would agree. Fortunately, my exhaust is stock and not very loud, so I am ok with the sound. Better than wind!
Overall, pleased and would purchase again.

On The Road Again
Definitely a must have product if you are on the road as much as I am! Functionality could use a bit o work, particularly the voice activation. But I love the availability & cost of replacement pieces, and as usually Revzilla totally takes the prize as far as price!
Don't hold back if you ride in teams, go on long trips or for business!

Easy to use
awesome product, very easy to install and set up with my phone. definitely had to upgrade the speakers, now it's perfect.

Product has great potential
Easy to use. Easy to install. Just wish it had a conference to intercom several people at one time.
March 18, 2013
Well worth it under a $100.00
Ordered this product and received it recently. Tested it out and the sound is loud and clear. No problems with calls, esp if your phone has strong reception. Install was a little challenging but worked out in the end. Installed the system on my arai RX-Q helmet and noise is minimum from the other end. All in all I am real pleased with product. Thanks REVZILLA again for another great product and video breakdown.

Good working bluetooth device
I really like the features of the smh5 for the price.one thing I do recommend though is the ungraded speaker kit, honestly a mist have. With the way the kit comes the factory speakers are way to high pitched and are t clear at highway speeds. This is made a lot better with the big upgraded speakers. Over all though really great for the price.
February 11, 2013
Well tested and passed all tests!
We took these headsets on our trip from NY to CA and back. They never faltered and were one of the best parts about the trip. Cruising through the mountains blasting music was GREAT. The only downside to these units is the speakers are a bit small and you can not use ear buds like the SMH10. For the price i would for sure buy these again.

Answer:
At this time communication systems will only inter-comm with other units from the same brand. There is no way to allow for cross compatibility between brands for the inter-comm features on these units. Sena units will inter-comm with Sena units, Cardo works with Cardo, Nolan with Nolan, etc.1 month ago

Answers
Answer:
For all the current inter-comm systems that we sell, they will only work with other communication devices within their own brand. Thus all Sena inter-comm units will only work with other Sena units. Cardo units will only work with Cardo or the Schuberth SRC units (which are made by Cardo). Interphone devices will only work with other Interphone inter-comm units, and U-Clear units will only work with other U-Clear units, Nolan with Nolan, Shark with Shark, etc. As of right now all inter-comm functionality is brand specific.3 months, 4 weeks ago

Answer:
There is currently no option to use the SMH5 with headphones. The SMH-10 does allow for headphones with the purchase of either the Sena SMH-10 Helmet Clamp Kit - For Earbuds or Sena SMH-10 Helmet Clamp Kit - Earbuds with Boom and Wired Microphone.

I hope this helps - the question you posted didn't list what product you were asking about.The Sena SMH5 did not come with a wired mic for full face helmets; instead, it came with a boom mic. I found while challenging, I was still able to route the boom mic around the padding and over by my mouth. The Sena website offers a full face helmet kit and also provides the wired mic seperately available for purchase.

Additional information about dduck could not be loaded.
I understand that the 5 can connect to the 10, but I read somewhere that the SMH5 is for the single rider. No where in the description did it say that it has the capability to connect to other Sena headsets (SMH10 or SMH5). I'm just wondering if this is a good buy. A few friends of mine and I considering purchasing, but its not worth the money if it only connects to one other headset or none at all.

Answer:
Per the Sena website forums, the main difference seems to be range. All of Sena's products will talk to each other, so you can mix SMH10's and 5's, with an SPH10 in a support car, for example. I don't know if the -5 is detachable from the helmet base like the 10 is, but that should be answered by the time the product ships.1 year, 4 months ago
Answer:
The SMH-10 has an auxiliary input, 3.5mm audio jack. The SMH-5 does not. There are more accessories available for the SMH-10, currently. The SMH-10 has better communication range and battery life. The SMH-5 is less expensive and utilizes Bluetooth 3.0, which could enable you to have more control over the latest electronic devices.Age: 25-34

It also appears that the wires are not part of the base as on the SMH10, but instead plug into the unit. Perhaps the unit doesn't detach from the helmet as on the SMH10.I have more questions about this unit (like is it compatible with an SMH10?). Hopefully, Revzilla will be producing an video about this product. Their vids really answer these questions well.

Answer:
The differences between the SMH-10 and the SMH 5 are mainly the version of Bluetooth (v2.0 for SMH10 and v3.0 for SMH5) That being said, software versions that are higher in number usually are more improved overall than earlier versions (i.e v2.0 vs v3.0) The other difference I see is the range for the SMH-5 is shorter than the SMH-10. So if you are using this to communicate with a friend on another bike, they cannot be as far away as with an SMH-10. All distances are usually calculated as line of sight (no obstructions like buildings or hills, etc.). I also see the price for the SMH-5 is very attractive! I have a pair of SMH-10's an enjoy them very much.Talk time is less 8 hrs vs 10 hrs(SMH-5 vs SMH-10) and standby time is less 7 days vs 10 days(SMH-5 vs SMH-10))Age: Over 65
