Great cost effective communications option!
The Sena SMH5 is a terrific and cost effective solution for Bluetooth communications. Setup of the system on my Icon Airframe helmet took about 1/2 hour and I was able to easily hide the speaker and microphone wiring. I suggest using the "stickyback" mount on the helmet instead of the clamp type mount as I think the final fit and finish comes out a bit cleaner but this is just my preference. I was able to pair my iPhone to the headset with ease but have yet to test the communications ability of the set. As most of the other reviewers have stated the speakers that are shipped with the set are a little weak especially for music but they can be upgraded to the better ones for pretty cheap. All in all if you are looking to save a few bucks and want a good communicator for music / phone pairing and 2 way communications look no further than the Sena SMH5!

Still early but I'm really impressed so far
Reviewing items through revzilla is very helpful. Ordering and delivery was a breeze. I received my SMH5's within 4 days. Installation is very intuitive and the second installation went very quickly as the quick start guide is helpful enough to give you an idea.
The sound as others have stated is geared towards speech so music is mostly treble. In testing it out the day after I got it, others could not tell I was on my bike and heard NO wind or engine noise.
Paring was a breeze, individual volume for different functions is nice and the ability to par 4 units at once is cool, just no 4 person conferencing.
So far, ease of use, installation and Anthony says, bang for the buck on this unit has me very happy with it. IF that changes, I'll come back and update but so far, so good.

I solid product!
This is a well built, carefully engineered product that simply works and is easy to use. I had no problems getting it them to connect via bluetooth to both a Samsung and an LG smart phone. The the ability to control the volume is a simply turn of the wheel and switching back and forth between intercom and phone is as simple as pushing the jog dial, which is also a button. Answering the phone is also a simple matter of pushing one button. The caller said my voice was clear with both my visor open at low speeds and visor down at higher speeds. I heard the caller clearly as well.
The cons I have with these units is a lack of adapter which would allow the use of in ear headphones. It would be a rather simple thing to make, simply y-splitting the connector and offering a 1/8" stereo jack to feed headphones. The other complaint I have is that playback of music is a bit buggy, even with the phone 2' away in my pocket. Music cuts out once in a while, but quickly resumes. Also, once in a while a song prematurely skips to the next song before finishing. I'm using an Android app called Power Amp for play back and it may be caused by this. I'll try it with the default music player on the phone. I refuse to give away all my rights to privacy so I can't comment on any sort of voice command usage with the units.
I do experience slight distortion when the volume is all the way up when listening to music. These days I ride with foam earplugs in and the volume is loud enough, two notches from the top level, to be able to hear music softly and my riding partner barely, but it is workable. I'll most likely fabricate my own 1/8" female jack connector for these for use with molded ear speakers since I'm handy with a soldering iron.
The range is not much more than 40ft or so, so if you plan on using them bike to bike, you had better upgrade to the SMH10.
All in all, an excellent choice and very usable. They are considerably louder and of higher quality than the cheapo Nady hardwired units I tried first.
Good luck and be safe, there is enough distraction on the road without having to control electronic gadgets.

Budget Intercom at a budget price
I am fairly happy with this intercom system. I wasn't ready to shell out the money for the SMH10, so I got this one.
Install was faily straight forward. The hardest part was figuring out how to remove the checkpads on my Arai helmet.
The bluetooth connectivity with my phone is great and very easy to set up. When turning the unit on it automatically connects to the phone. When listening to music, the sound quality is ok.
When using it as an intercom with the other unit, it works ok. When trying to transmit, I sometimes get "intercom failed" and sometimes it works fine. I can't figure out why. Sound quality is also ok. Even when using a full face helmet and the mic muff a fair amount of windnoise comes though the speakers.
I recommend this as an entry level intercom system for someone who is budget concious.

Rediculous ease of use
It's hard to add to the glowing reviews for this product. What stands out, for me, is how easy it is to get the units set up and running. I've tried other units (Scala, uClear) but, with only two inputs, the Sena is easy to use with gloved hands.
The key for good sound is getting the speakers in the right place. I use the BBE app on my iPhone to play music and it sounds pretty good with plenty of volume.

Love it!
Bought the dual pack. Installed one and it worked until I plugged it in to charge, then that one wouldn't turn on. I put in a ticket with Sena and called Revzilla the next day. The guy at Revzilla said I'd have to wait until I checked with Sena, but he couldn't have been nicer.
Turned out I just needed to use a paperclip on the reset button and it now works.
I'm commuting 40 miles round trip on my scooter to work now and it was a joy listening to music.
Once I got the second unit working I installed it on a friends helmet and it took a few minutes for them to link up, but it was sorted.
I haven't used the communication yet on the road, so I'll post again once I have.
The speakers fit perfectly in my HJC Symax 3, and weren't an issue in my friends HJC CL Max.
I ordered the upgraded speakers, but I'm sending them back because even at low levels doing 60 on my Vespa the sound was fine. I don't want it to be too loud for safety issues.
Love the Sena and love Revzilla!

A great, inexpensive way to get into Bluetooth communication.
I picked these up as an inexpensive way to communicate with my wife when she rides on the back of my bike. Yelling through our helmets at red lights or jabs to the ribs for "speeding" are free, they aren't the best way to converse while riding two-up.
The SENA SMH5 audio works well, however we did get the upgraded speaker kit. Speaker placement is key! For the best audio, try to place them right over your ear canal. The audio streaming, GPS and phone call audio is much better than I expected.
Recently we did a 1000 mile, two day trip and having these made a huge difference.

Great product
Was considering the smh10. Very glad i stumbled on this unit. Smaller size, lower price, and still excellent sound quality. I tired a model 10 that a friend had first. This unit is much less obtrusive. Don't even know it is there. Have listened to music, taken and made phone calls, and used intercom both passenger and bike to bike. All very easy to use and worked flawlessly.
Highly recommend.

Answer:
The standard SMH5 will not work on an open face helmet, unless it's a 3/4. If you have a 1/2 helmet, your options are the Sena SPH10H Bluetooth Intercom For Half Helmets or Sena SPH10H-FM Bluetooth Intercom With FM Tuner For Half Helmets.

I would say no since the boom mic is fairly short and only has a velcro mount. You might be able to buy a longer boom, but I don't know. The SMH10 boom is designed for this is and much longer and hard mounted to the unit.Age: 45-54

If you have the boom mic, the SMH5 s/b fine w/ an open-face (3/4) helmet. I don't believe it would work well with a half helmet.As an aside, I would recommend a full-face helmet for safety considerations.

If my passenger and I are paired with seperate devices listening to seprate music can we still communicate with each other over bluetooth intercomm? If not is this something that is offered on the smh10? Listening to seperate music is not a big deal as we differ in tastes anyways.

Answers
Answer:
Both the Sena SMH5 Bluetooth and the Sena SMH10 Bluetooth can pair with separate music devices and still have a communication channel between another headset. Of course, you would need to switch to the communication channel when you feel like talking, so the music does not drown out the person speaking, but this is done by simply hitting a button or speaking loudly into the mic. This way, you and your passenger have the option to talk, as well as enjoy your own individual tastes in music. We wonder who will be rocking to metal while the other listens to a serenading ballad.2 months ago

The SMH5 is a great option for the Schuberth C3. Because the boom microphone is detached from the helmet clamp portion of the SMH5, the microphone does not interfere with the slider for the internal sun visor.2 months, 2 weeks ago

Does the intercom work with SMH-10

I have a couple Sena SMH-10 headsets, does the intercom function work with the SMH-10 as well? Or only with the SMH5?

Answers
Answer:
Currently Sena products will inter-comm with other Sena products, but not Cardo products or Interphone (or any other brand for that matter). The same is true for the other Bluetooth systems that offer an Inter-comm feature, they are all brand specific and will not function with inter-comm devices from another brand.On a related note, anytime you connect two different units from the same brand, the inter-comm range will decrease to that of the lower end device. For Sena specifically, when the SMH-5 is paired with an SMH-10, the range of the SMH-10 (900 meters or 980 yards in open terrain) will be decreased to that of the SMH-5 (400 meters or 437 yards in open terrain).

Answer:
Yes; The Sena SMH5 is compatible with the SMH10, although you will probably find yourself limited to the range of the SMH5.2 months, 4 weeks ago

You don't need to use a cell phone to use the two way comm. feature. IMO though the iPhone is perfect, as I have access to my iTunes and can use the SMH 5 to skip songs and replay them etc... The music automatically fades out when a call comes in either from two way or the phone then automatically kicks in after a few seconds when your conversation is done. Hope this helps!Age: 35-44
