The best motorcycle Bluetooth units for 2025 are pushing the envelope when it comes to quality, capability, design and more. Our picks for this year put the best to the test; the ones on the podium are there for good reason.

What’s better than being able to bop down the road while listening to your favorite tunes, fielding the occasional phone call, receiving GPS prompts and chatting it up with your group? For our money, not much, so invest in the best motorcycle Bluetooth and Mesh units of 2025 to take your ride to the next level.

Meet the Sena 60S, the kingpin of Sena’s product line. With stunning Harmon-Kardon 40mm speakers, an IPX7 waterproof rating (because, hey, riding in the rain happens), and a super handy magnetic mount for quick installs and removals, this headset is all about convenience and quality. It’s also got the WAVE Intercom™ app, which connects you to a group like never before through a cellular network-based platform. If you want top-tier Bluetooth comms for 2025, this is your go-to.

The 50S may not have all the fancy bells and whistles of the 60S, but don’t let that fool you—it’s still a powerhouse for Bluetooth communication. Thanks to its Multi-Channel mesh network, you can stay connected with an army of riders within a 5-mile range, and the Group Mesh Intercom channel lets you create your own private group of up to 24 people. It’s straightforward and reliable, making it a fantastic choice for any rider.


Here’s one for the Shoei fans: the SRL-Mesh! While it’s designed specifically for Shoei Neotec II & 3, GT-Air II & 3, and J-Cruise II helmets, it’s a perfect match for these lids. Installation is a breeze, and with premium Harman/Kardon speakers, the sound quality is top-notch. Plus, the mesh and 4-way intercom options make it easy to connect with fellow riders. Simple, effective, and sleek!

Why mess with adding a Bluetooth headset when you can have one built right into your helmet? The Sena Phantom Smart Helmet does just that, seamlessly integrating advanced Bluetooth technology into a super comfortable and stylish helmet. Beyond mesh and Bluetooth, it features a front-facing flashlight and rear brake lights, merging safety with connectivity. It’s the all-in-one solution for tech-savvy riders who want to keep things clean and smart.

The Packtalk Edge is like the Swiss army knife of Bluetooth comms—small, sleek, and packed with features. Thanks to the Air Mount system, it’s super easy to snap the device into place, and it works with most helmet models. Add to that an IPX67 water and dust resistance rating, premium JBL speakers, and voice-activated commands, and you’ve got yourself a solid all-rounder with up to 13 hours of talk time. Can’t go wrong here!

If you’re eyeing the Packtalk Edge but want something a little easier on the wallet, meet the Packtalk Neo. While it lacks the magnetic mount, you still get everything you need, like JBL speakers, mesh and Bluetooth capabilities, and voice-activated commands. A great option if you want a solid comms system at a lower price point.
Not into mesh? No problem! The Freecom 4X keeps things simple with Bluetooth-only communication, so it doesn’t have the range of mesh tech, but it’s perfect for many riders. At a lower price, you still get cool features like voice commands, fast USB-C charging, and 40mm JBL speakers. It’s the sweet spot for riders who want reliable, high-quality comms without the extra bells and whistles.

The Cardo Spirit Headset is an ideal choice for riders looking for a low-cost, no-frills, Bluetooth Headset. With two channels for connecting to a phone and GPS unit, you’ll be able to listen to music and take calls while following your route. With the use of Bluetooth 5.2 and 35mm speakers, conversations with your passenger will be crisp and clear. Fast charging provides 2 hours of talk time after only a 20-minute charge, plus 10-day standby time, so it'll be ready when you are.


Frequently Asked Questions

Which one will work with my helmet?

Some helmets come with Bluetooth units already built-in. For those buying one as an aftermarket upgrade, there are lids made to accept certain types of communicators. Product listings should state which type is compatible with your helmet, but our Gear Geeks can also help you confirm fitment.

Which one is right for you?

This depends on your riding style, on-the-go needs and any buddies out there with you. Sena units play nice with other Sena headsets and vice versa for Cardo. Basic Bluetooth systems work in pairs, while a Mesh network will accommodate far more devices into a group chat. If you’re not worried about speaking with fellow riders — but are concerned with audio cues for directions or listening to music — these little devices can come in handy.

Are they safe to use while riding?

Is it safe to drown out the world around you with music and chit-chat? If you’ve ever done double-digit mileage down a highway where you'll hear nothing but wind anyway, we say “yes.” If you’d like to be part of your surroundings in congested slow-moving traffic then maybe turn down the volume until you’re out blasting away again.

How does it work?

In short, Bluetooth headsets utilize a network of dedicated radio waves to communicate with each other. Your unit can pair with a phone for GPS and music, while it will need to connect to other Bluetooth devices worn by fellow riders for conversation to commence. Dynamic mesh communication actively works to maintain the group connection even if other riders drop out.

How do I install one?

The Bluetooth unit is attached to a clamp you’ll mount on the side of the helmet. The speakers are generally installed within the shell where they won't interfere with padding and overall fitment. Modular helmet owners need to consider the rise and fall of the chin bar when fitting the microphone.

What is the range on headsets?

All Bluetooth and Mesh systems need to communicate with each other to keep the connection and signal strength up. The one-mile range that most deliver should be more than enough for a duo or even larger pack that’s riding together.
