Sena SMH10 Motorcycle Bluetooth Headset & Intercom

Product Information

The 10S can connect with three other 10S users (for a total of 4 in the group) and it also has the Sena “Universal Intercom” functionality, allowing it to connect with three other brands of Bluetooth intercoms (for a total of 4 in the group) using the Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile. The only resolution to that problem is to stop, pull over, remove the helmet and replace the earpiece. Usually, I would make do without until a natural stop occurred. The opportunity was not to be ignored, so what follows is an expansion of the initial webBikeWorld posting with findings, thoughts and impressions in working through this major firmware release from Sena for the SMH10 systems. Sena SMH10 Manager Software For some older mobile phones which do not automatically transfer calls to the headset, press the Phone Button after entering phone numbers on the mobile phone keypad. I’ll try the device on my BMW K 1600 in the morning or later tonight if I can. This review is brief for obvious reasons.”

From “M.H.” (May 2016): “Longtime Sena user here. Had a pair of the very first SMH10’s (non USB), then upgraded to the USB version. Still have them, and they continue operate pretty good, even after 2 battery changes. Once the device connected to the SR10 has ceased passing audio, the SMH10 restarts the media from the smartphone. This in my opinion is perfect! I have no complaints whatsoever now. Connections are made extremely fast and audio switching is virtually seamless.To transfer a call between the mobile phone and the headset during the phone conversation, press the Phone Button for 2 seconds until you hear a beep. I had logged in to update my SMH10B and had trouble getting the software to upload to the unit, I ended up getting an error message saying that my unit (the SMH10B was not recognized) and I could go no further. The 10S is very easy to use and you won’t have to keep a cheat sheet like you do for the SMH10R, 10U and others. The volume seems more than adequate and can be set very loud, although as always, once you get cranking on a bike at speed, you’re not going to get concert hall sound by any means.

From “P.W.” (December 2011):“I have tried a few different brands. In the end it was the Sena that stood out. With these zumo settings, Sena audio is typically set to 50 percent by the Jog Dial as a satisfactory level at most road speeds and under most riding conditions. From “P.S.” (April 2012):“I see you’ve received reports of “issues” with the Sena SMH10 firmware 4.0 updater. I’m not sure what to make of those reports since I just successfully updated from 3.3 to 4.0 without any drama whatsoever. It only took a couple of minutes. Turn off the SMH10 by simultaneously pressing the Jog Dial and intercom button and it instantly shuts down, so the user does not have to press, hold and wait to make sure the unit is off, as is the case with other intercoms we’ve used. This can be confusing to new owners, who tend to release the button as soon as a beep or announcement is heard.

Introduction to Sena Technologies

I asked Sena about the water resistance of the 10S and they said it is similar to the SMH10 or the 20S. The zumo 550 is just a bit different – its audio is fine, but output is lower and for testing, I probably used it at aro Version 3.0.0 of the Sena SMH10 User’s Guide reflects the same general care and attention put into the V4 release. Big sections of the manual have been rewritten and layouts modified to provide a very comprehensive and very useful reference publication that is still small enough to carry with you. The tables, diagrams and case studies are by themselves descriptive enough to let most users navigate through the SMH10 successfully. Sena SMH10 Version 4 Firmware Update Volume Decrease Issue
