Sena SMH10 Motorcycle Bluetooth Headset & Intercom

Product Information

I then paired the SR10 to my SHM10, and paired a DROID X smartphone to the SMH10. I then paired my wife’s SMH10 (v4) to my SMH10 for intercom. Start an intercom conversation with one of the two friends in your intercom group. For example, you (A) may start an intercom conversation with the intercom friend (B). Or intercom friend (B) may start an intercom call with you (A).

When you are a member of an active three-way conference intercom, you can completely terminate the conference intercom or just disconnect an intercom connection with one of your active intercom friends.If you’re just getting into the Bluetooth motorcycle intercom scene, the 10S is the way to go. In fact, we’d even recommend it over our other all-time favorite, the Sena SMH5 (review). Each menu item is identified by a voice announcement (prompt) and enabling a feature or executing any command is done by tapping the Phone button; disabling a feature is done by tapping the Jog Dial. The user has ten seconds in which to make a setting choice, with the system reverting to standby after that time if there is no input. 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

The new participant in the conference is added by “D” making an intercom call to “C”. Once accepted, “D” now becomes the fourth member of the conference. The limitation here is that “D” can only link in via “C” for conferencing. I’ve got one, and I’ve been able to update it a few times since then with their installer app. It can be a bit of a pain since it can interfere with Bluetooth keyboards/mice.With version 4.0, an additional configuration now allows a fourth to join a conference, albeit in a manner that still respects the pairing fundamental. Four SMH10 systems can be paired by separate pairings and accessed via 1, 2 or 3 taps of the Jog Dial for discrete one-on-one sessions. Earlier firmware versions also provided a true three-way intercom conferencing by allowing two simultaneous intercom connections. The 4.0 firmware update for the Sena SMH10 will provide major new enhancements to the system, including: 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

Press the Jog Dial for 1 second until you hear a beep to terminate three-way conference intercom completely. It terminates both intercom connections with (B) and (C). I go through the steps two more times (once disconnecting and once leaving it connected) but each time i get the orange corrupted message. I even tried to reinstall the latest V4.0. and no dice. I used the self-adhesive strip supplied and it does not feel as though it will ever come off. Bluetooth pairing with my phone, a Nokia 5800, was simple.I would recommend this headset to anyone who wants to listen to music and/or satnav. One thing I will say is “don’t be afraid to listen to music on the move”. Multiple Pairing: Up to four SMH10 units can be paired but do not allow four person, full duplex communications. Once the rider and passenger systems are paired, the rider can also be paired with two others, then the passenger can also pair with two others. So it might go something like this: Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, intercom volume can only go so loud and each rider’s definition of “loud enough” is different.

This is a feature that is going to prove (very) useful to many users, particularly with certain peripherals (like the iPhone 4S) that insists on capturing and holding all functional profiles whether in use or not. The other can’t-miss feature is what I call the “Big Wheel” and what Sena calls the “Jog Dial”. The Jog Dial controls the intercom functions. The Jog Dial also rotates to — get this — raise and lower the volume! On the road test revealed that Sena has made some very good improvements in noise reduction. Not sure if the improvements were in the mic, or the device itself. Nevertheless, a very nice improvement over the SMH10. I will also encourage anyone within my sphere of influence looking to buy a system to get one form Sena. I will update you all when the new unit arrives.”HD Audio includes Advanced Noise Control, an SBC Codec, wide volume control and sample rate of 48 kHz (DAC) maximum. With the voice prompt support now installed as part of the version 4 firmware update, working through the more complex V4 configuration menu is pretty simple. Like the 10U, the 10S kit doesn’t come with a wall charger, so you’ll have to use the USB cable attached to either a live USB port or one of your USB device chargers. I had a Sena SMH5 (review) that worked great, but then bit the dust after a month. Decided to return unit to RevZilla and get the (SMH)10. Great unit and I am assured that while some units fail of all manufacturers, this was an anomaly. As same in the case of three-way intercom, you can completely get out of the four-way conference intercom or just disconnect a single intercom connection.
