My unit arrived yesterday and I installed it last night. It took a few tries to route the various cables to get everything tidy and clean. I have a Shoei Qwest helmet and the seams where the hard foam and the shell meet up are very tight. I needed to use a credit card to carefully wedge the cables into the tight spots. About an hour. I mounted the battery on the outside in the back of the helmet (sorry, no pics yet).
Once Motogiro gets his unit up and running we'll test the intercom features.
I have one of these and I mounted the battery on the inside of the helmet behind the padding. I can't even notice it's there.
TYPICAL!!!
Guy gets a new toy, installs it, brags about it online, then goes out to play with it and we never hear about it again.:spank:
I'm interested in one of these so I can hear when my phone is ringing, and for the intercom - now that my wife is spending some time riding passenger.
Is the intercom voice activated or do you have to hit a button?
Did you find that it works well in a group?
In general, how well does the three button user interface work?
Envious,

I have the smh10.
I have the smh10. Although it's bigger I don't notice it on my helmet even at speed. It doesn't create any noticeable drag, wind noise, or weight on the side it's mounted on. Is easy to use and great when riding with someone else who has one. As mentioned also good for listening to music/audio books!
Voice quality is great on the other persons end and the speakers are loud enough (I wear earplugs too)
Do you use the SMH10 with a full-face helmet? I've read that one of the advantages / differences of the ''r" - for full-face helmets is that it uses the thin wired mic rather than the boom version. I've wondered how the boom would work.
I think the SMH10 is also a great unit. Before I had the SMH10R I had a Chatterbox X1 bluetooth with intercom and GMRS radio That unit, although lightweight to me, was like having a breadbox attached to my helmet. It worked but the SMH10R was much better in respect to phone calls. Like Goop, my outgoing audio is so good my wife hardly knows I'm doing 80 MPH. Great noise reduction software! The headphone audio on the Chatterbox had better frequency response for listening to music but I wear earplugs because of wind noise. I don't like listening to part of the music and don't listen to music that is obscured. That means I don't listen to music while riding.
I think any Sena product is going to be a win. SMH5, SMH10 and SMH10R. The SMH10R comes with boom type mic. and a velcro (inside the helmet mic.)
