Relatively easy to install and set up. Easy to use, I’ve connected it to my Chigee headset, and iPhone. I can listen to music and get directions. Phone calls are easy and clear. The sound quality is good but for music not a Bose system.

Great bit of starter kit

Great little bit of kit as an entry level headset and intercom. Bought two of these to use on a bike trip around Wales. Range and audio quality is great for the price point. Would definitely recommend.

Intercom doesn’t go as loud as music, and music max volume isn’t that loud above 50mph, but still decent.

Exceptional value.

Very impressed with the Sena SMH5. Bought it to play music and sat nav instructions. I wear ear plugs while riding and found the sound quality and volume very good. Haven't tried linking it to another user, so can't comment on the communication side of it.

Easy to fit in my Shark Oxo. Replaced a previous more expensive senna kit when the recharging port broke. This seems better made and has USB C charge point which is much better. Also better quality speakers than before. Thanks Sportsbikeshop!

Easy to install, placement of speakers makes a large difference to the volume. It is worth adjusting them to suit you ears.
I like that it plays music when you're not communicating with another rider and also allows Siri control on an Apple mobile.

Easy to operate, sound quality is acceptable at slow speed and highway speed (fitted to my SMK open face jet style helmet)
The unit is however quite bulky on the side of the helmet

Other than very easy to install and a robust enough unit. Bought this to enable connectivity for pillion to Cardo Pack talk edge as quick cost effective solution. Used the universal Bluetooth function. Connected easily, clear and simple...Given the low price and the functionality I was after..good purchase and as always quickly dispatched.

Good product. Easy to fit and works well with pillion or riding closely with someone. Works well with music or sat nav. Sound is good. Battery life is long, even on an older one a few years in. Economical, and see no point spending more.

Product is great, but the SBS service was better

The intercom itself, is crisp and clear. It does drop out on the odd occasion and is difficult to reconnect. But for the job, it does the job. The kart was 500m and there was no drop in connection, despite the distance. Updating the firmware is a little fiddly but having Googled, this is more related to Senas software and their customer service isn't the best - especially for a 12 year old headset. If you are looking to purchase this, for a cheap and cheerful product, I recommend the SMH 5, but ensure you have the latest model which is the USB C and not the Micro USB connection for better stability. The ruggedness of the headset will last. The music via MP3, is very, very clear and haven't experienced any drop outs yet.

I purchased the intercom for go karting, I am a complete novice with helmets, intercoms and the likes and the lady behind the counter went through a number of options, recommendations and pros/cons. Even to the point of instead of buying a dual box, to buy them singular as I will save £15. Doesn't sound much but for a first time buyer, my experience of Sportsbikeshop has been brilliant. They even fitted the intercom for me later that day and made me a coffee while I wait.

5 stars for SBS, but 4 for the product, due to the intermittent drop offs on 2 way intercom.

I’ve had one of these for 12 years and is still going strong the only reason I bought as new one is I changed my helmet and as I was so pleased I purchased a new one. Value 10/10 easy to fit 10/10 reliability 10/10 and so on. Thank you SENA.

This was about the cheapest in helmet comms I could find! We already have one of these on the wifes helmet and it works really well, especially for the price.
I can only comment on the fact that it pairs well with my other SENA SRL10 and you can hear music or podcasts very well. It is basic but it comes with 3m stick on pads or a grip clip type attachment and it does exactly what I want. It even fits my flip up Neotec

Questions and Answers

Questions and Answers

  • Can both headsets make independent phone calls

    February 13, 2026

    Yes, both Sena SMH5 headsets can make independent phone calls because each headset connects individually to its own smartphone via Bluetooth.

  • Does this come with two intercoms or just one? Thank you

    February 24, 2023

    This is a dual pack, and so will come complete with two full kits.
