Appears waterproof
22 Mar 2026 by Steve R
This appears to be waterproof compared to the 59s
The cables are more concealed and there are ni brass contacts where moisture could gather

Fantastic headset kit, sound is awesome!
30 Jan 2026 by James
Had a couple of the older units and have always been really good, reliable and battery life was excellent. Bought this for my new adventure helmet and thoroughly impressed, the sound quality is amazing along with the equaliser control for tones and sound through the app is easy too. The new charging lead with WiFi to update the unit at the same is a faff to set up though, once done it’s all cooking with gas!!!!

Like for like replacement or so I thought
03 Sep 2025 by Michael D
Had to replace after four years because mesh button wouldn’t operate so no mesh available. Easy to set up but could not get mesh to join existing group at first. Google AI said to check mesh version as new version3 is not compatible with version 2. Thinking I had bought something I couldn’t use I paired the unit to the Sena utilities app & lo & behold, buried deep in there is a toggle to switch between v3 & v2 Now works a treat.
Sa these units don’t come with a hard copy user manual, things like the mesh issue are not instantly visible & nowhere in the quick start guide is there a reference to it. The only way you can see how to make adjustments is to pair your unit to your phone first to read the manual!!!!!
So, existing users who need to buy a replacement like I did, pair it to your phone first & read & understand the manual.

First premium intercom system and it didn’t disappoint. Easy to install although wires a little long for my liking but least it will fit most applications.
Connectivity and set up was a breeze and buttons on the device are easy even with gloves. Sound quality seems really good. Can easily have a conversation at motorway speeds and my helmet is not the best for wind noise.

Good product
04 Aug 2025 by Stephen
Good product but CARDO SC Edge Mesh is better. Performance is good although IMO the maximum volume level is too low for use with ear plugs.
Easy to fit but update process was a pain and I ended up updating via my PC rather than using the supplied cable.

Best in class
18 May 2025 by Lewis
I upgraded from the 20S Evo and it's like upgrading from a Fita 500 to a Ferrari. The new speakers are so much louder and clearer but the best thing about this is the lack of the massive unit that sits below the helmet.

Really clear & simple to use
08 May 2025 by Andrew
Great bit of kit, should have bought one ages ago! Really clear and simple to use, I've only used the Bluetooth connection with one other person which was amazing, even on a motorway. Planning to really put it to the test with a ride through France with a group of mates.

Great Headset!
16 Apr 2025 by Phil
Was relatively easy to fit in my MT Storm modular helmet although it took a few attempts to get the positioning right. The spaces in my helmet for speakers were way off, so I've had to mount them against the wall of the helmet.
Once the positioning was sorted the sound quality was brilliant, the speakers are very loud (I've not had them at full volume yet).
Connecting to my friends Cardo headset was straight forward and after a couple of minutes playing around we were out on the bikes riding.

Firstly Thank you to SBS for price matching this product. I have been looking for a while for an intercom but didn't want to pay the earth for it.
The unit does everything you need an intercom to do, the install was easy enough, just need a few ride outs to try all the functions.

So far so good…
10 Feb 2025 by Dave
I haven't used this yet but have set it up and it's slick and functional. I added it to a xwed 3 instead of the integrated option as this model (with an adaptor cable) allows me to choose between headphones and speakers. (Could use the supplied speakers but some cardo jobs that had a jack connector. For road use you can use headphones and trail use just the speakers. Win win.
SBS as always on your side with great product knowledge. Thanks team MK!

Mesh Redfined
Sena's proprietary Mesh Intercom™ delivers a robust level of reliable intercom connections and intelligent routing management to an adaptive and autonomous communication network. The innovative system of prompts and responses between Sena's Mesh headsets has resulted in a staggering increase of 80% more data being transferred across harsh and challenging conditions, providing superior intercom audio quality with a rock-solid connection. Additionally, information sharing between connected devices is happening in real-time at mind-boggling speeds, allowing Sena's Mesh technology to instantly assess the optimal path for delivering messages to all participants in the network.
One Unit, Four Intercom Modes
The 50R features four different intercom modes: Group Mesh Intercom, Multi-Channel Open Mesh Intercom, Wave Intercom and Bluetooth Intercom.
With Group Mesh, you'll create a single, private group that supports up to 24 participants over a range of up to 5 miles / 8 km (min 6 riders @ 1 mi / 1.6 km intervals)! Users are invited into Group Mesh, giving added control and privacy.
Multi-Channel Open Mesh lets you communicate with virtually anyone participating in the Mesh network within a range of up to 5 miles / 8 km. Open Mesh also features multi-channel options, an industry-first! With 6 channels available, you can switch to a new frequency for conversations with different riding groups within the larger Open Mesh group.
Wave Intercom is a revolutionary cellular-based group communication system with no limits, eliminating distance and device limitations. It leverages cellular connectivity, allowing you to communicate with fellow riders or groups, whether they're a few yards away or hundreds of miles apart. Should a member of the group lose their cellular connection, all intercoms will switch back to Mesh to keep the conversation alive. Friends Wave can also be used if riders want to keep their conversations private.
Wave Intercom supports unparalleled cross-brand compatibility. Whether you are using a motorcycle-specific Bluetooth headset or any other brand, connecting is effortless with the Wave Intercom app.
The traditional Bluetooth Intercom mode rounds out the fourth communication option included. All riders and their ever-changing riding scenarios will surely benefit from the incredible flexibility and technology engineered into the 50R Mesh and Bluetooth intercom modes.

Both the speakers and microphone were created with the audio experts at Harman Kardon to provide world-class sound for one of Sena's top communication devices. Expertly crafted speakers and an all-new microphone allow the 50R to provide an unmatched audio experience in your helmet. The speakers send crystal clear audio to riders' ears while the microphone, with a newly designed sensor, provides robust performance for voice communication while riding.
Mulit-Language Voice Command
Take control of the 50R without lifting a finger. Voice commands give you hands-free control of the 50R, operating select functions, including entering Open Mesh or answering a phone call. Simply say a command, and the 50R will act for you. The 50R supports multi-language voice commands, responding to eight different languages, including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and Russian. Also compatible with Google and Siri through your smartphone.
WiFi Adapter
50R power running low? With its new high-density battery and the technical improvements to the Quick Charging feature, the 50R will charge 30% faster than previous Quick Charge units! Plug it in for just 20 minutes, and you'll get 3.5 hours of Mesh Intercom™ or 6 hours of Bluetooth intercom operation. A full charge of the unit happens in just an hour and provides 8 hours of Mesh communication or 13 hours of Bluetooth intercom talk time.
