I am very impressed by this comms unit. I have used Cardo PackTalkup until recently which I was very happy with and have only changed because my partner uses Sena and she rides with a group who all use Sena, so it made sense for me to get Sena as well. Installation was easy once a firmware update had been carried out by Bluetooth from the Sena phone app.
The design is well thought out, little aeriel pops up to increase the mesh range, switching on/off is virtually instant with immediate connection to a phone.
Speakers are good (not quite up to the JBLs with the Cardo). Overall comms are crisp & clear, the mic is better and clearer than cardo. Volume level is really good (even wearing Loop earplugs), controls are easy to access with gloved hands, the electrical connection to the unit is very secure and USB charging socket very accessible.
Overall I would rate Sena above Cardo, the only question mark is over waterproofing/water ingress, which I haven't been able to test yet.
Great service from Sportsbikeshop as usual.

This is a quality Sena mesh intercom. Easy to set up and audio is clear. It also has long battery life and short charge time. Well worth the money. John Forrester

The Sena unit is exactly what I expected it to be. The delivery service wasn’t. Despite cheaping out and taking the free 3-5 days option it arrived next day anyway. Very pleased.

Comm unit is quality and tactile even with gloves on. Easy enough to fit but the speakers are 40mm so a bit bigger than some pockets in helmets so worth checking your lid first. Volume seems good but need to check on a longer ride.

First of all let's talk about the retailer. Amazing speed of delivery, well packaged, great communication and competitive prices makes you choose sportsbikes as your number one retailer for many biking items! Then the product purchased, easy to setup, aesthetically pleasing and does not remove anything from fashionable branded helmets, allows safer riding by connecting to multiple users, use it to warn of onstreet hazards or obstacles in road or use it to just catch up about the views on yoir travels! Or while not have the gentle sound of your favourite Spotify list innthe background while taking that relaxing ride out! Great choice of mounting options in the box assures fits all style helmets

The sound quality is very good and I'm now a fan of listening to music when riding. I have also 'meshed' it for a ride with others and this was easy to do and worked fine. Battery life seems good too.

It took about an hour to fit to my Nolan helmet; this was helped by watching YouTube for guidance.

Some helmet designs (Nolan) mean you have to use the supplied sticky pad mounting whereas I would have preferred the clip mount but so far, so good.

The speakers are good quality but depending on available space in your helmet may cause some pressure on your ears. A bit of trial and error needed to get their position right.

Overall, I'm pleased and the unit works well. As ever, excellent service from Sportsbikeshop.

Brought for my son.
Speakers are louder than expected so enjoys listening to music and satnav while riding.
Receiving calls is easy and sound quality fantastic .
Can’t figure out how to speak to the device to initiate calls yet but I’m sure we will.
Found it easy to fit and not too cumbersome.
Very happy! Well done Sena

When using Group Mesh, users create a private group that supports up to 24 riders 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, for added control and privacy.

Premium HD Speakers
Superior audio performance as well as physical comfort can both be found in Sena's premium HD Speakers, which are included. The HD Speakers were designed with a low-profile and tapered bevel to reduce the possibility of ear-to-edge chafe, and fit into existing helmet speaker pockets. The HD speakers deliver crisp communication sound quality, with a marked increase in volume, bass boost, and clarity.

Smartphone Pairing & Audio Multitasking
Bluetooth 5.1 allows you to pair your smartphone to the ST1 in order to stream music, hear turn-by-turn GPS directions and take or make phone calls. The Spider ST1 is equipped with Sena's Audio Multitasking™ technology so you can have a conversation via Mesh Intercom™ while simultaneously operating your smartphone's Bluetooth features like music, GPS, or phone calls.

Sena App
The new Sena Motorcycles App gives users a way to visually configure your device settings. Download from the App Store or Google Play store in order to customize a variety of settings and features, including the ability to remotely manage channel settings for Open Mesh, or even setting a private group for Group Mesh.
