Sena M1 / M1 EVO Bluetooth and Mesh Intercom Smart Communications Mountain Bike Helmets

So much better then wearing EarPods, works perfectly with your phone, good acoustics and still be aware of your surroundings…transforms your ride…phone integration great and buttons easy to access…

This helmet is great for communicating with other riders in your group. Sound is very clear and very little if any wind noise. You can adjust volume. You no longer have to turn around to yell at other riders in your group. Love it.

I purchase the M1 EVO as well as two R1 EVO Helmets for the purpose of communicating with my wife and daughter while biking. The helmets are fairly comfortable and the mesh system seems to work well enough. I will say that there have been a few instances where one helmet will randomly disconnect, but I am currently chalking that up to the fact that our local greenway has some serious canopy going on and maybe that is blocking comms.You can't listen to music and have the mesh system on at the same time (I knew that already just thought it was worth mentioning). the speakers aren't great so don't expect a delightful sonic experience while listening to music. but, overall, I am pleased with the purchase.

This helmet is quite comfortable, adjusts well and stays comfortable after a long ride.Like most people I imagine, I bought a pair of these for their communications capabilities, which I see as three main things.1: Phone. This works well enough as a phone headset, it would be better with some voice command features, for example to answer a call by voice command. Aside from that the audio quality is good, the speakers are tinny but adequate, the microphone is good and wind/noise rejection seems to be good enough in most cases. When there is a lot of environment noise it can be tough to hear the call and the other person hears a lot of noise.2: Music. As others have said, the speakers are super tinny, with close to zero low-end response. I still like this better than ear buds so I can hear what's going on around me but still get some music as a distraction. If you expect good sound quality for your tunes, you're not going to get it.3: Intercom. This is the killer feature. We just took a 4-hour ride with the intercom on the whole time, and it was nearly flawless. Twice the audio degraded to the broken-robot state when digital comms get out of sync, but a quick disconnect then connect fixed the problem. The sound quality was plenty good enough the entire time except for those two times the things got out of sync. We were on mostly flat open terrain and the range went out to about a quarter mile without issue, beyond that it seems like we were stretching the limits.Summary: After 4 hours the battery reported 80% so more than adequate battery life, audio quality good enough for phone and intercom, but sorta crappy for music. The intercom feature is awesome. Overall highly recommend as long as you can live with tinny music. I can't give 5 stars due to the tinny sound, I'd give 4.5 if Amazon allowed fractional stars.Two things I'd like to see improved: sound quality, and firmware update from the app rather than having to use a computer with a USB connection.

Best thing ever for riding bikes. They work really well and offer another level of safety while riding. They also make riding more fun with a partner because you can talk about the ride and sights along the way all while alerting each other about hazards or the need to slow down or stop. Highly recommend!!!

I met a couple who were using the R1 Evo on their electric bikes and told me they were life changing. I watched some YouTube video reviews and read up about the M1 evo on the company website and decided this was the way to go. After reading the negative reviews on here I was hesitant but decided to spring for them. One of the complaints was that the FM radio was missing. Yes this is correct, no radio but no where on here or the company website does it say the helmet has this feature. The second complaint was about updating the firmware. As soon as I installed the android app I was prompted to update the firmware via a computer. I connected the helmet up one at a time, read the instructions for updating, and within 10 minutes had both updated to the latest software. Super simple!Now for the important stuff. I'm an avid cyclist who enjoys everything from long haul tours to quick rips on the local MTB trails. Between my wife and I we have 8 bikes in the garage (2 adventure touring, 2 MTB, 2 e-bike touring, 2 fat bike e-MTB). We ride together frequently and often find ourselves unsuccessfully trying to communicate through difficult situations on the trails or busy streets as she is not as experienced or confident yet. This has at times created tense and potentially dangerous situations where we are out of sync with each other while making split second decisions.Our first test ride of the helmets was a quick 30 mile e-bike ride through mixed bike path, road and trail. The intercom far exceeded our expectations. Voice detection was clear super accurate. Even when coasting down a large hill at 30+ mph I could hear my wife loud and clear. We knew after just a few miles of riding these were going to be a game changer.Our destination was a local vineyard and I was easily able to communicate 150+ yards from my wife who was waiting with the bikes while I went in and ordered a couple glasses of wine. Battery life was still high upon our return and I don't see it ever becoming an issue.The increased safety and confidence created by having such a clear line of communication at all times is indeed life changing. It truly helps unify and clarify decisions about potentially hazardous situations while riding.Some words of wisdom:1. Watch some YouTube reviews if you aren't convinced yet.2. Learn the button shortcut commands. There is a cheat sheet inside the phone app.3. Turn the helmet and mesh intercom on before getting on your bike.4. Use Siri / Hey Google voice commands.5. You can have GPS directions running simultaneously while also communicating and it works brilliantly.6. The back helmet strap ratchets down to allow for a ponytail to pass through.7. Be prepared to hear your partners comments on every cute dog they pedal by.

Un producto increible, la calidad de las salidas en bici ha dado un salto de gigante, ya no podemos salir sin ellos. Los bajos de los altavoces son mejorables por eso, para mejor calidad de escucha, sobretodo con musica. Pero son los unicos en el mercado y no hay nada que se le parezca ya que el Lival que tenía antes no se le puede comparar a la tecnologia y experiencia de usuario de Sena.

For me and my wife this was a game changer. I purchased the M1 for myself and the R1 for my wife. They both work great and it’s a game changer being able to communicate easily while riding. I also enjoy the music while riding solo and although not very loud it’s certainly loud enough so I can hear what’s going on around me. Love this product

Lo consiglio vivamente, è fantastico e fa esattamente quanto descritto.

Tutto bene!

Der Helm ist trotz der Elektronik recht leicht und hat einen gute Passform. Das Intercom funktioniert einwandfrei, klar und deutlich.Erst Installation ist ein wenig fummelig, aber nicht schwierig. Mit dem Handy sich zu koppeln funktioniert ohne Probleme und ist bei jedem Nutzen wieder direkt verbunden. Die Reichweite von den Helmen ist gut, ich denke so ca. 300m und etwas mehr.Einstellen lässt er sich gut, so daß man einen angenehmen Sitz bekommt. Eine eingebaute LED ist tagsüber und erst recht nachts super hilfreich, so das man gut gesehen wird. Der Akku hält super, sind jetzt ca. 160km in Teilstücke gefahren und der ist noch nicht leer.
