 Just got an e mail from Sena that they have 20s head sets that
Are refurbished and have a 2 year warranty for 179.
 Seemed like a cool deal and thought I would. Pass it on.
Think if you go to their web site you can find them..

When Trish started riding her Trike we switched to Sena Bluetooth 20s units and they work great for intercom up to about a half a mile.  We usually get 10-12 hours out of a charge.  That looks like a good deal.  We paid $249 each for ours.  Now trying to figure out how to use these with the Sena Freewire has been more challenging.

Love my Sena 20s, only real complaint is that the battery is non-replaceable. When it fails you have to replace the entire unit.

I managed to squeak mine in on a warranty replacement, and Sena did eventually replace the unit, but they dragged their feet on it for quite some time before making good on it.

(I've read there are some ways you CAN replace the battery, but it's not a simple procedure.)

Batteries are replaceable...
I replaced the batteries in my Sena SMH10's with a slightly larger battery off of Ebay after finding how on YT. The tec rep I called from Sena after they died just after the warranty ran out actually gave me the link! Longer lasting, and was easy to do. The originals last just before or just after the warranty runs out on all Senas it seems, but at least now they're not just a disposable item with these other batteries available.

I'm beginning to notice shorter life on my 20S. I've located replacement batteries and will be making the change before Taos.....

I see Sena has a camera/intercom unit, the 10C Pro. Unfortunately it looks like the camera falls short of expectations.....someday...... cooldude cooldude

Thanks for that link, good to know there is a way, although my skills with tiny fiddly bits and soldering itty bitty wires aren't the greatest, good to know there is an option for when the current batteries fail.
