   Anybody using this set-up? RevZilla has what seems to be a decent price on it. Seems rather simple to use, in my estimation. Any feedback will be appreciated.

I use it.  The speakers that come with it are only ok.  I use headphones plugged into the auxillary jack and use the Bluetooth to connect to the music or navigation on my phone.  I could technically make/answer calls also, but who wants to do that?

I have the S10 for half helmets (comes with well-designed ear flaps which hold the speakers) and am a big fan. Great for music when I choose and also works very well for communication with the co-pilot. Contrary to Alien's assessment, I find the speakers of good quality and volume (perhaps they're different with the Half helmet version?)...but I do agree with him regarding making or taking phone calls while riding...definitely not for us.
Haven't had the chance to pair up with other riders yet with similar systems, but am looking forward to seeing how this feature works as well.

  Watching video on RevZilla web site. It shows pairing with Iphone. Anybody have issues pairing with Iphone 6 or 7?

 When I am on call for the week, I can't miss a call. That feature will help a lot.

I've found the pairing to be pretty simple with the 20S.

I have the SMH10-11:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0087NB088/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It supposedly got a bit better speakers and notice that the mic is detached from the base unit (so it can be easily replaced if there is the need).

My wife has the SMH10-10 and they both work great. The battery lasts forever and it is great to be able to speak to the passenger while riding.

What I never got to work (not sure if it is supported) was to have the cellphone audio coming to the speakers *while* paired with other Sena unit.

Basically I have to choose to either listen to music or talk to the other paired Sena.

In group rides it is really helpful to have the leader and the gunner (last one in the group) to be able to talk using the intercom.

The range is pretty good too, but may suffer in mountainous areas.

If you planning to buy 2 units, it may be more cost effective to buy a 10 + 5 unit (as they work fine together and the 5 is cheaper):

Echoing everybody else - Sena's (I have two 10's  - one for me and one for the wife) are great units. You should be able to mate it to both another headset and your phone at the same time.

   After more reading, I am wondering if the 10s is worth the extra $$ (about 60 bones)? FM radio does not matter at all for me. Better speakers is a big +. Lower profile on helmet is good. Different types(2) of mics (unpluggable) seems beneficial. Bummer losing port for ear buds though. If speakers are better, ear buds not an issue. Not really interested in more wires (ear buds) in the helmet.
