But you can't charge the SRL 3 on the fly...to me that is a major disadvantage with any headset. I have ridden quite a few 12 hours days on my road trips where you have to plug in your headset to a small power pack in your pocket while on the fly to keep using it.
I use the Sena because of you. I recently upgraded to the 50s and I am looking forward to moving to the 60s when it is available. The only thing is getting others to spend the money on the upgrade to be able to communicate with them using the VOIP on the 60s. Sometimes riding we have the trouble with distance! I enjoy your channel and your podcast as well- keep up the great work!
what is the difference between the waze (or wave) mode and the ride connected app that also used the cell phone for communication? sounds like the same. Also the with 60 magnetic mount also be able to connect up the 50, 30 and 20s as well. to the same mount. I use both 50 and 20 s on my "ONE" mount currently.
I can't wait for the new Impulse as well. I planned on buying the current one, but I think I will wait as long as the new one comes out in the next few months, hopefully.
Making this new 60S waterproof is a hugh upgrade for Sena. I've used my 20S Evo since 2018 and I've ridden a few thousand miles in the rain since then...for the most part my S20 Evo has held up in the rain pretty good, but with my 2023 road trip, I rode in the rain at some point in the day with the last 5 days of my road trip...anyways when I got home my 20S Evo started acting strange..like some water was inside hitting some of the electronics...I had problems with the volume control and then the unit started to just stop playing the music and go blank while riding...rebooting the unit would get it working again but the problem continued here and there for quite a bit...then it went back to working again perfectly...but anyways making this new Sena 60S waterproof is long over due.
@@mikejacks1939 they use to exclusively partner with Sena up until the 2024 models (2023 CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide) and the new Skyline OS infotainment system. So that was accurate up to the 2024 model year. They offer a Harley Branded Sena and Cardo now. Not sure going forward if they will continue to support both.
The wave feature while interesting can be done with any bluetooth headset. If you have a group discord hop into a voice chat and you have a way to connect any brand headset. I like to use it when we are meeting at a place. For example, I was meeting a group at breakfast. I hopped on the group chat before I left, as I was getting closer another member hopped on and asked where I was. The waterproof rating is something Sena has needed for a long time. While you may not have had any issues there are plenty of people on forums and with RUclips Channels who has. When they complain Cardo swoops in gives them free gear and creates a marketing machine.
My sena 20S was okay but sound was bland. Connection was unpredictable. Now I have the cardo neo and the edge and I am never turning back. They have been exceptional BT connection and jbl speakers are good. Now can connect to my insta360 cameras for audio overlay to video recording...dope
I only want to use a device to communicate with my own 2021 Goldwing. I want CarPlay and don’t need to talk to anyone unless it is over the cell phone. Which communicator do I need to purchase?
anything changed on the bluethooth connectivity issue we have ? I have to turn off and on my headset a few times till I get a good connection to the bike.
So, I have a couple of questions and perhaps you can cover them on any follow-up videos you post regarding the SENA 60S. My club for the most part uses SENA 30K's or 50S's for our group rides. So this is exciting news that a new generation SENA is going to be rolled out soon. 1. What will the price point be? 2. Will there be an option to by a dual pack? 3. Since this device requires your cell phone signal to utilize the WAVE technology, will that render the phone useless if the signal is coming in aand out if the mesh isn't keeping the conversation intact? 4. Will it affect pairing to my Garmin XT2 or is GPS pairing in a seperate profile? I know there are more questions I will have but I'll post them as they pop into my head. Love your videos Sir. On a different note, I'll be seeing Chris Caliente this Saturday out in So. Cali. at the Huntington Beach Honda Motorcycle Dealer, one of the only motorcycles exclusive dealers in So Cal. Perhaps you and Chris can do a podcast on this topic. I know Chris is a Cardo man but he does dabbel with the SENA's from time to time.
live in blain Wa. How soon will the neoteck 3 hit the states? They are sold in B.C. but duty would put it out of my budget. But if push comes to shove will go that way.
Absolutely no snap, crackle, or popping with our Cardo units. Always had this issue with Sena beginning with the SMH10 thru the 50’s. Absolutely awful. After switching to Cardo Edge, this never occurs, plus the advertised features actually work!!
@@ww4dx It's always a subject to avoid by Sena or anyone supporting them. I have the spyder, 30k, and 50s and they all have that issue, so I'm sure this one will be no different. I'm like you, it's Cardo or Bust!
@@williamfotheringham3791@williamfotheringham3791 Well, you don't ride with multiple riders because the snap, crackle, and pop and the horrible noise-canceling features are horrible.
I was hoping you would ask if the new 60S would be backward compatible with previous versions, i.e. the 50S. In your visit to Sena did they mention this one way or the other?
If you mean, will you still be able to communicate between 50S and 60S using their Mesh, I am going to go out on a limb and say YES. But, I am planning to visit their facility again today and will ask that question.
I don't see how Wave would be any better than Zello. The bluetooth PTT and Zello is a lot less distracting than having an open line and have to listen to everyone else's wind noise. The advantage to mesh is that it doesn't require a cell signal.
@@goldwingrocks3859 I have, and the Cardo, although being smaller battery last as long if not longer than ANY Sena device I've owned. And I've owned MOST of them.
I have 4 helmets. All with Bluetooth headsets. 2 open face and 2 flip up modular flip up. 2 different brands. The pairing processes is just ridiculous! Just put a pairing button. The sequence to access the menu follows no standard and is not well throughout. Please make the user interface more logical and friend without needing to jump on the internet to watch a pairing video. This applies to both Sena and Cardio.
I have struggled when trying to pair between brands for sure. That is why I love Open Mesh. No pairing required. But, it only works with Sena headsets.
Wow! As always great Podcast Cruise. Sena’s been busy. The new $800-$900 Shoei Neotec 3 provides for the seamless integration of the Sena SRL 3.

Just saw where the SLR3 has Google Assistant and Siri capability! It’s about time! Wish they could update older models.

100% agree
Please

Great information. The wave technology will change the game. I see a newer new helmet in my future.
Our helmets “might” be upgradable.
I am a Sena user and will continue to be. Harley moved from Harley Branded Sena to a Harely Branded Cardo recently.
Didn't the Sena guy say Sena is integrated in Harley not Cardo

It would make sense to stick with Sena if that is the base unit

Hi Cruseman, did they say who is actually making the helmets for them?
@@TheFozzy222 they did, but it was a name I had never heard before
I always thought you were a Cardo man, have you moved to Sena... I may have missed a few of your posts
I still have Cardo units on a couple of helmets, but I tend to use Sena more than Cardo.
How compatible is Sena to Cardo
Ayrton Senna is spelled the same?
I don't see how Wave would be any better than Zello. The bluetooth PTT and Zello is a lot less distracting than having an open line and have to listen to everyone else's wind noise. The advantage to mesh is that it doesn't require a cell signal.
Can sena just simplify the way my Sena Impulse updates?
AND, can I hook it up to my GoPro?
Why are the senas so huge? As in size compared to the cardo.
Have you compared battery life?
@@cruisemansgarage I have not. Are they much longer life?

This was pretty much useless Info... The Sena guy did not know anything about there Products. I do remember first hearing of sena from Chris Caliente.
If that was your takeaway, then the information in the video is not useless.
