Sena SMH5 on a Biltwell Gringo here. I only ride solo so, music, navigation & phone are all I need. If I ever want to upgrade, it will be to the 10s and Bell Qualifier DLX.
I love riding with a Bluetooth headset, keeps my choice in music private and enjoyable. No need to pull over for phone calls or to check a map. People I work with trip out because, they can't really hear my bike over the headset while I'm riding and their following me or see me in traffic.
"Yes, I ride during work and use it to keep contact with the guards I supervise. That's the sole purpose I bought it for and it works like a charm."

I wear a full face helmet and would like to get a hands-free Bluetooth headset primarily so I can hear the navigation from my phone. There are several different options on the market. Just looking to get some feedback from those with Bluetooth headset experience.
Sena 10S on a Shoei Neotec here. Tried the 10R first but couldn't get the hang of the buttons so sold it, and bought the 10S. Sound is a lot better, and though not the sleek low profile of the 10R, the battery lasts *way* longer, and the controls are much easier to use with gloves on.
Have just bought the Sena 10s as there are 3 of us about to go on tour in the next few weeks.
Have one of the cheap chinese versions as well that cost about $30 and I have even managed to get that to link to the Sena as well. So don't have to buy another one for me Girlfriend when she is riding with me.
I do have a full face that is fully bluetoothed whic was great for satnav/music/phone but never used it as an intercom.
When I am over in the US in Sept I am going to pick up the Sena Cavalry as well
I run a Sena 20s, like others have said the call quality is impressive. I can be cruising at 60 and everyone that I've talked to said its no louder than talking on the phone in a car. Install instructions were lacking but there is a ton of support on their website which made the install easy.
