Anyone tried the new 50s? I’m thinking of upgrading from my 20 evo but sena isn’t known for having the best product when released. They just got the bugs worked out of the 30k after several years on the market.
i didn’t know they made that but for $100 I would put that towards upgradingIf otherwise happy with your 20 you could buy an adapter to connect into new 30k and 50s mesh network.

Sena has an upgrade deal going on until June-30. They will rebate you back $135 for trading in your 20 evo.Guess I will be the guinea pig. I ordered one and it should be here Thursday...
I saw that but you have to buy the 50 from sena which is retail at $339. I got it online for $70 less and I’m going to sell my 20 evo when the 50 comes in tomorrowSena has an upgrade deal going on until June-30. They will rebate you back $135 for trading in your 20 evo.

I use ear buds so speaker volume is of little importance to me although the 50 has new speakers and is supposed to be better audio. In private mesh up to 24 people can connect and open mesh is more. The 50 has the ability to take a non mesh sena like the 20 and bridge it into mesh. Seems like a worthwhile upgrade for me. My biggest concern is most new release sena are very buggy. It took sena several years to get the 30 working right with updates.I like to wear ear plugs when I ride and the sena20s evo that i have just about goes loud enough that I can hear my music and other users at 90mph with the ear plugs, I am seeing a lot of people state the evo50 doesn’t go as loud as the 20, so that is a big concern of mine, I also ride with my wife and daughters all on our own bikes and use the group intercom function, it sounds like that has disappeared on the 50 and you are perhaps limited to a max size of 3 or maybe 4 people? None of the documentation is very clear!! Trying to understand the diagrams on How the mesh system works is very challenging, does the mesh network still use Bluetooth? Some radio frequency, or is it using a gsm network? I figured I can sell my 20s for about $150 each, I can find the 50s online for under $300 so I effectively get $150 rebate and I can sell them when I want rather than having to do it during the Sena rebate period.. have had my Senas for many years (had the 10s prior to the 20s) but am still not that impressed with Sena, so will let more people try the 50s before I buy another 4..
so is the 50 louder? The reports I read all said it was not as loud as the 20!! Sound quality is better with the 50, but people where stating that it doesn't go as loud!! The quality doesn't bother me much, but the loudness does!! I mainly use it to talk, not for music so quality is less critical, but I need to be able to hear everyone, wether I am riding my dirt bike (loud) or my road bike (noisy from the wind).I don’t like how sena experiments on the public. We shell out the bucks and the kinda get it right down the road, Apparently Cardo Packtalk has gotten it right. I will wait for their answer to the 50k. I do like the speaker upgrade more base and louder, points for 50k. Lot of money and some of the early reviews have not been good. Bluetooth layering problems.
currently have a pair of 30k that have not Ben used more than a couple of times. So not in a hurry.
