Has anyone purchased the new Sena 50 series? Just wondering if the audio is improved over my 20s EVO.
thanks,

Theoretical, how about practical? There's a group of 4 of us that ride together often. Just two never had the problem but when 3 or 4 joined up did. We all had the 20s or 20 Evo. In a group of 3 or 4 on intercom we always had some clicking, tapping, or a noise that sounded kind of like a snare drum being tapped. When two of us went to the 50s the group intercom became startling clear with none of the previous background noise. The Mesh technology of the 30 and 50 is supposedly the reason. Another great thing about Mesh is what when one rider drops out of range then catches up Mesh technology seamlessly re-connects that rider to the others, no one has to terminate the group intercom and open it again. The speakers are higher definition and reportedly sound better with less distortion at high volume levels. I was perfectly happy with my 20S but a new 50S arrives tomorrow if UPS is on schedule. One group ride of 4 convinced me. There are some other improvements too, the battery recharges much quicker and if connected to charging with a WiFi signal present the unit automatically updates the software.What are the theoretical benefits of the 50 vs the Evo 20S for instance.

Thanks Dave. Of course "practical" is better! Appreciate the first hand experience. I have a 20s Evo and just did a ride last Saturday with just one other rider and other than having issues getting the intercom established it worked fine even reconnecting after out of range breaks automatically. However, I really wish it had more speed dial programming available. 3 is not enough. Does the 50 save more speed dials?
Nope, 3 speed dial slots. However, Siri will dial any number you want with voice command.
I purchased a new Shoei Neotec 2 and installed the 50s about a week ago. Have ridden several hundred miles and am very pleased. Been using a C4 with an SC1 advanced for 3 years and have been happy with it. The 50s is hands down better. Better speakers, the voice commands work really well. Hey siri allows you to send texts or send and receive calls, start/stop music, obtain directions, weather, etc. without touching anything. Hey sena is also awesome.....Incoming call you can say answer or ignore. I really like being able to do everything with voice commands. You can pair devices, join mesh networks and so much more with only your voice. I commute and tour on my bike and this is a really good upgrade for me. Worth the money IMO.
I've had my 50S for a couple of weeks now, but for the life of me, I cannot get it to recognize a single Sena voice command. I updated the firmware today, and confirmed in the Sena Bluetooth Device Manager that the voice command function is enabled. What am I missing? I know the mic works, because I can carry on phone conversations, and also activate Siri by voice. I also know the operative words are, "Hey Sena". And I've pronounced Sena both ways. I don't see anything in the 50S Utility app on my iPhone where you can disable voice commands. Did I miss something there, and could I have disabled them accidentally, or can they be disabled by toggling some other device function?

Have you accidentally set the 50s to a language other than English? Language can be set in the app.
I confirmed in the App that the headset language is set to English. I also ckecked and confirmed I was actually using the correct commands, and I am.
