## Overview

The Sena pi is a lightweight, water-resistant Bluetooth intercom headset designed to clip onto most cycling and multi-sport helmets. It supports clear 2-way communication up to 400 meters, offers 6 hours of talk time with a 2.5-hour charge, and pairs seamlessly with smartphones for music, calls, and GPS navigation. Compatible with the Sena Utility App, it enhances your ride with smart pairing features, making it an essential companion for connected outdoor enthusiasts.

## Description

The Sena pi is a universal Bluetooth Intercom system that turns your favorite outdoor-sport helmet into a Sena smart helmet with 2-way Bluetooth Intercom, no data plan or cell service required. It also serves as an audio output device, as it can pair to a smartphone so the user can listen to music, make or take phone calls, and listen to GPS navigation. The pi's compact design makes it easy to attach to most cycling or skating helmets, or any other helmet with a strap width of up to 18 mm (0.7 in). The unit's two-button control scheme, located on the left speaker, makes it easy to control on-the-go. Sena's pi is ready to go out of the box: just clip it to your helmet, press the two button on the unit to turn on the unit, and you're ready to connect with another user.

Review: Works well, instructions confusing, good customer service - Initially, we did have some trouble getting the Sena Pi to work. The firmware updater software for a Mac is dated and awkward. It's hard to tell what the updater software did, or if your firmware was already up to date. Connecting to my iPhone 13 Pro Max with latest iOS worked for me but was problematic for my wife with a similar phone. She kept hearing Apple Music take over and start to play music through the Pi. We googled the problem, but could find no setting to stop Apple music. This could be an Apple problem, as I don't use Apple Music and I had no issues with my iPhone. We never got the two Pi units to connect using the phone method. We did get it to work using the more direct "Intercom" method. the Sena Pi directions are not straightforward but we could get the two communication units to connect using the 5 second button push intercom pairing method. This method does not include a connection to your phone and the two Pi units connect to each other directly The "5-second button push" method meant pairing the two Pi units each time they were used. After consulting Sena Pi Customer Service we got advice to conduct a "factory reset" on both Pi comm units, we got them to connect "normally" with a one to two-second button push. The Pi units provide excellent communication. We can hear each other very clearly. We can adjust the volume depending on the noise in the surrounding environment. We find that the range is less than Sena says. We get a good connection for up to about 250 - 300 yard (meters). We are normally within direct line of sight, with no obstructions between us. More than about 300 yards and the connection gets lost - but the units will reconnect automatically when you get back in range. You hear a beep every few seconds until they reconnect. After the factory reset, we have had no issues with battery life, even in very cold weather down to 0F (-18C). We typically ride 1 to 2 hours and the batteries are fine. Now we have the Pi units working, we cannot imagine cycling without them. They are really great and I recommend anyone cycling in a pair to get them.
Review: Almost perfect... - Firstly, if you don't already have an intercom device for your bike, get one. When my wife and I go riding together, having an intercom increases the fun factor by 3-fold. And if there are cars coming up from behind, we can notify each other of possible issues. So, there's the safety benefit as well. It is surprising how well you can hear each other while riding. It gets difficult to hear with high winds/speeds, but for the vast majority of the time the system works great. However, the Sena Pi is not perfect. It takes a bit of getting used to the various button push sequences for utilizing various capabilities. There's a lot of "hold [minus/plus] button for [1, 2, or more] seconds" or "press [minus/plus] button [1, 2, or more] times" to access various functions, battery life, receiving a call, making a call, etc. But this can be mastered over time. The more annoying issue we've found so far is when the intercom connection is lost for whatever reason - distance or obstruction. Re-establishing that intercom connection has been hit and miss. Just pressing the minus button for 1 second is supposed to establish an intercom connection. But I'd just get "Intercom connection failure. Please try again later". At first, I thought I may have been too far away from my wife when I tried to re-establish connection. But I had the same problem when I was right next to her. When I power cycled my unit and tried to establish a connection, it seemed to work...I think. The connection just seemed to come in out of nowhere, so I'm not 100% sure of the sequence of events. Before this latest ride where this problem occurred, I had updated the firmware on both units and did a factory reset on both units. So, those operations won't fix the problem. Nonetheless, the benefit of having phone answering and intercom capabilities, among others, is nothing less than awesome.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Having trouble with these. bought 2 pair. i dont want to pair these to phone. only headset to headset.  i tried holding the two buttons down on each**
A: How to pair two units to each other without using a phone:
When the unit first powers on, it announces the following: "Hello, phone pairing.".
After power on is complete, hold the minus (-) button on the first unit until you hear it announce: "Intercom pairing.".  Release the button. The unit will beep and flash red while attempting to pair with another unit. On the second unit, hold the minus (-) button until you hear the second unit announce: "Intercom pairing." It will also beep and flash red while attempting to pair with the first unit.  Both units will stop beeping and will flash blue when pairing is successful. It could take a minute or two for pairing to occur.  If unsuccessful, powered off, then on again and try again.  Make sure the batteries are reasonably charged up and the units are close to each other while pairing. Contrary to a previous response, the units will pair via bluetooth WITHOUT ever using a phone or app. I use the method described above all the time without ever using my phone.

**Q: Will it pair with multiple Sena helmets or only 2? Can that person still hear the others on a group ride?**
A: Only one more rider

**Q: What does it mean if no light is on when charging?**
A: My own experience:  The intercom is divided in two parts (one for the right ear and one for the left ear) amd when you connect the USB-C plug into the right part a red light turns on on the left part.  After the unit is fully charged the light turns blue.
In your case if you see no light, it probably mean the unit doesn't charge.  Check if you fully inserted the USB-C plug into the unit and that you really use a USB-C cable.  Check the source you plug it into or check you cable with an other device.  I suggest you to contact the manufacturer.

**Q: If you're connected to another headset and then switch to listen to music on my phone, can you easily go back to communicate with the other headset?**
A: If you are asking is there seamless switching between intercom and music I believe the answer is no.  Bluetooth pairing with the other headset would have to be interrupted.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitely plus for the ride
*by R***P on September 8, 2022*

Update: We have used these for several weeks now. As far as usage time between charges, I consistently experience the following: We ride for ~1 hr per night. Each time on my 4th ride somewhere around halfway I get a ‘battery low’ announcement. I don’t receive another alert for the remainder of the ride, and only once have I experience a temporary drop of signal with static and her voice cutting in and out (distance of 50’ or less). It should be noted that she’s never received the warning. I haven’t run this to a dead battery and we charge both devices when I get the alert. Still, I feel confident in saying the device will last AT LEAST 4, possibly 5, hours on a full charge. Distance: no issue with line-of-sight comms for at least a suburban block. With non-line-of-site we lost connection at about 2 houses with her up a detached-garage driveway and me around a street corner. Overall we are VERY happy with these and regret not having them sooner. I would highly recommend to anyone except those riding for incredibly long, single day trips. ——————— As you likely know, don’t believe the performance stats as advertised. These are no different, but depending on your individual needs, these can be more than satisfactory. I bought a set for my wife and I to use on our frequent leisure rides. We bike about 4-5 hours per week in one hour rides. We’re never far apart, but without yelling it can be hard to hear through wind noise if riding single file. There are very helpful. Loud and clear hand-free conversation. We’ve only been through one charge and I got a low battery warning at about 3-1/2 hours. Not great, but more than meets our needs. We did a brief distance test and lost reception at around 2 houses plus a turn around one corner, no line-of-sight. I feel with line-of-sight, the distance would easily approach at least a couple-tenths of a mile, more than many will require. Pairing directly with each other was incredibly easy with no need for a cell connection or app required. Although, I believe the app is required for any group greater than 2. You decide what fits your needs, but these definitely allow clear connection at sufficient volume to allow good safety warnings or general conversation with enough battery for most daily rides. ————— Update - 8 months later …. We still use these every ride. My wife has only received her battery low message once, and while I have always received one after 3 or 4 rides, I now get them after about 1-1/2 rides. Obviously my battery has more issues than hers. That said, I will be purchasing another as, on the whole, it is a great product. I’m counting on my less-than-stellar performing is the anomaly, and hers is normal experience. Will update this again if needed. Still I would, and do, recommend this product.
