I have been a Sena user for a number of years and their 10R unit has been useful over many trips. However it deteriorated to the point where I considered replacing it with a newer model and selected the 50R to be able to use the fancy new features that this has. Whilst I have no criticism of the unit itself which is well made and works as advertised, I do take issue with several misleading descriptions. The product page on this side calls it 'low profile' which it patently is not. When compared with the 10R it is double the size and as bulky as any of the other 50 or 60 series models. This is the main reason why I dislike the 50R as I find the huge carbuncle on the side of my helmet unsightly and vulnerable. Whilst the audio quality is excellent, I was looking for better audio management when listening to radio or auxiliary channels, specifically to not lose the entire radio audio when the GPS overrides with directions. Careful reading of the various descriptions of the model led me to believe that this new model would provide this, but sadly it did not. The radio audio is silenced entirely for quite a period even after the GPS directions have finished, so one ends up missing quite a chunk of sound. Then there were the connectivity issues. I was hoping to be able to connect with a friend, who uses a Cardo unit, but this proved impossible despite several tries. Now this might have been a problem with the other unit and the process (inexperienced Cardo user) but surely by now the market should have matured to the point where silly rivalries that block cooperation have been eliminated. Sadly no. Anyway, Sena make a good looking product but there are still issues.
