It is remarkable how devices that were updated recently (2022) no longer have a traditional FM-radio, due to the troublesome supply of electronic chips and components.
The reason behind that decision is that it is better to have a proper functioning intercom without FM-radio than no intercom at all, so the least essential element is cut.
This obviously doesn’t mean you have to go through life in silence now: there’s still the option to listen to music through your smartphone or external MP3-player or even to an online FM-station with weblink. It even sounds better, without static. The only disadvantage is that the data usage of your smartphone gets a little boost on the way.
SENA delivers an ultra-light, ultra-thin and very compact Bluetooth headset/intercom system: 10R! The unit of the revolutionary small 10R communication set is only 8 mm thick and weighs a mere 22 grams!
The sleek and compact design of the waterproof 10R demonstrates that communication sets don't have to be big to perform well, without compromising on ease of use. Three buttons provide easy access to all functions. If desired, the 10R can voice-command instructions from all menus, as well as a linked GPS system.
Remote Control compatible
Sena has once again paid a lot of attention to ease of use; thanks to the Bluetooth 4.1 technology, the 10R can be easily linked to the Sena remote control, which can be purchased separately. This remote control makes it possible to control both audio through the handlebar without having to let go of the handlebars.
Customized sound
The 10R offers an outstanding stereo sound quality thanks to the advanced digital processing technology (including integrated wind-noise reduction) and the integrated audio booster. The volume of all connected devices can therefore be adjusted (individually). The 10R has a talk time of up to 10 hours. Charging is possible during the ride, with a supplied cable. The 10R is attached to the helmet with special tape, making it suitable for (almost) all helmets.
General note: The electronics world (which also includes intercoms, smartphones, gps, etc.) is changing so fast, that it is possible that some (outdated) devices are not compatible with each other in certain areas. Unfortunately, the manufacturer cannot provide us with data that shows which combinations between intercoms/gps's and/or smartphones cause problems. A regular update of all electronic devices is therefore desirable to avoid problems as much as possible.
