Sena Launches Wireless Stereo Headset & Intercom

SAN JOSE, Calif. (March 16, 2012) – Sena Technologies, Inc., a Bluetooth innovator in the motorcycle and outdoor activities market, announced the release of its Bluetooth® Stereo Headset and Intercom for Scooters and Motorcycles, the SMH5.

The SMH5 is designed with Bluetooth v3.0 technology and allows riders to wirelessly make mobile calls, listen to stereo or mp3 player music or audio instruction of GPS navigation. Riders can also hold conversations with another motorcyclist or the passenger via the SMH5’s two-way, multi-pair Bluetooth intercom system.

“The SMH5 shares many of the award-winning features our customers love about our flagship SMH10 Bluetooth Headset and Intercom, and comes in at a very accessible price point for all riders,” said Tae Kim, President and CEO of Sena Technologies, Inc. “We listened to and made sure we addressed the needs of motorcycle and scooter riders looking for optimal capability in a wireless communication device. We feel the SMH5 offers many features missing from other Bluetooth devices designed for motorcyclists.”

Thanks to the latest Bluetooth v3.0 and its advanced digital processing technology, the Sena SMH5 promises to offer the best audio quality for both incoming and outgoing sound in its class. Motorcyclists who wear gloves while riding may appreciate the easy-to-access and intuitive button and dial operations.

Riders may hold conversations at normal volume with a passenger or another motorcycle rider, spanning a distance of one-quarter mile in open terrain via the multi-pair intercom capability. The SMH5 also supports the Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP), so one may not only listen to the music wirelessly over Bluetooth, but also remotely control music playback on compatible Bluetooth audio devices.

In addition, the integrated audio booster of the SMH5 provides sufficient sound level for the best sound experience in noisy environments, and the SMH5 may be charged while in use.

The SMH5 retails for $129.00 for a single kit, $249.00 for a dual kit and is available, along with Sena’s line of other Bluetooth products, at retailers throughout the country, as well as online at www.senabluetooth.com.
