When I first saw these helmets, I was really excited. We needed new ski helmets and I had previously used SENA motorcycle helmets with great success. Would these be as good? Unfortunately, I couldn't find much information or decent reviews online so I ordered all three different models for my wife, teenage son and myself. Here's some things I learned: The SX and SE helmets are the same, but the SE has rigid plastic over the ears. The SX model has flexible foam and fabric instead, which we found to be more comfortable. It is also easier to take on and off because it doesn't pinch your head. There is no size adjustment on these models. They fit pretty close to the sizing guidelines on Sena's website. The quality of the helmet seems very good and the price is fantastic, considering their stand-alone intercom system is $99 without the helmet. The SX and SE are the older models. The S1 is the newer model. The S1 has an BOA-type adjustment wheel on the back for a better fit. My head seemed to fit "deeper" into the helmet and be more secure. The S1 has vents on the top of the helmet that can be opened or closed, the other's don't. I preferred the S1, but my wife and son liked the SX better. The controls on all three are easy to use with gloves. The SX & SE have large push buttons and the S1 has a jog wheel with a center push button. We had no problems using the controls on either design. The SX & SE use a Micro-USB charging port. The S1 uses a newer USB-C cable. The S1 charges within an hour or so, the others require much longer charge times (several hours). The SX & SE have FM radio receivers. The radio stations are set via the phone app. You don't need the app to use the helmet, but it makes it easier (see below). The S1 doesn't have the FM radio capability but comes with a cord for connecting to the headphone jack of a phone or MP3 player. The bluetooth connection worked fine on all three helmets, so I didn't need the cord. As others have said, the sound is OK, but not great for music. The best part of these helmets is the intercom capability, not music listening. The phone app makes is super easy to connect with others. To connect to someone else, just scan the QR code found in their phone app to connect. You can connect four people together in a group conversation. Connecting is easy, just tap the button the number of times that corresponds to the person you want to talk with. We just started a group conversation and left it open until one of us skied out of range. Usually, we would meet up at the bottom of the hill and start all over again. It's also super-easy to call anyone via bluetooth and carry on a conversation with no problems. The range is great for a bluetooth device - probably half-mile maximum. You can hear the signal fade as the person moves away and a beep when the connection is lost. Just tap the button when you are in range again to connect. The ability to chat, laugh and coordinate together was awesome. No need to yell, wave your arms or push someone (lol) to get their attention. We all felt it was well worth the money for the ability to talk together. The batteries easily lasted 4-6 hours, even keeping them on for group talk. After using these several times, I can easily recommend them to others. They are easy to use, rugged and dependable. I think they are a good value for the money, but others in the group also need to have Sena equipment.

Avoid this Brand! Terrible company! I used this helmet last year, and half of this year. The microphone broke - snapped off half way down the stem. When I looked closely at it, the microphone comes unplugged. I asked the company for a replacement. They responded that they do not provide replacement parts and they are not available for purchase. It is about a $1.50 part and they won't even sell me one. I will never buy or recommend this companies products ever!

The helmet is high quality and fit well. The sound is amazing. I was fully resistant to even wear a helmet but after wearing this one, I wouldn't do without it. It's so perfect to enjoy the beauty while skiing and hear my music. I am able to talk to my partner at will and turn her/him off when needed.

After trying on 20+ Different helmets this one fit the best. Bluetooth works incredibly well. Microphone in helmet works very well. My wife heard me clearly as i was beaming down a trail. It Doesn't have much bass but it doesnt bother me because none of them with audio of them do. My head was nice and comfortable, not hot and itchy. Unfortunately it isn’t offered with MIPS but after wearing it I didnt care because I like it so much.

These are the game changer we were looking for. My wife and I biked 1800 miles last year but our helmets only had Bluetooth to Lauren to music. These helmets upped the game with the intercom feature so we can chat, let each other know when to pull over, warnings about mud on the path, or even just figuring out when to stop for lunch. We looked for a good intercom system for over a year and finally found these... we must have returned 4 others along the way. The sound quality is excellent, noise canceling is good, controls are obvious... Awesome.

Great sound quality. Built more like a motorcycle helmet than a ski helmet. Thicker padding, more shell coverage, better chin strap. All three pluses in my book, but does mean increased weight. The built in intercom is very well executed and works at least as well as my SMH 10 motorcycle unit. All for a price less than a stand alone intercom or typical ski helmet.

Comfortable fit and really long battery life. Suggest they add a green light to indicate fully charged (you have to turn on to check whether fully charged).

UPDATE!! There is much trouble in returning a prime product as a prime member! Do not buy this product with any confidence! I have other Sena gear that sounds rich and luxurious inside of my helmet, but they missed the mark here. These speakers are terrible. Plenty of other helmets out there fit just as well as this one, and some are even better. So, the only reason one would buy this helmet is for the electronics. I'm pissed, and it's going back!

Very practical if you need a helmet to communicate with friends or family while on the pist. Great build quality but it is expected at this price...

Funciona bien sin desconexiones, fui a esquiar con mis primos e ibamos conversando durante el dia, conexion estable con los demas y con el movil.

Top pour le ski Le son est suffisamment dosé pour entendre ce qui se passe autour

Great helmet. Fit’s nicely with my SPY Legacy goggles and the comms are easy to use. The 1km connectivity may optimistic and most likely in perfect conditions and terrain. Would recommend.

The helmet looks, feels and works great, with clear sound. Microphone picks up voice clearly even in the highest wind conditions. Very easy to use even with gloves on. However, the sizing chart was completely wrong, i.e. after measuring my head in separate occasion and with the help of different people (I was exactly in the middle of the range of a Medium), the helmet is way too big for me. Maybe it was intended to wear with a head cover? Unfortunately, returning postage from my location is more than half the cost of the helmet, so I had to order another one in small size and keep them both... lucky the price is cheaper that a individual SENA unit itself...!
