Sena SMH10 Bluetooth Intercom Single Kit

[Tommo]

Looking at this kit but I'm not sure how you recharged the battery. Is there a USB lead to a wall socket type plug?

Mine came with a usb cord to charge it from the computer and a 12 volt cord to charge from the bike or auto. My phone charger will work and that is what I use on my Sena. If you have a charger for the wall outlet that the usb will fit you can use it also.

That's what I wanted to know

Thanks

Will the Sena SMH10 still receive via bluetooth without the mic attached
Can you detach the boom mic

The part that does the bluetooth is attached to a mounting bracket. There are various mounting brackets - with or without (use earbuds) speakers; with a plug that you can attach either speakers or an earbud plug; with an attached boom mic or with a boom mike that is fitted in the helmet and plugged into the mount.  I just tried mine and it receives audio without the mic plugged in.

That is good to know that you can have a setup without a mic as all I want is to hear is the GPS route instructions.

FYI, you can use the Sena while it's plugged in and charging too, so you can get a powerlet to micro cord and plug the helmet in to the rear power outlet and never run the battery down when you ride.  I haven't done that myself, but the Sena info says it is a feature.

After thinking about it I can't come up with a good reason NOT to have a mic, even if it is never used.  If something were to happen on the road and leave one in a state that they were only able to barely reach the phone button and barely speak it would still be possible to summon help if a phone was paired with it.  My phone is paired to the Sena separately from the bike and it's in my jacket pocket zipped up, so I could still use it if necessary.  And yes, there are plenty of places in the Hill Country in Texas where there is NO cell phone service of any kind, and yes, those are the most enjoyable roads to ride if for nothing else but the long views across the expanse of hills.  You pays your money and you takes your chances.  JMTCW, yours may differ.
