Motorcycle Helmet Bluetooth Headsets by Sena
A motorcycle Bluetooth headset is one of the easiest upgrades you can make to a helmet you already trust, adding a cleaner audio experience without changing the way the lid feels. Cleaner GPS navigation, hands-free phone calls, music through proper speakers, and rider-to-rider intercom when you're on group rides. Hedon keeps Sena's leading comms systems across two models, tuned to full face and open face use, so you can match the headset to the way you actually ride. Read our blog on the best Bluetooth motorcycle helmets for our top 6 picks.
For Full Face Riders: Sena 50R
The Sena 50R is the compact, low-profile choice for full face helmets. Slim, glove-friendly, and built around Sena's Mesh 2.0 intercom and Bluetooth 5, it fits cleanly into the speaker pockets on the Heroine Racer 2.0 and Psilo Explorer without adding bulk. Installation is straightforward, since the units mount into the existing helmet cavities rather than requiring modification.
For Open Face Riders: Sena 50S
The Sena 50S is the premium pick, built around Harman Kardon speakers and microphone. Larger jog dial for easier operation with gloves, longer intercom range, and richer sound quality. Best on the Hedonist and Epicurist open face lids where the more exposed environment benefits from stronger audio quality.
Single for Solo Riders, Dual Systems for Partners
Each model comes as a single (for solo rider setups or a first headset) or dual (two headsets bundled for riding with a partner or setting up rider-to-rider intercom out of the box). Dual kits save on the second unit and pair automatically.
Standout Features Across the Range
- Mesh 2.0 intercom: Dynamic multi-way comms for group rides, with automatic reconnection when riders drop in and out of range.
- Bluetooth 5: Faster pairing, lower latency, and stable connections for phone calls, music, and GPS directions.
- Advanced Noise Control: Filters wind noise and engine noise so voice calls and intercom stay clear at highway speeds, letting you communicate with your riding group without shouting over the wind.
- Voice command control: Hands stay on the bars, which is a safety win as much as a convenience one. Access your digital assistant, adjust volume, or start an intercom call with a spoken cue.
- Glove-friendly controls: Redesigned jog dials and three-button layouts built for real-world use with gloves.
- Compatible with any modern helmet: While these bundles are matched to Hedon's helmet range, both units mount on most full face and open face helmets from other brands.
How to Choose Your Motorcycle Bluetooth Headset
Pick a bluetooth communicator based on the helmet you ride with and how you use audio on the bike.
- Solo rider, full face helmet: Sena 50R (single). Compact, clean sound, everything you need for GPS, calls, and music.
- Solo rider, open face helmet: Sena 50S (single). Bigger speakers and richer audio for the more exposed acoustic environment of an open face lid.
- Riding with a partner, full face: Sena 50R (dual). Two units, pre-paired, ready for rider-to-rider intercom out of the box.
- Riding with a partner, open face: Sena 50S (dual). The premium setup for couples and duos who want the best sound quality and clear communication across both helmets.
- Group rides: Either 50R or 50S works. Mesh 2.0 connects up to multiple riders and reconnects automatically when someone drops out.
The right headset shapes the whole riding experience, from how you handle GPS prompts on unfamiliar roads to how well you stay in sync with your riding group.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Sena motorcycle Bluetooth headset is right for my helmet?
Hedon bundles the Sena 50R with full face helmets like the Heroine Racer 2.0 and Psilo Explorer because its slim profile fits cleanly into modern speaker pockets. The Sena 50S is paired with open face helmets like the Hedonist and Epicurist, since its Harman Kardon speakers deliver the audio clarity you want in a more exposed setup. Browse Hedon’s Bluetooth motorcycle helmets for the full selection.
What's the difference between single and dual Sena kits?
A single kit contains one headset, ideal if you're setting up your own helmet or adding a first system to your ride. A dual kit contains two headsets that are pre-paired and ready to use as a rider-to-rider intercom setup out of the box.
What's the intercom range on the Sena 50R and 50S?
Both models offer an intercom range around 1.2 miles between paired units under clear conditions. Real-world range varies with terrain, traffic, and line of sight, but the Mesh 2.0 network reconnects automatically when riders drop in and out of range, which is what makes it more reliable than standard Bluetooth intercom on group rides.
Do Sena headsets work with GPS, phone calls, and music?
Yes to all three. Both the Sena 50R and 50S easily connect via Bluetooth 5 to your phone for calls, streaming music, and GPS navigation prompts. Voice-activated digital assistant access ("Hey Google" or "Hey Siri" on the 50S) lets you control everything without taking your hands off the bars, which is both a safety benefit and a smoother riding experience overall. Advanced Noise Control keeps voice audio clear even at highway speeds.
