For Neotec 2, now with mesh, sound is improved through H/K cooperation
Habs in a Shoei Neotec 2, you don't have much choice if you want a built-in system. The installation is a bit tricky, because all the cables are fixed and with this SRL mesh, compared to the predecessor SRL2, there are also some antenna cables that don't really belong anywhere. But ok, with a little patience it works.
The sound has improved compared to the SRL2 (probably due to the Harman/Kardon "pimped" speakers), but is not on the same level as the Cardo Packtalk Bold + JBL that I have on another helmet. Especially compared to the Cardo, the volume change is a bit rough when changing speed, it has like steps. I'm hoping for an improvement after the next firmware/software update (firmware updates can be done via the included USB WLAN cable).
The microphone is good, though. However, the voice assistant does not yet recognise me automatically when I am driving. I still have to press the centre button for 3 seconds for the system to recognise me. Maybe it's my unclear pronunciation ...Pro
- It is integrated (Neotec 2)
- Mesh, who needs it
- Speaker sound better than SRL2
- Microphone quality
Contra
- The current price of 399 is already a house number
- Sound compared to Cardo + JBL
- Somewhat erratic increase in volume (with speed changes)
- Battery cannot be removed, must be charged "with helmet"
Great
Pro
- Sound quality
- Complement integrated into the helmet
Contra
- Installation (not easy)
Sena for Shoei Neotech 5
I really wanted the new Shoei helmet, and this Sena fits the bill. However, you can't really use it with gloves on, the buttons are too small. So you can't feel them with gloves on.
But I would still buy it again in a heartbeat.Pro
- Very precise fit
- Simple assembly
- long runtime
- Super sound and noise cancellation
- Mesh with 9 channels
Contra
- Difficult to operate with gloves
- Expensive for a single system
- Weight of the helmet is increased.
Mitigated
For the price, I find quite disappointing compared to Freecom 4 plus .
Pro
- Compact
- Good sound
- Easy to install
Contra
- No possibility of using it for loading
- Autonomy compared to freecom 4 plus
Works well
Pro
- Good set-up
- Discreet
Finally good sound in a Shoei helmet!
I only bought the headset because of the Harman Kardon speakers. This headset turns the helmet into a concert hall. Of course, you can also use it as a means of communication and it does a good job of that too. The buttons are just big enough to be operated with gloves on.
I think it's a clever idea that the mesh functions have been outsourced to a separate button. Because like all these devices, there are countless functions but only 3 buttons to operate them. So when you're driving, you're puzzled as to whether you need to press 1s, 2s, double or single. Voice commands are also available, but I'm at war with them. No matter. When the music kicks in with fat bass, all you want to do is drive and stop rambling!Pro
- Sound quality
- Integration in Shoei helmet
- Runtime
Contra
- Fiddly operation
