From the website:
"The SMH5-FM is a Bluetooth 3.0 stereo headset with Bluetooth intercom and built-in FM tuner designed specifically for motorcycles. With the SMH5-FM, you can call handsfree on your Bluetooth mobile phone, listen to stereo music or voice instructions of GPS navigations by Bluetooth wirelessly, and have two-way intercom conversations in full duplex with a passenger or other motorcycle riders.
Thanks to the latest Bluetooth 3.0 and the advanced digital signal processing technology, the SMH5 offers the best sound quality for both incoming and outgoing sound in its class. Also, the easy-to-access and intuitive button operations make the SMH5-FM a perfect companion for motorcycles."
Is this new?
-
Dunno. I got the message on my personal email as I'm subscribed to them. Just passing it on.
-
It's so new it's not even on their price list. At least I didn't see it when I clicked buy now.
Any possible way to hook a radar detector into it? I suppose you have to buy a Mix-It box.

You might try posting that question on one of their forums.

Just got this announcement in the e-mail.
I am not affiliated with Sena, but I live close to them and seem to be on their e-mail list.

That's looking better than the one that showed up in my email this morning for the BLiNC 2 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ref=pe_110250_27124240_pe_row/B004FDY27K (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ref=pe_110250_27124240_pe_row/B004FDY27K)). It only lists 4 hours of continuous use, compared to the 7 hours of the Sena. It also claims only 450 meters for range, which is less then the Sena at 700 meters, making the Sena better for bike to bike comms. It's probably less money ($135) than the Sena, but I don't think the battery life wouldn't cut it.

People still listen to FM radio? Profound. Next someone will say they still listen to AM =)

I'm working on listening to my wife. I really try but she says it isn't working...
Yes, I listen to FM, AM(traffic stuff), and will be listening to shortwave soon. Can't wait to pull in the BBC.

So...... how do I get my bluetooth device to connect to my 8-track player??
-
Ah, 8-tracks... To this day, I hear certain Stones songs (all on Sticky Fingers) and anticipate the pause while the track changes. I've been scarred for life, I fear.
