Sena Technologies Inc., a Bluetooth innovator in the motorcycle and outdoor activities market, has announced some big changes to the package inclusions for its acclaimed SMH10 Bluetooth headset and intercom for motorcycles. The changes allow riders the option to purchase a standard package with a fixed-boom microphone or a universal kit that comes with attachable boom and wired-flat microphones. It also reduces e-waste by eliminating the wall charger “brick” from the package inclusions which, in turn, has allowed Sena to lower the overall price of the SMH10 to $209 for the standard package and $219 for the universal microphone kit package.
“Our team of product developers constantly seeks out new ways to integrate optimal riding solutions and choices for consumers into existing products,” said Tae Kim, president and CEO of Sena Technologies, Inc. “We want riders to love using Sena Bluetooth headsets and one of the attributes our users like so much is that they have the freedom to configure their headset/intercom units that best suit their riding needs. Plus the new package contents help our environment and that’s always a plus.”
What the new version of Sena’s SMH10 does not have, users may not miss at all. Sena opted to not include the USB wall charger unit with SMH10’s new contents as the system may be charged using the included USB cable from any certified USB compatible “bricks” or by using virtually any personal computers users may already have on hand. This accomplishes two things for the SMH10 owner and for Sena; it reduces the original cost from $219 for a single kit or $399 for a dual kit, to $209 (single) and $379 (dual) for the standard package. It also reduces the number of electronic accessories that often end up as e-waste as a result of consumers acquiring multiple devices.
Sena also introduces new universal microphone kit packages in addition to the standard fixed boom microphone kit package. The universal microphone kit package comes with the SMH10 main unit, together with the universal microphone clamp kit with attachable boom microphone and wired flat microphone. The price of the SMH10 with the universal microphone kit package is $219 for a single kit or $399 for a dual kit. Existing Sena SMH10 users also now have the option to purchase a universal microphone kit as an accessory to give themselves the freedom to switch between a boom mic and a wired mic.
