Sena Outrush Modular Smart Helmet, DOT Approved

I bought an XL Sena helmet with the Harmon Kardin system, but XL turned out to be too small. Sound was great, but fit was not. I attempted to buy a 2XL helmet with this same system, but I could not find one. They were available during the holidays, but now they were not. I contacted Sena and they responded telling me that they no longer made the 2XL helmets in this style. Bummer. So, then I got the first gen Outrush helmet in 2XL. It fit alright, but the right speaker didn't work as well as the left. I returned it. I guess I failed to return the helmet bag, the extra microphone foamies and instructions, so I got dinged $174 from my original purchase price. I didn't notice until I just found the extra stuff in my motorcycle trunk and was going to send it to them. That's when I saw the penalty on my refund. I'm going to talk to them about getting a little of that back when I return the overlooked return items, but enough about that right now. Let's get to the heart of why I took the time to write this review... OMG! Second gen Outrush helmet is comfortable. Helmet is easy to put on. Chin strap is easy to adjust and put on and take off. Modular part works great. Did I say the helmet is comfortable? Oh, yeah... but the frickin' sound. I'm kind of an audiophile. Not obsessed, but I enjoy my music. I have a 40 minute ride to work every day and that ride has become something to look forward too. What am I gonna listen to today? Zeppelin? Rage? Peppers? Nirvana? Aerosmith? Sublime? Maybe some Elvis Costello? How about some Santana and a little old Chicago? As you can tell, my tastes are eclectic and wide-ranging. How about a little of all of it?!!! I'm listening to music I've heard for decades and I am now hearing the lyrics for the first time. There's not a bathroom on the right... there's a "bad moon on the rise"! (-: Anyway, as I wind through the banked mountain corners eventually giving way to the flat valley straightaways, it all blurs into one symphony that makes almost an hour feel like a blink. I pull into work charged up and motivated. I'm often the first one there, so I'll wear my helmet all the way to my desk while listening to some crazy Zappa or old "Green-Eyed Lady". Man, I'm telling you. I even wear while blasting excellent tunes it for a quick trip in to the grocery store to pick up milk or bread that my wife has requested. It's surreal. The review people have asked me about weight and, safety and durability, so in response I'll say the weight is not too much. It's nice. As far as the safety and durability go. I'd rather not find out how safe it is in reality, but it seems pretty solid. As to durability, time will tell. I didn't even mention the truly functioning air vents or the built-in tinted sun screen that you can pull down inside the helmet. I'm not a paid endorser. I'm just a guy who returned two helmets looking for the right one and I found it on the third try. Oh, one more thing... I'm listening to Joe Cocker "Came In Through The Bathroom Window", when all of the sudden the volume goes to zero and the helmet speaker tells me that my wife is calling. I say to the built-in microphone to answer the call. I talk to my wife with the clear visor fully open and she thinks I'm in my company car or at my desk. I tell her I'm only minutes from home on the bike and she can't believe it! All I can say, is I don't usually take the time to write a review like this, but this helmet is the bomb. Lastly, I can't say that your experience with this helmet will be as good as mine, but if you're like me, you're going to love it. Remember, I did return one because the audio wasn't quite right only to get this one that was 1000 times better, so if it doesn't sound right, ask a couple other people to check it out and switch the smart phone you're using to send the signal, just to make sure the problem isn't on your end. Great frickin' helmet!!! Can't wait to go to work Monday morning to listen to my latest play list!

Great helmet. Bluetooth works great with good sound. Make sure you buy the next size up, all my helmets are small except this one, I had to return and order medium. Has nice chin strap latch making it easy to get on and off.

The good value for the money. It’s the older generation not mesh that’s fine, as long as I can speak to my wife and other driver I’m ok with it nor being a large grouping like the new mesh system,phone calls are clear and music is loud enough to hear sound quality is ok not great. The reason why I’m giving it one star is because I received a used helmet in perfect condition ,but used, I couldn’t even tell at first until I ordered a second one for my wife both the same size. My helmet is slightly bigger because it’s broken in slightly,I also did not receive the charger wire the two Spare foam mic covers,the instructions or warranty card. My wife’s came with all the above, much tighter. I had to manually reset my helmet aka removes all previous devises to get it to connect. My wife’s connected first try. Why won’t I return it well after several tries at a helmet I like, like this one I’ve already used it for 2 Weeks before I even figured out it was used so it really broken in and shaped to my liking. I just wish I was informed that it was a return or slightly used in the product should’ve been offered at a discounted rate I contacted Sena and he told me there’s nothing they can do since I purchased it through Amazon even though it was through their official store so I informed Mr. Andrew one of their customer service I repeat customer service that’s right am a customer take care of your customers make them lifetime customers. Well that’s a good companies too. He informed me nothing he can do. He can’t send me microphone phone warranty card charging cable none of the above just return the helmet after I’ve been wearing it for three weeks and it’s broken into my head. we all know when we first get a helmet it’s uncomfortable and breaking. Just like a pair of shoes now it’s fitted in form to my head. I do not wish to return it. I would just like what you’re supposed to get with a new products which I paid for or give me a refund for the whole thing. Either way I informed Mr. Andrew with Sena that our side-by-side group is looking for an 8 to 10 unit system. It’s going to have to be mesh and will probably be looking at their competitor Cardo after such a bad customer service I mean honestly the helmet is nice for communication. Audio quality is complete. Crap sounds terrible. I think they said that this is a Harmon k or JBL same thing either way they really dropped the ball on the quality of audio for music with that being said at least I get to talk to the other driver his passenger in my wife that’s all I need out of this home. I wish I was informed I was purchasing a used . if I do return it, I will return this and my wife’s helmet and go with Cardo.

My husband and I ride a lot and we have tested a good many helmets with an intercom system. This has been the best by a large margin. It comes in an excellent packaging system , it arrived on time. My husband likes the way the helmet opens up to give him a better panoramic view as he rides. It closes down when it is colder. It looks well made . As for the intercom system , it is the best we have used. . Very little wind interference , which has always been an issue. It locks on and stays in contact . Easy to connect and to adjust the volume. We have found no issues with the product. These are our favorite riding helmets. We both have found them better than advertised.

It's an excellent helmet but the sound quality on the speakers inside aren't that great.

I had an issue with the my full refund for the Sena Outrush R Modular Helmet. I had to return it. The helmet was too small for me. The flip kept sticking. It was hard to remove the helmet. I reached out to customer service at Taylored Specialties. The seller replied to my message immediately. The seller made sure that I received my full refund. I ordered a Sena Outrush 2. I'm very happy with the purchase.

Great helmet but right speaker stopped working. For the price you'd think the tech would last longer than a couple months

Does it perform like my old trusty Shoei, no. That helmet has less wind noise and performs better at high speed. Is the audio quality excellent, no. Very little bass, kinda trebly, distorts at full volume- but I’m an audiophile (car, truck, and house all have upgraded audio). That being said, this is a most excellent helmet for the price. Modular system works very well: easy on and off, simple to flip up to communicate or take a sip of a beverage. Coms work excellent! Huge range and clear voice. Calls are hard to take, too much road nose comes though at speed, but it does work in a pinch. Skip the wave app, stick with the Sena app. Built in, flip down sun glasses work well. Also fits my daily glasses or sunglasses as well. Easy to take apart and clean. Best bang for the buck in my opinion

I bought the helmet and it was too small to be xxl The dimensions on the product details is not accurate Immediately I request a refund I returned the helmet it’s been almost now three months and I haven’t received any refund
