Hi all, my sena sf2 has packed up after 2 1/2 years, won't charge anymore. Only use it for listening via Bluetooth for sat nav and radio. Any recommendations or ones to avoid? Looking at a cardo spirit, basic model., don't really want to spend loads if they only last a few years,maybe I was unlucky.
Ta!

Watching with interest as my Sena SF packed up last month after 2 years, same thing, just won’t hold a charge.
99% Sat Nav, 1% Music or Sync with friends.
Angling towards Sena ST1 at £149.99 but the stories of them filling with water have made me think twice (Even though never ride in rain, may get caught out one day).

I got rid of a Spirit HD I got as a pillion unit. Nowhere as good as our 5 year old Packtalk units. Also note the non Mesh units do not automatically reconnect which gets very wearingTa!

Bought a new battery and when i took it apart to change it had water in it, won't work with either battery so assume water has done it. I ride in all weathers so not very keen on another Sena after that, don't know if cardo any better, or a 40 quid chinesium job will last a couple of years.99% Sat Nav, 1% Music or Sync with friends.

My Cardo Packtalk Edge has had half a dozen good soakings since I got it. No issues. Mesh works well, great sound from the JBL speakers. Not cheap, though - I got a twin pack on Prime day with 0% finance.I got a cheapo pair of moman intercoms from amazon, think they're about £100 for the pair.
Used them for a year now in all weathers, did 1800 miles in a week in the summer and the only issues we had was a very occasional connection issue, usually solved by a switch off and on again.
The sound isn't great for music, but if the mrs calls me she says it's clearer than being in the car!
I do wonder what the benefits are of spending 3x the amount.

You don’t get connection issues requiring turning the unit to be turned off and back on again.Used them for a year now in all weathers, did 1800 miles in a week in the summer and the only issues we had was a very occasional connection issue, usually solved by a switch off and on again.

The sound is decent for music.
To answer the OP. We’ve had Packtalk Bolds for about 6 years now and if I had to replace them I’d replace with Packtalks again.
I had a pair of spirits. Mine were unreliable s
te that got returned.
Your luck may vary.
My group now have fodsports fx7 mesh units. They work very well and have so far survived scottish rain.
The fodsports gave a lot of hiss with my sennheiser earbuds, but perfect sound with all the other earbuds i have.
