Sena 5S Bluetooth Headset
Sena 5S: High-Definition Communication for the Modern Rider
The Sena 5S Bluetooth Headset is engineered for the rider who values clear communication and intuitive controls in a sleek, modern package. Building on the foundation of the world-renowned 20S series, the 5S introduces a highly requested integrated LCD display. This addition allows you to verify your connections and settings at a glance, eliminating the guesswork often associated with helmet headsets. Whether you are a daily commuter or a weekend enthusiast, the 5S provides the essential tools to stay connected without the complexity of mesh systems. Its aerodynamic profile is engineered to minimize wind noise, ensuring that your audio remains the primary focus of your ride.
Crystal Clear HD Audio and Ergonomic Control
One of the most significant upgrades in the Sena 5S is the inclusion of High-Definition speakers. These drivers have been redesigned with a beveled taper to fit more comfortably into helmet ear pockets, reducing the “pinching” sensation common with thicker speakers. They offer a marked increase in volume, bass, and overall clarity, ensuring your riding playlists sound studio-quality. To manage your audio, Sena has retained the classic Jog-Dial interface. This tactile wheel is the industry gold standard for ergonomics, allowing you to cycle through menus and adjust volume with simple movements—even with thick leather gloves on. Combined with Advanced Noise Control™, the 5S filters out the drone of wind and engine noise, ensuring your voice is transmitted clearly during 2-way intercom conversations.

Expert Installation & Performance Advice
As specialists in motorcycle connectivity, we recommend the 5S for riders who want a “no-fuss” solution with premium sound. Pro Tip: To maximize the effectiveness of the HD speakers, use the Sena Motorcycles App to access the integrated audio equalizer. You can toggle between “Bass Boost” for city riding or “Treble Boost” for highway speeds to ensure clarity. Fitment Note: The 5S includes both a hybrid boom mic and a wired mic; we recommend using the wired mic for full-face helmets to save space. Maintenance Note: Keep the LCD screen clear of road grime by wiping it with a microfiber cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that could scratch the display lens. Firmware Updates: Ensure your unit is always running the latest software via the Sena Device Manager to ensure the best Bluetooth 5.0 compatibility with the latest smartphones.
