Seeking review on Sena B20 vs BlueArmour C30.

[torquedthrottle]

Hola riders,

Need user specific reviews for the Sena B20 and BlueArmour C30, please. Some of us in Bangalore are wanting to make an upgrade from Parani A20 and the need is to have good mesh connectivity, so want to make an informed decision on this.

Let the comments come in, and thanks in advance..

In Hyderabad we are mainly using Sena and we have couple of users using the Sena B20 and it comes with Mesh. Sena's Mesh is brand specific and if others are also using Sena which has Mesh then range and connectivity is really good.

Tagging the B20 users @KilaruSrikanth @manthan

For reviews related to Blue Armor you can check once with @rajayyanar1979 and @zindadil

Okay cool, thanks @blackmatterenny bhai, so does Sena connect with Cardo or BlueArmour as well in mesh?

@torquedthrottle Any brand will only connect within their own Mesh. They do not connect with other brand mesh.

@torquedthrottle

Buy what your pack has (probably BlueArmour).
This way, during rides you will be connected with other bikers and participate in their intercom bakchodi among other information that is passed.

But like me, if you prefer silence within your helmet and only your thoughts for company, then buy Sena and enjoy the silence.

Bluearmour C30 is a good one. Sound quality is amazing. It can get connected to sena device on 1-1 basis. I had connected with another bluearmour C30 device and the intercom conversation are good. Price is reasonable. You can also check with @PWarrier on c30 reviews which he has been using for quite a sometime now.

Like @TheOne said, you need me time get along with any device (sena, bluearmour). But if you need bakchodi, go with what max members have.

Got C30 recently.
Deciding factors:

1. Much common among other riders so can connect.
2. Good sound quality (as per most of the reviews)
3. Value for money.
4. Design.

Will update with my ownership review once I use them.

Mumbai guys are facing issues with BluArmour.
From hard buttons (which they replaced for free) to disconnection.

Probably too late to comment here, but I love the battery of Sena B20. Used for a full ride during QCM, and after almost 14 hrs it was still at 35%. For most of the time it was connected to bluetooth as well (though was not using music streaming)
Also if you pickup this devices from PowerSports, Hyderabad in person, then they provide extra 5% discount

Hello Everyone!
Khama Ghani
Recently in our chapter attempt leg 1 which is approx of 1650 Kms, me and @ankush1044 have used Bluarmor C30 and here's user experience :

1. Connectivity : Not faced any issue while in range over ridegrid intercom to intercom. Though claimed range of 1.2 Kms (LOS) is still questionable. It worked flawlessly in the range of 800-900 Mtrs I suggest. Not faced a single issue of disconnection in bluetooth connectivity during the whole trip (used for 4 days).

2. Audio quality: Not used many but I think bluarmor is providing exceptional audio quality at this price point. Voice is clear and loud even at the high speed. (it may differ with Helmet, I'm using it with LS2 Storm). Music playback is also above satisfactory, considering it as a budget device. Highs and Mids are clear while Bass fades with higher speed.

3. Ergonomics: Buttons placement in circular way is good thought as it will help rider with identification during gloves on, but functional arrangement of Volume up & down through left and right button, and call merging function with double press of up button is something let down. Also buttons are hard to press and placement is too cramped, identifying and pressing specially double press during rides with gloves on is a challenge.

4. Battery life: Full day of ride intercom + bluetooth connected with phone, answering calls and music playback has only consumed 40% of battery. Always left with battery around 60 to 65% at the end of the day. Thus you can use it for two full day in single charge and throw everything on it.

5. Inter connectivity with other Bluarmor devices: As I already posted in chapter run thread, We rode with @kcna and @the.h.maverick from Indore to Sawai Madhopur. While Anand Sir has C50 and Sapan C30, All three are connected over private ridegrid connection. There were one or two occasional drop in ridegrid connectivity when answering call, which restored automatically.

Overall, I'm fully satisfied with the device. Full marks in Audio quality, distinction in Connectivity and features while grace marks in usability due to button placement and feel.
