I trusted Shoei to get the same fit on a size large moto style helmet as on a road helmet. Perfect match. These are fine helmets. Recommend.
Incredible helmet. Super light and well ventilated. Went back and forth with Airoh, Bell, etc and glad I landed on the Shoei.
Great fit
Wow! This is some helmet! Outstanding craftsmanship and a perfect fit. I wear a medium and it is very snug but not uncomfortable. Plus it looks amazing in white! Solid, solid helmet!

I purchased this product after a generally happy experience with the 20S. I was very disappointed in this product and from the lack of support from Sena.
Pros:
- Mesh just works. But it kills battery life too.
- There are audio mixer controls in the app.
- Haven't tested in depth yet, but bluetooth audio quality may be improved from the 20S.
Cons:
- Increased startup time. All the beeps and notifications are different from the 20S for no apparent reason. Starts off by saying "Preparing headset" - my 20S said "Hello!," a little nicer...
- The 30K product page prominently shows a docking station. There is no docking station included in the package. Yeah, it's not on the "included in the box" sheet, but when there is no product page linked and no information about buying the charger separately on the website, that's a bit misleading.
- The app sucks. If the FM radio is on for example, changing any setting will jump to the FM radio afterward instead of keeping the settings window open. There is also a large delay between actions.
- Voice control is as worthless as it was on the 20S.
- Coming from the 20S, the "shark fin" thing is extremely annoying. I need to change how to operate the volume. With gloves on, it is not nearly as easy as the 20S was. The fin gets in the way of rapid control.
- The mesh button is difficult to operate with the antenna down. I can understand how this is intentional but with gloves on it is harder to release the antenna than it was for the 20S.
- One of the units was defective. The jog dial was not manufactured well and would stick while rotating. This would cause the button to be stuck (and do a press and hold action), or just not work at all, or have inconsistent response so I couldn't feel if I pressed it.
- The other unit was defective. Not sure if it was the base or the unit, but the microphone usually doesn't work and will cut in and out.
- Dealing with support about these issues was awful. Spent more time verifying purchase for a product that hasn't even been on the market for a tenth of its warranty period than actually resolving the problem. After over a week and still not having an RMA number (in fact not having any contact), I returned the product.
I might try again as my friend used one of the headsets and at least for listening to the rest of us on rides (but unable to speak back without cutting out repeatedly), enjoyed the unit. I guess what people say about Sena and new product releases is true.
