Using Mesh & Music not working together

I can play Spotify thru my R2X but as soon as I turn on the Mesh my music stops. Have researched to the point where I thought just asking here might be easier. I read that they should play well together but in my case the music stops when the mesh is on. When mesh is shut off music restarts. What am I doing wrong?

  Hi Craig,

  You aren't doing anything wrong.  Much as I hate to say it, the current lineup of Sena bicycle helmets do not support audio multitasking.  They did in the past, but the feature was removed due to the exposed mic picking up wind noise while music is playing and causing crackling sounds and distortion.  There was no acceptable solution to be found, as much as we would have liked to.

  Sorry I can't give you better news!

  No, unfortunately.  At this point in time, Sena does not allow device firmware to be downgraded.

  This also just happened to us. The whole reason we bought these specific helmets was so we could hear music and communicate at the same time. Is Sena offering refunds now that the helmets aren’t doing what we were told they would do?

  If the music stops as soon as Mesh is enabled, it could be a network or firmware issue. I'd make sure both devices are running the latest firmware, reboot them, and verify they're on the same Wi-Fi network. If Spotify works without Mesh but not with it, it's worth checking the Mesh configuration or contacting support.
