For the Schuberth C5 is bloody expensive, especially as half of the system is already installed in the helmet.
£350 is a bit much.

Schuberth SC2

- Start date
Agreed 100%
I am also annoyed that I would have to shell out yet again for the SC2 if I buy a C5 when the SC1A in my C4 has already cost me dearly.
Fair enough its new kit and presumably improved but why a total redesign, why not include backwards compatibility and let the consumer decide which unit to buy or re-use? I'd wager the internal electronics of the SC2 differs little in concept from the SC1A, probably just the inclusion of MESH circuitry. Bad for the environment and e-waste, great for stock values and shareholders.

Is anyone using one of these yet. I intend to buy a C5 with one later this month. That is providing the helmet fits me ok. I currently use an Interphone Active with my 2021 GSA TFT, which works perfectly. Hopefully the SC2 will be equally as reliable to connect and use.
I've just bought a C5 with SC2 - overall I am happy so far, I can't comment yet on the performance of the SC2 but I have two comments - the microphone on a stalk is an awkward fitting compared with the neat fitting on the side in the C4 Pro, and it's disappointing to have a separate (button) battery in the "remote" - I would have designed it to be powered from the main unit via a couple of extra wires in the helmet.
Oh - and if you come across a video by Champion helmets purporting to show how to fit the system, ignore it and go elsewhere - it's wrong on at least two counts.

Hi, I like you have interphone active I have a pair, one for me and one for wife, they have been great, simple to use and i like that they are waterproof. I'm about to buy a new helmet and leaning towards C5 with SC2I wondered were you able to connect/pair the interphone active and SC2, thanks. Steve

After trying on the Schuberth, and being disappointed with its poor quality feel, I ended up going down the Shoei Neotec 2 route, with their SRL2 kit. Both of which, I’m very pleased with.
Not tried pairing it with the Interphone, but may give it a go tomorrow (if I can find the instructions for both sets).

The Sena SRL2 in the Neotec does not appear to want to communicate with the Interphone Active.
Thanks for checking that out, really helpful to know.
