While digging around DIGG, I DUG a cool upgrade for your helmet from our trusty sponsor Benchmark Helmets. Engadget give their take on this latest, greatest piece of high tech headgear and here’s what they had to say:
We’ve certainly seen our fair share of nicely-equipped motorcycle helmets, but Benchmark Helmets is looking to spruce up your everyday noggin protector rather than forcing you to buy a whole new one. Marketed towards “scooter and motorcycle enthusiasts,” the Camos lineup includes two new headsets that utilize Bluetooth 2.0 and support A2DP / handsfree profiles. Additionally, both tout waterproof housings and connectors, directional microphones with noise canceling technology, stereo speakers, and 10-hours of talk time (150-hours in standby). The BHS-500 is set to land for $149, while the $199 BHS-600 ups the ante by allowing users to pair up another BHS-600 for a “complete wireless intercom system.”
I think the most important thing here is the A2DP which means Hifi Stereo compatibility, so if your phone or MP3 player can pump out stereo BT sound, these babys can pump it into your ears. I’d love to give those puppies a whirl. The last BT headset I got from CardoSystems was great, but the mono FM only goes so far before frustration sets in.
Go here to buy them directly from Benchmark!
