iMC Motorcom has just announced the release of the world's first iPhone compatible motorcycle headset: the HS-500. The HS-500 allows motorcycle riders to utilize the phone and music functions of their Apple(r) iPhone and other 3.5 mm (standard stereo headset jack) equipped cell phones, including the Palm(r) Pre(tm) and Blackberry(r) Storm(tm). The HS-500 features dual slim stereo speakers, a microphone, and a handlebar-mounted control button. The directional noise-cancelling microphone will give riders the option of communicating clearly with people who need to reach them on the road. The handlebar-mounted control button allows riders to take and end phone calls, play or pause music, and even advance and rewind tracks on their iPhone. The HS-500 will be available in mid-October for the retail price of $68 at motorcycle dealers already stocking iMC Motorcom products and online at www.imcmoto.com.
