Bluetooth: Helmet by BMW

BMW Motorrad WCS-1 System 5 Bluetooth Helmet
Really nice. Not that innovative (there are other helmets with Bluetooth integration in the market) but really nice as their 2-wheel-vehicles is BMW's new head protector WCS-1 System 5.


Using a two-microphone array up front, you can talk to a passenger sitting behind you or another rider that's less than 30 feet away. It has a simple three-button control panel on the outside of the helmet, and you can hook it up with a Bluetooth phone or MP3 player, or listen to directions from a GPS system. Effective at speeds up to 90 mph-which would be the last place you'd want to be encumbered by a bunch of wires- it lets you stay in touch even while gunning that crotch rocket.


Really nice - sometimes. There is just one thing: sometimes you get on your bike because there you don't have to listen to anybody or pick up the phone.
