Tue, 26 Jan 2010, 17:37:27 EST

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Jan. 26 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- iMC Motorcom


announces 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® iPhone and other 3.5 mm (standard stereo headset jack) equipped cell
phones, including the Palm® Pre™ and Blackberry® Storm™.

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.

Features:
• Compatible with Apple Voice Control (iPhone 3GS and iPod® shuffle™ [3rd generation]).
• Headphone and microphone functionality with most 3.5 mm-equipped cell phones (see Product compatibility).
• Velcro® strap-mounted handlebar remote control button also runs basic iPhone music playback and provides additional
functions for most phones.
• Large diameter (36 mm) wafer-thin speakers (6 mm) provide unsurpassed sound fidelity.
