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 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 is available for the retail price of $68 at motorcycle dealers already stocking iMC Motorcom products and online at www.imcmoto.com.
