It is not the first time we mention BlueAnt and their bluetooth headsets, remember the BlueAnt X5?
This time they have come up with a device that targets a “small” population instead of the over populated market like normal headsets. The Interphone Handsfree & Intercom is oriented for motorcyclists and it is suppose to be used on different kind of helmets – full faced or open faced.
So, what is so special about the latest BlueAnt device? A lot of stuff:
water resistant, so no worries when it is raining while you are on the road
better than average digital signal processor, which means less exterior noise/echo to offer a better listening experience
intercom feature, this one is pretty good – if other motorcyclists have another BlueAnt device and are near you (490 feet), just start a chat session in a matter of seconds
bluetooth works with your cellphone within a range of 33 feet
compatible with GPS devices as well
good battery life – 10 hours on continuous talk (I wonder if anyone can talk for 10 straight hours non-stop) or 700 in stand-by mode
good sound and connectivity quality while riding at 80mph (or so they say)
the volume is adjusted taking in consideration the speed induced environmental noise
big button control which is easy to use even while wearing gloves
different features such as automatic voice answer, voicing dialing and redial functionality
For $190 it can be yours, that is, if you really need one.
