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 is available 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.
