The musical soundtrack to your skateboarding just got louder with the release of the POC Receptor Bug helmet featuring Beats by Dr. Dre headphones.
One of POC's most popular helmet models comes with a remote control that is smartphone compatible so you can answer calls and scroll through your playlists using only the cord. This feature is useful when cruising so you don't have to fumble in your pocket and risk dropping your phone on the concrete.
With the addition of the top shelf Beats by Dr. Dre sound system, the Receptor Bug gets a big boost. This is the latest in a string of collaborations from Beats by Dr. Dre. Beats by Dr. Dre sound is also available on select HP laptops and the sound system for the 2012 Chrysler 300S.
