The Runastic Head Sensor Helmet is a safe way for cyclists to listen to music or talk on the phone without worrying about their Bluetooth device or earphones flying off.
Equipped with an attached microphone as well as the Play and Stop buttons for music, the Runastic Head Sensor Helmet lets bikers activate music and answer the phone single-handedly with one simple touch. Included in the set is Bluetooth Smart Combo chest strap that has a GPS locator and measures the heart rate of the wearer. The information is automatically uploaded to the user's smartphone -- Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone or iPhone, though the final one is only compatible with the 4, 4S and 5 -- using the Runastic app. The sturdy headgear is not only great for cyclists but also hikers, campers and the outdoor adventurers.
