 BlueAnt has unveiled the Interphone F4 hands-free communication system for motorcycle riders--and at first glance, it looks brilliant. The system lets riders speak to each other via a wireless intercom, and also lets each rider make or receive cell phone calls using their voice--without having to let go of one of the handlebars.
The Interphone F4 comes with a main unit that mounts on a helmet, plus two earbuds on wires and a extra-long boom mic (pictured--helmet is translucent). Riders can answer calls simply by saying "hello." (I wonder if that means you'll have to say hello twice--once to answer the call and again to greet the other party?) The system also streams stereo music through A2DP, and supports voice dialing and redial.
BlueAnt designed the Interphone F4 to work clearly at speeds up to 110 mph, and can connect with other F4 units as long as bikers cruise within 1,640 feet of each other (just over a quarter of a mile apart). Each F4 will pair with up to eight Bluetooth devices, and contains multipoint technology for pairing with two of them simultaneously. The F4 offers 10 hours of talk time, 700 hours of standby time, and comes with a 2-year warranty.
The Interphone F4 is available now at www.blueantwireless.com for $225.00.
