Not everyone in the audio device manufacturing ecosystem empathizes with cyclists. Which is why we take much joy in finding this utilitarian Bluetooth headset. The LBT-ESP01 headset is specially developed to be accommodated around a bicycle helmet. It fits snugly around the rider’s neck after being mounted on the strap of the helmet. It is also compatible for calling, thanks to an accompanying noise-cancelling microphone. While cycling requires a fair amount of ambient sound from the natural surroundings to be heard, it will be best advised for riders to ensure lower volumes on the headsets. The LBT-ESP01 headset is compatible with Bluetooth 4.0 and lower devices and comes in black, pink and red colors.


Also announced were two more models that come with a cool transmitter for television viewing. These NFC-equipped devices can be paired with your smart phone to transmit data across. The cycling headset retails for 9,980 Yen ($80) while the television viewing headsets cost around 11,980 Yen ($97).
