Cool indeed.

The way things are going, these may arrive before the Sena 20S does.

I'd be curious to know how long a charge will last. My hearing aids have bluetooth capability but using it drains the bateries at a fearsome rate.

They clearly state the battery life: Play time: 2,5-3 hours (double this if charging in the capsule)

That's confusing, but, then, I'm easily confused.

I understand up 2.5 to 3 hours, but what does "if charging in the capsule" mean? You can't use them while they're charging, so ......

Have I mentioned how easily confused I am?

At any rate, 2.5 to 3 hours is disappointing. A tank of gas could easily exceed 3 hours, then the only charge time you've got is the length of the gas stop, which wouldn't be enough.

Hence my confused smilie.

Furthermore, the capsule that is a handy carrier for your pocket also doubles as a charger, a magical charger that has no power source but perhaps has enough room for a AA battery to charge the buds. AA batteries are not a kick ass electron source for charging yet another battery or two. As soon as they sort out a wireless power source I'll be very interested.

It comes with a USB cable, so I guess that's how you charge the "handy carrier." Maybe it could charge in the fairing pocket while riding, but unless you're riding with some of those folks that have to stop often and picnic at every stop, keeping it charged will be a challenge.

Excellent way to fund an outstanding product

Going to be an early adopter for me.

This looks interesting but I see problems.

First, will it block enough wind noise to be usefull under a helmet?

Second, how do we control volume, pairing, AVRCP etc? Is there a remote control to go on the dash someplace?
