Livall-ittle
Designed for cycling enthusiasts, every day cycling commuters, leisure cyclists, road racers and mountain bikers to help you enjoy a safer and more connected ride, the Livall BH60 Bluetooth Enabled Smart Helmet is the ultimate smart helmet for a truly connected ride.
How does it work?
There are two built-in Bluetooth speakers which sync with your smartphone to bring you the music you love but without blocking out the sound from your surroundings.
Did you know?
There’s even a hands-free microphone built in so you can stay in touch whilst enjoying your ride!
Any added extras?
Oh, just a 3-axis gyroscope. Or, in simpler terms, a smart feature that activates an SOS alert if you end up in an accident. (One to use if you’re convincing the Mr/Mrs that you’re treating yourself to this awesome new helmet).
Still not convinced?
Don’t just take our word for it…
***** Love being able to receive calls and listen to pod casts on my daily commute. Comfy and adjustable Happy to recommend.
Feel the rhythm
Boasting both accuracy and reliability, the Scosche Rhythm+ provides ultimate comfort for anyone wanting to boost their workouts by using heart-rate zones.
How does it work?
This comfortable cuff accurately measures heart rate with no chest strap required! It connects straight to your phone too, making it compatible with fitness apps and any low-energy BT apps like Strava, Endomondo, Runtastic, Mapmyrun, iCardio etc.
Did you know?
The Scosche Rhythm+ has a wider spectrum of light than competitors meaning it copes particularly well with darker skin or tattoo sleeves which can refract the signal and reduce accuracy.
Any added extras?
Well, this nifty gadget keeps going for up to eight hours so you can keep on going too!
What’s the verdict?
Easy to pair, very comfortable in use, very accurate with no signs of spiking! Simple in use, just an on/off button once it’s paired.
