New for 2007, the Audex Bluetooth Stereo System streams downloaded music wirelessly from a Bluetooth-enabled phone to an Audex jacket. Users can listen to music and make calls with a push of a button on the jacket sleeve and includes built-in DJ-style speakers in the hood and/or an integrated headphone jack.

Burton-owned impact protection company R.E.D. also partners with Motorola to offer two helmet styles and one beanie style that feature Bluetooth technology, allowing users to pick up calls and listen to music from a compatible mobile phone without taking off the hat or helmet.

"The second generation of Audex products represents a strengthened commitment between Motorola and Burton to offer snowboarders new technologies that will enhance and simplify life on and off the mountain," says Bryan Johnston, Vice President of Global Marketing at Burton. "Audex technology is now offered in more Burton jackets, packs, apparel and accessories than ever before, giving riders plenty of tech and style choices."

ipods and snowboarders seem to go hand in hand. All the pros are competing with chords running down their jackets. it's was just a matter of time before someone branched out. they helmets look cool, but i'm not so sure about some of those plaid jackets.
