Lazer’s VeloVox brings pro-peloton race radios to your group rides, enabling you to taunt those you’ve dropped hands-free.
The new two-part communication device attaches to your helmet straps and features an open-ear design that should keep you aware of your surroundings.
Lazer says you can use the device to communicate with up to 30 riders, and it enables you to listen to music or take phone calls when on the road.

Noise cancelling
While the VeloVox shares a similar sideburn appearance to the gimmicky Cat-Ears noise-reducing strap add-ons from the early 2010s, Lazer’s noise-reduction claims are about the microphone, not the earpiece.
The microphone is said to deliver crystal-clear audio with advanced wind and noise cancellation, ensuring your voice comes through clearly, no matter the pace or weather.
Lazer has developed the VeloVox in partnership with Cardo, which is well-known for making Bluetooth communication devices for motorbikes.
The VeloVox is controlled via the Cardo Connect app, which is available from the App Store and Google Play Store.
The two-part device is secured to each of your helmet straps. Lazer says it's compatible with most helmet and eyewear combinations.
Sitting on both sides of the helmet, the left-hand unit controls group communications, while the right-hand side houses music and call control.
There is also Shimano integration for riders who like to keep their hands on the bar, with the ability to use Di2 shifters and STEPS ebike systems to control the device.
Lazer says the VeloVox has 11 hours of battery life and weighs 19g per side.
If you’re worried about wet rides, the device is IP54-rated and has a two-year warranty.
The VeloVox charges via USB-C.
