[Bicycle] The "Blue Ticket" system has started! With noise-cancelling open-ear headphones, you can feel at ease.

MAXWIN has developed open-ear headphones that allow you to enjoy music while following bicycle traffic rules. They are designed to be attached to your helmet and can also be used for calls like an intercom. If you have a half helmet, you can use them on a motorcycle too!

The maximum operating time is 14 hours, making it long-lasting

Starting from April 1, 2026, you may already be aware that blue tickets (traffic violation notification system) will also be applied to traffic violations involving bicycles. Ahead of this, in September of this year, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department published a "Bicycle Rule Book," which states that open-ear type earphones do not constitute a violation.

This led to the creation of the next-generation open-ear type earphone "ID-TA100-PLUS." It can be attached to the chin strap of a helmet, achieving a maximum continuous operation of 14 hours. Additionally, it weighs only 42g, making it lightweight and comfortable, perfect for touring. Of course, it is waterproof with an IPX6 rating.

Even with strong winds, the sound is clear thanks to noise cancellation

Equipped with a DSP amplifier, the sound doesn’t become muffled even on windy days, allowing music and navigation voices to be heard naturally. For those who regularly utilize noise-canceling features or want to prioritize sound quality, this is surely convincing.

Regarding calls, it supports a distance of up to 100 meters even in environments without Wi-Fi. It can be used on mountain trails or forest roads where smartphone signals are weak. It will undoubtedly make touring with friends much more enjoyable.
