The BlackBerry folks have released a new Bluetooth headset that has an interesting feature. The HS-500 headset does all of the normal Bluetooth headset functions you expect, making hands-free calls, voice dialing, all of that. What RIM has added to this headset is automatic volume control. The HS-500 has noise cancellation, a pretty standard feature, and according to the company it automatically adjusts the in-ear volume in noisy environments. That’s pretty cool. $80.
