Bushnell Launches Wingman HD: The Next-Gen GPS Golf Speaker

Bushnell has unveiled its latest innovation in golf technology, the Wingman HD, a GPS speaker designed to enhance the golfing experience with real-time insights and a touch of entertainment. This new device serves as both a Bluetooth speaker and a GPS rangefinder, providing critical data for golfers on the course.

The Wingman HD is an upgrade from the Wingman View, which was introduced in March 2023. This new model features a 3.5-inch color touchscreen that offers detailed metrics for over 38,000 golf courses worldwide. By utilizing built-in GPS technology, the device delivers accurate yardages to the front, middle, and back of the green, as well as information on hazards and distances to the hole. Golfers can choose to view this information on the screen or listen to it through the speaker, allowing for a seamless playing experience.

In addition to its GPS capabilities, the Wingman HD connects to a mobile app that adds functionality, including aerial flyovers of holes and detailed scorekeeping. The speaker features a semi-cylindrical design with two 15-watt drivers and a passive radiator, ensuring high-quality sound. Notably, the device is rated IPX67 for water and dust resistance, making it durable for outdoor use.

Dynamic Features for Enhanced Performance

One of the standout features of the Wingman HD is its Dynamic Audio Adjustment, which automatically adjusts the volume based on ambient noise levels, ensuring clear audio in various environments. Users can also customize their audio experience with Indoor and Outdoor EQ settings, enhancing sound quality depending on their surroundings.

The speaker allows for creative interactions, enabling users to record custom messages or trigger pre-recorded sounds, such as crowd applause. For those looking to amplify their experience, up to 100 Wingman HD speakers can be connected simultaneously, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a packed sports arena on the course.

Bushnell is pricing the Wingman HD at $200, the same as its predecessor, making it an accessible option for both professional and amateur golfers seeking to improve their game.

This innovative accessory is expected to appeal to golf enthusiasts looking to enhance their performance while enjoying their favorite music during play. With its cutting-edge technology and user-friendly features, the Wingman HD positions itself as a must-have addition to any golfer’s toolkit.
