People talk about the fashion industry being obsessed with thinness, but it’s got nothing on the consumer tech industry. From TVs to mobile phones to Bluetooth headsets, companies fall over themselves to proclaim their new products the thinnest in the world. Does it really matter whether one model is 1mm slimmer than another? The marketeers certainly think so.
So, to the Bluetrek Metal, which at 4.2mm thick is apparently the latest ‘thinnest Bluetooth headset in the world’, at least until someone launches a 4.1mm one next week. Still, the Metal is about more than svelteness – it’s made “almost entirely” from aluminium, and has a “unisex” design. In comparison to all those other macho and girly headsets, presumably.
Other stats: the Metal weighs in at just 5.5g, comes with a mini-USB adapter to charge from your PC, and promises a talktime of up to five hours, and a standby time of up to seven days. Oh, and it comes in a choice of silver or black. The Metal is due on sale this month with a price tag of just under £30.
