The Bluetrek Metal's list of specifications leaves nothing to be desired. With a talk time of 5 hours and a standby time of 7 days, your headset should always be ready for that call! The unit measures .5" wide by 2" tall and has a thickness of only 4mm - roughly the same as 3 credit cards! As for weight, well, the Bluetrek Metal weighs in at a mere 5.5g or .19 ounces - VERY lightweight! It's Bluetooth V2.0 and has an approximate range of 10 meters or roughly 33 feet.
My Bluetrek Metal came with the headset, 6 different sized ear gels, a belt clip, 2 different sized ear hooks, a USB adapter for charging and a 4" extender, a car charger and a QuickStart guide.
At only 5.5 grams, this headset is ULTRA-light! Also, there are no less than SIX different sizes of ear gels included! THIS is what I referred to in my overview that makes this headset perfect for ME! The headset comes with 2 ear hooks, one slightly larger than the other - which makes wearing the headset more secure if you're worried about it falling out of your ear. I prefer not to wear the ear hook at all, as the unit just seems made for my ears and stays in place perfectly!
The headset comes with a belt clip, with an easy-release clip, which allows you the convenience of carrying the headset on your belt - OR clip it to your pocket, your sleeve, your purse, etc. The headset clips securely into the USB adapter which allows you to attach it to a USB port for charging. The USB adapter is also used to anchor the headset to the belt clip once the unit is fully charged. The built-in microphone is nestled along side the USB charging contacts of the headset.
After hooking up the Bluetrek Metal to the car charger (pictured above), I set off on a drive to Walmart. I had my wife call me on my Centro so I could answer the call with the Bluetrek headset. The phone rang and I hit the talk button, the middle button at the top of the unit, and was talking. The sound was crystal clear! The volume was a bit low, so I hit the volume up button, which is located beside the talk button at the top of the unit. This unit has plenty of volume if needed. Turning the volume down is as easy as hitting the volume down button, located at the other side of the talk button. For optimal effectiveness, I'd recommend angling the headset towards your mouth and also try to keep the headset from pressing against your cheek while talking. It works in either scenario, it just seems to pick up your voice better if worn as described.
