Kim Poh Liaw — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 02:40:34 +0000

ModeLabs Group today announces the launch of the Bluetrek Metal, an ultra slim, ultra light Bluetooth headset. The Bluetrek Metal is a Bluetooth headset whose main used material is metal, it is extremely thin – 4mm thickness and very light; its weight doesn’t exceed 5.5 grams. Its battery life lasts up to 5 hours in talk mode, and more than 7 days in sleep mode.

Thanks to the use of metal, ModeLabs engineers rose up to the challenge of making an ultra-thin, slick designed and firmly modern Bluetooth headset. The Bluetrek Metal is discreet thanks to its comfort and extremely light weight, and suits perfectly the current consumers expectations. It proves once again the innovation ability of the group, both with the used materials and the design and technologies it was able to conjure explains Henri-Nicolas OLIVIER, CEO of ModeLabs Technologies.

The Bluetrek Metal is part of the Bluetooth products line developed by ModeLabs Group: the Bluetrek Bizz (3 in 1 USB headset), the Duo Stereo (mono and stereo headset) or even the X3 (water, shock and dust proof). Those products are already distributed by leading mobile phones retailers.

The Bluetrek Metal will be commercially available everywhere in France in June, and in Europe as well. It will be available with 39 euros (aluminium black+silver version) and 49 euros (silver stainless steel version).
