Every so often, we hear of yet another headset manufacturer claiming that their latest piece is in fact the smallest / lightest / most incredulous the world has ever seen. With the introduction of ModeLabs’ Bluetrek Metal, you can rest assured that everything is still running par for the course. This Bluetooth headset checks in at just 4-millimeters thick and 5.5-grams, and we’re told that the internal battery should last through 5-hours of yappin’ or a week in sleep mode. Interestingly, we haven’t a clue if this one’s headed Stateside, but those in Europe can pop one in their ear canal soon for €39 ($61) / €49 ($76) depending on hue.

MSRP: £219.99
It’s almost crazy thinking about all that you can do with this sleek single-DIN CD receiver in Pioneer’s new line. The DEH-P700BT seems simple with its modern and eye-catching cosmetic design, as if were more flash than substance. But under the surface there’s a lot of functionality. Maybe more than enough! What do they say, too much of a good thing can be detrimental to your well-being, right? Of course, on the other hand, no one ever said that about money. So if you’re the kind of car audio nut that loves to connect everything you can to your system and constantly adjust your audio depending on the song (but don’t have the space for one of those luxurious double-DINs), well then, you’re probably going to love the 700BT.
