Wish Bluetooth headsets didn’t look like they came out of a Star Trek episode? That’s exactly the challenge that Maverick Lifestyle gave to the design firm Speck Design; design them a Bluetooth headset that wasn’t so Star Trek like but more like a piece of jewelry that was comfortable and effortless to use in a car. The end result? The Maverick Nica – the only compact open-air headset currently available on the market.

Features of the Nica include:

  • nica 4 Pure round shape which “enhances the way you look instead of intruding onto your face”
  • Open-air acoustics which means there’s no ear insert. A soft inner pad gently rests against your ear for maximum comfort
  • Spring loaded ear clip keeps the headset securely attached to your ear
  • Comes with a desk dock and car dock which the headset attaches to magnetically. Simply place the Nica on the charging dock and the magnetic system pulls the headset into position
  • Noise canceling technology
  • 13mm speaker
  • Receive calls while the headset is charging
  • Rechargeable lithium polymer battery
  • Sliding power switch
  • 4 hour talk time and 150 hour standby time
  • Charge in 1 hour
  • Weighs 0.5 oz
  • 30 feet operating range
  • Bluetooth 1.2 compatible

The Nica headset and dock bundles are available now at select Apple stores and on the Apple website. The nica is available for $119 while the desk dock sells for $19 dollars and the car dock for $39 dollars.
