Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Mingle Bluetooth Headset is a Fashionable Extension of Your Smartphone

— May 10, 2013 — Tech
Since mobile phone holsters were really never in style, the majority of people keep their cellphones stashed in their bags or in their pockets. The Mingle Bluetooth Headset comes in handy by literally remaining at hand, eliminating the need for you to fumble each time a call comes through.

The Quirky-made product is a sleek black device with one broad and flat end that tapers to a point on the other side. It's the perfect length to wrap around your wrist as a bracelet, staying in place with a spring-loaded hinge. Should anyone attempt to contact you, the wireless techie accessory will flash or vibrate to grab your attention. Simply open it up into its pipe-like form and use its built-in microphone and speaker to communicate.
