Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Stylo Bluetooth Headset is a Contemporary Communication Tool

— September 10, 2012 — Art & Design
The general trend has been towards producing smaller and smaller wireless mic and speaker devices, yet the Stylo Bluetooth Headset makes no apology for its lengthy size. The gadget is already compact enough that it's convenient to carry around and still effective to use and, frankly, much harder to lose!

Protruding from the tiny alumite-finished pipe is an earbud and an ear hook to keep the Nendo gizmo in place when in use. The apparatus was developed for Logitech, yet it embodies a more industrial quality than you would usually find from that brand. A segment of slender aluminum tubing makes up the body of the Stylo Bluetooth Headset so that it begins to resemble a ballpoint pen. The French translation of this implement is where the Stylo got its name. The reference makes a comment on the modern means of written and verbal communication.
