Bluetrek Metal Evolution Review
Wednesday, May 19, 2010, 6:53 @ i-techtalk
Bluetrek is one of the popular makers of the Bluetooth accessories and its products are well known for innovative solutions they incorporate. Bluetrek Metal Evolution is the new good looking hands-free from Bluetrek. As the name suggests, it has impressive metal body. It has gained popularity with its “dainty design”. The call clarity is good, but the not best. Bluetrek ensures it fits nicely into the ears. Its noise cancellation technology can work up to the range of 80db.
Design
The design of the Bluetrek Metal Evolution is simple, but more elegant. The look is evergreen with the shiny metal finish guarantying it. The hands-free can be worn without the ear hook and it offers additional 6 rubber tips of different size. So it firmly and comfortably fits your ears. The only gripe is its volume rocker, it is too tiny and awkwardly placed; it doesn’t going to matter much as you may not required to use it frequently.The Bluetrek Metal Evolution is charged through USB, but additional adapter is needed to attach accessory through hook. Unlike the Plantronics Discovery 925 and Jabra STONE, it can’t be charged while on the go. The Bluetrek Metal Evolution comes in silver and black colors. We liked both the colour schemes.
Performance & Conclusion
The Bluetrek Metal Evolution is ultra light-weighted, so it doesn’t create any problem even if you wear it for prolonged time. It is one of the most comfortable hands-free which we have ever tried. If you have big ear enough to hold it firmly, you don’t need to use ear hook. It is quite rigid and in-flexible. It provides the above average battery life of 4.5 hours of talk time and keeps the phone alive for five days in standby mode.The call quality is pretty good compared to most of the hands-frees which we have come across till now. Our callers sounded natural, loud and clear, occasionally their sound was slightly muffling. Callers at other end, complained that we sounded bit nasal, but they claimed everything was quite good on the whole. The noise cancellation technology works flawlessly without any glitch. Our callers said we sounded erm, “childish”.
The Bluetrek Metal Evolution looks spectacular like most of the hands-frees. But we felt it is relatively expensive, which costs you $80. If you are looking for elegant and comfortable accessory, then definitely you can go for it. But if you want excellent call quality and more battery life, then better off with Plantronics Discovery 925 or Jabra STONE. Still Bluetrek Metal Evolution is the best in its category.

Bluetrek Metal Evolution Review
Published on: 27 Apr 2010 by PhoneArena Team
Introduction and Design:
Bluetrek is a popular manufacturer of Bluetooth accessories and their products are known for the innovative solutions they integrate. The Crescendo makes for an illustrative example – this is a hands-free with functionality that can be expanded via applications, or more accurately, firmware updates. What we are going to talk about today, however, is an interesting designer model, the Bluetrek Metal Evolution. As suggested by its name, this is an improved, evolved version of the Metal that managed to gain overwhelming popularity with its dainty design. The new iteration adds noise cancellation technology that should be able to handle environmental din with power of up to 80 db.
We just have to admit we do like the design of Bluetrek Metal Evolution. It is super clean and simple and the shiny metal guarantees the gadget will remain all the rage and never go out of fashion in the years to come. The earphone can be worn without its hook (two hooks come boxed and they don’t look hallway bad) and you get six rubber tips of different size, meaning you will certainly find your best fit and easily. Our only gripe relates to the volume rocker that is absurdly tiny and uncannily hard to press. It’s a good thing you won’t need to use it often.

The Bluetrek Metal Evolution is charged via standard USB (or a charger with USB port), but you need an additional adapter that can be attached to the accessory via a hook, meaning you will be able to carry about the gadget suspended on your belt or fastened to your clothing. Unfortunately, it cannot be charged on the go, unlike the Jabra STONE and Plantronics Discovery 925.

The Bluetrek Metal Evolution is available in black and silver and we like both color schemes, so we just cannot decide on either of them. Hm, the silver goes perfectly with that nice shirt hanging in the wardrobe for months, but the blackcomplements that pair of jeans we got the other day…
Performance and Conclusion:
The hands-free is super light-weighted (only 5.5gr.), so it doesn’t create any discomforting feeling even if you wear it for prolonged periods of time. All told, the Bluetrek Metal Evolution is one of the most comfortable hands-frees we have ever tried. People with bigger ears might want to use it without the ear hook, because it’s quite rigid and inflexible. The battery should be able to provide 4.5 hours of continuous talk time and keep the device operational for 5 days in stand-by, which is slightly above average.
The in-call quality is above average as well. There is a bit to be desired with this respect, however, because our callers sounded somewhat muffled during the tests, although we could understand them perfectly. They said we sounded a bit nasal, but claimed everything was quite good on the overall. The noise cancellation technology works flawlessly, but tends to change people’s voices… our callers claimed we sounded, erm, “childish”.
Just like most hands-frees that are spectacular to look at, the Bluetrek Metal Evolution is relatively expensive and will set you back with $80. Is it worth the asking price? Well, in case you are on the lookout for a comfortable and elegant accessory, the answer is “yes, indeed”. Those of you who require better in-call quality and more robust battery (or the option to charge the gadget on the go) would be better off with the Jabra STONE and Plantronics Discovery 925, although both of them come with heftier prices. Still, the Bluetrek Metal Evolution is one of the leaders in its class.

iPadフィーバーで埋もれてしまう前に…。ShimoKen氏から頼まれたヘッドセットを買いにFry’sに出かけた際、自分のヤツも内蔵電池がダメになっていたのを思い出して物色。ヘッドセットはイベント会場とかで必須アイテム（両手が空く、騒がしくても通話出来る等々）なのでなんかイイヤツないかなと。
ShimoKen氏依頼のヤツはカラー＆デザインバリエーションがあるのでいわゆる「オソロ」にしても良かったし、彼はハードウェアエキスパートなので、オススメには間違いない。後は個人の好みと使い勝手によりけり…ということに。
個人的にヘッドセットに思うのは、付属品をどこまで省けるか…ということ。つまり、充電器を他のデバイス、例えばNokiaの携帯電話用と共用出来るとかが重要なファクター。折角ミミに付ける部分が小さくて軽くても、充電器が巨大だとゲンナリだし、なによりそうでなくてもタコ足配線になりがちなのだから、他のデバイスと共用な充電器であればそれに越したことはない。
今回ウチが買ったのは、Bluetrek社のMetal Evolutionで、既に発売されている（AppleStoreが入れているので日本でも購入可能）モデルの進化版で、マルチポイント（複数の携帯の同時待受）に対応したのと、ノイズリダクションが付いたのがポイント。特に海外に出た時、現地の電話番号と国内の電話番号の２つを同時に使うことになるケースが多いので、マルチポイントのサポートは大事。
もう１つ大きなポイントなのは、このヘッドセットはベルトクリップ型のホルダー（これもかなり小さい）にはめてあるアダプタを経由し、USBポートで充電するという部分。もちろんACから取る充電器つまりAC→USBタイプも付属しているが、USBで充電出来るのであれば、わざわざソレを使う必要はさしあたってないし無くすこともない。本体直接USBならもっと便利なんだろうけれど、ベルトクリップが結構良く出来ているので持ち歩きはソレに差し込んでおく…ということを考えると、アダプタは問題にはならないだろう。
ヘッドフォン部分がカナル型というのも個人的にポイントが高い。どうも耳掛け式は咄嗟に付けられなくてイライラするし、平型（iPodのヘッドフォンみたいなタイプ）は落ちそうで怖い。個人差があるのでここいら辺は参考にはならないだろうけれど…。まぁ耳掛けアダプタとかサイズの違うパッドとか付属しているので、場所にあわせて使い分ける…なんてことも出来て便利。
後はどれだけ格好よさげかってのも大事なポイント。ミミに付けるものだし、これが結構目立つからねぇ…。まぁ日本の屋外で付けていると相変わらずただのヘンな人だけれど、イベント会場とかだったらそれなりに付けているのでえーかと。
昔と違ってBluetoothヘッドセットはかなり普及してあれこれ便利になった。価格も安いのは数ドル程度からあるので選り取りみどり。自分に合ったものを探すのが大変だけれどね…。

April 3rd, 2010 あのヘッドセットはノイズキャンセラーが恐ろしく強力なのと、Powerスイッチがアナログ式。充電がmicroUSBってのが決めてです。開けてみても良いよー。V.J.Catkick
April 3rd, 2010 なるほど…ノイズキャンセルが強力なのはえーねー。まぁ値段も値段だからか…（笑）。
April 3rd, 2010 んだよ。ウチは初代と2代目を使っているけど、自転車やオープンカーでも普通に通話できるのが良いっす。
骨伝導も応用しているので使っているので音もクリアだし。何やら米軍の技術らしいし。
April 4th, 2010 確かにオープンカーとか風当たりが強いと、骨伝導とかの技術使っているヤツが便利そうだぬー。要レビューエントリ（笑
