Single-ear Bluetooth headsets have created a world in which those that appear to be talking to themselves are no longer ostracized. That’s not to say that they are not annoying, just not seen as potential candidates for committal. What’s even better is that while some in-ear models have grasped onto the less-is-more mentality there are still a few manufacturers that like to flaunt their design outside of the canal. The latest design concept from Maverick is sure to please the eyes as well as the ears.
The Nica design by wireless headset makers Maverick has truly changed the way we look at Bluetooth headsets. Its sleek take on modern design has not sacrificed function. Sporting a way-cool compact cylindrical-shaped earpiece, it is a far cry from the awkward rectangular pieces running the market today. The ear clip is designed with a soft feel pad to prevent irritation. Some other features that you’ll dig include a power switch on the charging dock as well as a magnetic connection instead of a cord that prevents the two units from separating.

- Compact, open-air design (no ear insert)
- Spring-loaded ear clip for a secure, comfortable fit
- Noise canceling technology
- 13mm speaker plays crisp and loud
- Magnetic attachment to charging docks
- Two charging options with the Desk Dock (included) and Car Dock (sold separately)
- Receive calls while Nica is charging
- nicaConnectTM provides automatic reconnection to your phone when charging on Car Dock
- Sliding power switch makes it easy to see if Nica is on or off
- Fully charges in 1 hour
- 0.5 ounces (14 grams)
- Supports Headset and Handsfree Bluetooth profiles
- Bluetooth v1.2 compatible
You can use the car dock with any car’s cigarette lighter jack while the desk dock plugs right into the wall. The Nica has a 10-m/33-ft range and includes a rechargeable Li-polymer battery that supplies up to 4 hours of talk time and 150 hours of standby. You can get yours now for $129 at www.mavericklifestyle.com. The Car Dock will run you another $39. They even come in three colors – black, white, and the ever popular, pink.
