In the 90s, when technology had not evolved as much as in recent years, Star Trek was in fashion and many high school classmates, at least the most fans, acquired a replica of the official intercom of the series, which unlike working as in the series, it emitted the typical sound that many fans of the series will recognize.
Technology has advanced a lot since then and now what is going to take is the intercom that the ThinkGeek company will launch on the market in November. We are talking about the Star Trek TNG Bluetooth ComBadge, a device that we can hang on our shirt and it acts as if it were an intercom.
But instead of communicating with the ship, we communicate on our smartphone. This little device allows us to pick up and take calls, pause and play music, call Siri, Google Now or Cortana (depending on the device to which it is linked)… In order to perform all these functions, the Star Trek TNG Bluetooth ComBadge incorporates a high-quality microphone so that we can be heard perfectly when you go down the street. This microphone has been developed by Massive Audio, so the quality seems to be assured.
This device has a range of three meters and the conductor inside the speaker is a neodymium magnet. The frequency response is 200 Hz to 20 KHz and the device has an audio signal greater than 80 dB. The body of the badge is made of ABS plastic and zinc. Attaches clothing to clothing using magnets.
The battery of this handsfree offers us an autonomy of 10 hours of conversation per charge, charging is carried out through a microUSB connection. The problem faced by users who want to have this device is the same as that of the manufacturer, which unfortunately to this day has not obtained approval from the owner of the Star Trek license, which could destroy this fantastic device , which will hit the market, if all goes according to plan, in November this year for $ 79,99.
And finally if it was released?
