The Star Trek Communicator Finally Makes Its Real-Life Debut

Even despite being fairly established now, Bluetooth headsets just aren’t very comfortable to use for long periods of time. Frequently quite awkward, there must be a better solution for hands-free calls, right? A Californian based firm thinks they’ve come up with the best new method in the form of Star Trek-esque CommBadge.

CommBadge looks a lot like the communication badges used throughout the Star Trek franchise, with it basically being a miniature speakerphone that works at the touch of a finger. Allowing for hands and eyes free access to Siri & Google Now, the device enables you to send messages, place phone calls, and even schedule meetings.

The device uses Bluetooth as well as a powerful speaker to make it effective yet simple to use. Working alongside an Android or iOS based app, it’s easy to set up reminders, search for information, or simply call someone while on the move. Thanks to vibration and customizable voice prompts, it’ll even notify you of incoming calls or alerts, as well as if you’ve left your smartphone behind.

It’s the kind of gadget that’s going to prove most useful for those who need to keep in touch while out running or at the gym, given its highly effective hands free nature.

CommBadge attaches to your clothing via a locking clasp with the ability to replace it with a magnet for a cleaner look. There’s a choice of color too, ensuring you can pick one that suits your style.

CommBadge has until April 28 to run. There’s time yet to snag a black CommBadge at an Early Bird price of $85 with $90 buying you one in a choice of four colors. Further discounts are available for those who want to buy family packs. Why not pledge towards that Star Trek style future today?
