Hi-tech phone set is a sound choice

Listening to music on your phone and taking hands-free calls can be a tricky business in the car, involving various leads and wires. But Bluetrek says you can do it all with its new Duo Stereo.

The hook design ensured the headset was comfortable. And while some testers found the separate earphones a bit awkward, they cancelled out background noise well.

This was particularly useful when listening to music, and they produced a clear sound, along with punchy bass. The quality of phone conversations was impressive, too, with good noise cancellation and clear audio.

However, the single-function button was hard to use, and it had to be depressed for a while for some actions. The volume control did synchronise with our mobile’s, though. Overall a great bit of kit, held back only by minor failings.
