  The BT10 MAX 4x" Dual Bluetooth® Headset offers extreme noise cancelling in a lightweight handsfree headset and with the ability to use it either with or without the 'headband' it is versatile as well," said Sam Esses, President, Powermate MOTOR TREND". It was important to us to design a headset that could stand up to long term use whether traveling, in the office or at home. And, our MAX 4x" technology ensures clear conversations for the headset wearer and their 'conversation-mate(s)' in spite of environmental noises. With our long-lasting, rechargeable battery, the 'in use' time can be up to 8 hours before the unit requires recharging. This means the headset can be used all day before recharging it.
