Maverick Nica Sunrise v2 Bluetooth Headset Review

Filed under: Gadgets

Holy crap most Bluetooth headsets are awful to be seen in public with. Seriously, if you see someone wearing a Bluetooth headset who isn't on the phone, please smack them (for legal reasons I need to remind you not to batter or assault anyone!). Unfortunately, Bluetooth headsets are a necessity for many people. Either you need to drive while talking, or you just don't have enough free hands (I have four of them). So when you must use a headset, it should be one that offers a pain-free experience and doesn't look like you have a techno-parasite hanging off your ear.

The people at Maverick Jets say that they are already working on the second generation of personal jets (and we haven't even truly explored the first generation yet). The Maverick Solo Jet is designed to be the world's fastest personal jet. It has a Pratt & Whitney JT-15-5, at 3190 lb of thrust which sends the Solo up to speed of 472 kts. The Solo can also climb faster than other personal jets, nearly 8000 ft/ min.The cabin holds five adults. The Solo isn't cheap, it sells for $1.25 million. Maverick also sells the SmartJet which also holds five. It's a bit slower (250 knots at sea level versus 350, and a slower climb) and sells for $899,000.
