Fire up your impulse engines and head over to Thinkgeek right now, as to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Star Trek ThinkGeek has magicked up a real life Star Trek TNG Bluetooth® ComBadge which is fully functional as a Bluetooth headset and also supports voice assistants such as Cortana.

ODM Fametek was hired to produce the fully-functioning officially-licensed communicator badge. It hooks up to your phone or device via Bluetooth® and has a built-in microphone for hands-free calling. Once connected, one touch answers/ends calls, plays/pauses audio, or accesses Siri, Google Now, or Cortana. And, of course, a touch also plays that classic communicator sound effect.

We are not sure, but we assume it would work equally well on your PC as your phone, which should somewhat limit the shame delivered to your spouse. Final specifications are still also subject to licensor approval.
