ACHIEVEMENTS
  • 2-in-1 product Hybrid solution combining headphones and neckphone.
  • Road safety Designed for safe micromobility.
  • Open sound Enables audio sharing in teams or while commuting.
  • Virtual assistant Integration capability with virtual assistants.
  • Hearing protection 2-way security system to protect ears.
The device features a minimalist and sleek aesthetic, optimized usability through configurable buttons, interchangeable earpads, splashproof sealing, integration with virtual assistants like Alexa or Google, and a 2-way safety system with an internal sensor to prevent excessive volume exposure. The natural rotation of the headphones when switched to neckphone mode activates a confirmation button, allowing the user to enable this mode. The same internal rotation sensor automatically reduces the amplified sound required for neckphone mode, reverting it directly to headphone mode.
