1, AfterShokz bone conduction headphones

Platform: Indiegogo

Fundraising: $620,763

Target financing: $50,000

Shenzhen Haoyin Technology Co., Ltd., the world's leading manufacturer of bone conduction headphones, announced that Trekz TItaniumTM, the new product of the UnderShokz brand of bone conduction headphones, was launched in North America on August 18th at 3pm. Open crowdfunding on Indiegogo, one of the crowdfunding sites, with the goal of raising $65,000.

Trekz design

According to official information, Trekz is a new series of AfterShokz bone conduction earphone products, which is not a substitute for the current Bluez series (currently the Bluez series has been developed to the third generation Bluez 2s, and its products will be fully available in China). After the addition of Trekz, the product line of AfterShokz bone conduction headphones will be expanded to three: Sportz, Bluez and the newly added Trekz.

Sportz and Bluez are very well understood according to the meaning of the word. The former is the main sport, the wired style for the entry, the latter is Bluetooth wireless, and the main high-end sports crowd. From the current sales situation, it is favored by people such as running and cycling. Plus, the Bluez 2 is also the explosion of the bone conduction Bluetooth headset. So what about Trekz? English Trek means long journey (you should know that the movie "Star Trek" is Star Trek), which shows that this series is mainly "to make you more comfortable to use bone conduction headphones for a long time." The first product to start crowdfunding on Indiegogo is Trekz TItaniumTM. Its earphone frame is made of rare titanium alloy, which not only greatly improves the firmness and elasticity of the product, but also reduces the weight of the product. The comfort of wearing can also be improved, and the "Trek" is worthy of the name.

According to the existing product design, Trekz TItaniumTM is also completely new in design compared to the previous Sportz and Bluez series. It is described by Steve Jobs’ first selling point “All new design” at the iPhone 4 conference. Not too much. From the design, the Trekz TItaniumTM has a slim rear section and a softer curve on both sides of the headset. With the new color scheme (Ivy Green and the newly added Ocean Blue) and the high-grade feel and texture contributed by the titanium frame, Trekz TitaniumTM has a significantly higher value. Perhaps this is also the reason why everyone is more willing to wear it for a long journey.

In terms of performance, Trekz TitaniumTM uses Bluez 2s PremiumPitch+TM technology, supplemented by dual microphone noise reduction, ensuring clarity for both music playback and voice calls, officially claiming Crystal Clear Voice Call. In terms of music playback, Trekz TitaniumTM optimizes the new EQ settings based on the characteristics of bone conduction, which can improve the sound quality, especially the low frequency performance. In terms of waterproof and dustproof performance, Trekz TitaniumTM is IP55 certified, and there is no pressure on sweat and light rain during exercise.

For battery life, Trekz TitaniumTM is more than 6 hours. But with reference to the actual life time of Bluez 2, it can be said that this number is conservative (most users of Bluez 2 report that with normal volume, Bluez 2's battery life can easily exceed 8 hours, even break 10 hours), for For most outdoor sports, this time is more than enough. After all, not everyone has the ability to participate in “over-abuse” events like the 100km cross-country challenge. It can be said that Trekz has surpassed the Bluez series from the product itself, at least this Trekz TitaniumTM. In terms of specifications, it is a comprehensive evolution of the Bluez series. It is too appropriate to describe it with Evolu “Ti” on (yes, Ti on, titanium alloy is perfectly implanted).
