From a marketing perspective, get rid of the fraud warning when going to your website. It may have the opposite effect and deter people from continuing on to the rest of your site. It also would be great to have more generic colors and lenses. Not everyone is a college-aged tourist traveling to Ibiza for the first time. OTHERWISE, really awesome 👏

@rueter Thanks for the great advise!

@rueter Couldn't agree more. These look interesting enough for me to buy them, but given the color options, I'm going to pass.

Do they come with clear lenses to ace my exams?

(backer #129) I was super impressed with how you conducted your kick starter campaign - Kudos! The product is impressive, but in order to hear clearly enough to discern lyrics I have to position these low on my face - causing my ears to stick out like an elf. Looking forward to future versions with more flexibility and thinner arms!

Very cool

Thank you very much!

Great idea and good design. Ever considered going a version for jogging? What's the expected battery lifetime? Keep up the good work you definitely found something here.

@julien_meyland Thank you. Some of our colleagues are actually using them for jogging. The battery life is up to 4 hrs.

what's with the giant black and white anti-counterfeiting popup? Looks super shady and can't be good for your conversion rate... is it really neccesary?

@mdavep Thank you for the advise!
Mark Donne
This is pretty awesome! As a potential customer what is the expected ship date for pre-orders?
Sean Bang
Maker
@mark_donne Thank you for your interest. There are quite large numbers of pre-orders, so we are putting so much effort on manufacturing.
Tom Downs
Awesome idea- great design too! But how does bone conduction technology work exactly? Looks to me like they act more like speakers than headphones

@tom_downs95 Hi. Basically the bone conduction speakers send sound waves to your skull via vibration so that you can hear the sound even if you cover your ears.

LOVE the idea of this. 3 things that matter most to me: waterproof level (IP45 seems to be ok - wondering if I can wear it at pool parties or at Burning Man where there's tons of dust), replaceable lenses, and capability of design changes over time. Would like to see more styles. I've also tried bone conduction before and volume was an issue. @seanbang can you comment?
Sean Bang

@yozzozo Hi Matt. Even though it is IP4-5, we would not recommend you to go pool parties or Burning Man where you can harm the product. But it is sweat proof. At the max volume, the sound might leak like any other earphones.

Oh, how smart!

Good Job!

Sam Yamashita
It's very interesting. I want a glasse not sunglass with this technology.
Dario AppSapp
