ROBN Smart Harness

Maker

The founder, Wilson asked me to check out the first prototype about a year ago. I was skeptical because I get annoyed by people blasting their music publicly, but was really surprised at the difference the wearer hears vs. people around them. It convinced me enough that I took a larger role and got involved in Robn and after rounds of prototypes, I think we've created a pretty stellar product. Now you can safely listen to music (or podcasts or calls) while you're biking or riding in the city and still be aware of what's around you. No earbuds to worry about falling out during a run. Or if you're on a hike you can still hear the sounds of nature on the trail, but maybe you need a little music to push for the summit. Plus LEDs on the back for added visibility at night. We've tested it on long runs (no chafing surprisingly), biking in a downpour, a bunch of electric vehicles (onewheel daily!), pretending to be cowboys on horseback, and even to the sky in paragliders. I routinely take calls on it while I'm riding and sound quality on the other ends is great, even with wind or some speed. The associated app also adds some metrics and the ability for hands-free group audio chat (think slack for audio). Or bump to the H2 for one-touch walkie-talkie built-in as well. Hope you guys dig as much as our team and community of early testers :)

How do you wash it?

@scottreyes easiest way is with a wet towel or sponge, but you could take the speakers and controller out and hand wash too - just have to make sure it’s totally dry before plugging stuff back in
