“Since the inception of personal headphones, whether for the home stereo
system, the Sony Walkman, or the iPod, wires have always anchored us to
our audio devices. KANOA has redefined earphones by cutting the cords
completely,” said Cival Van Der Lubbe, CEO, KANOA. “Whether you are
running, biking, lifting weights, doing yoga, dancing, or even
snowboarding or kitesurfing, wires will no longer hold you back from
doing the things you love or ruin your posture and performance while
listening to your favorite music. KANOA earphones seamlessly integrate
into your lifestyle and help enhance any experience.”

KANOA Earphone Features Include:

Ergonomic Design: KANOA has optimized the earphone shape and
silicone sleeve design for a stable, secure and comfortable fit. KANOA
Earphones come with a variety of silicon jackets and ear tips, including
memory foam ear tips to be mixed and matched for a custom fit. With
proper fitment, users can expect to naturally isolate approximately 30dB
of ambient noise, resulting in a pure and immersive music experience
while avoiding damage to the eardrums.

Dynamic Audio: For an enhanced workout experience, Dynamic Audio
designs a custom playlist responsive to your body vitals. Taking into
account previous records plus current factors such as your heart rate,
your music will change in pace and volume appropriately. This will
optimize your workout time and keep you at an effective but safe level
throughout.

Superior Audio Quality: KANOA earphones are designed with
high-fidelity audio technology such as the latest in Balanced Armature
Driver technology for music lovers and audiophiles alike. The sound
profile of KANOA earphones has been specially developed and optimized
within the operating range of popular music genres. KANOA delivers a
full-range (20Hz – 20kHz) response with warm yet precise bass, smooth
mids and crystal clear highs. KANOA has also partnered with CSR and
integrated the aptX® Audio Codec, delivering lossless CD-like quality
music wirelessly to your ears.

Audio Transparency: With am ambient microphone on each earpiece,
this soundscape feature gives users the ability to control how much
noise is let in for greater environmental awareness or kept out for
enhanced music quality. For instance, when biking or running on a busy
street, users can hear oncoming traffic, all while listening to their
favorite music. The days of removing your earphones to hear what someone
has to say are long gone.

Bluetooth Enabled: Users will be able to control the KANOA
earphones from any Bluetooth 3.0-4.0 enabled device (smartphone,
smartwatch, laptop, tablet, etc.) A light-press button located on the
face of each earphone will allow users to easily control their music in
lieu of a mobile device.

KANOA App: The KANOA mobile app is optional but complements the
earphones with smart features, allowing users to change their audio
equalization and audio transparency settings. It also provides basic
battery life information and notifications.

Extended Battery Life & Wireless Charging: KANOA’s energy
efficient design allows for 4-6 hours of full playtime. KANOA earphones
come with a sleek portable carrying case that doubles as a charging
case, which supports up to 3 full recharges on the go.

Communication: KANOA earphones are equipped with an ambient
microphone in each ear allowing for exceptional voice call quality.
Easily take calls with the simple press of a button.

Durability & Robustness: KANOA earphones are fully dust-proof
and water-resistant.

“KANOA is delivering true wireless audio technology that the market has
been waiting for,” said Julien Blin, Managing Director of Gizworld, the
largest global wearables and IoT conference. “That KANOA is doing it
with style as well as substance gives these earphones crossover appeal
to a wide variety of consumers from everyday users to sports teams to
Xtreme athletes.”

A package of KANOA earphones consists of two wireless earphones along
with a set of accessories and a portable charging storage case. As part
of its pre-order campaign, KANOA is offering consumers a limited
opportunity to preorder the earphones at 50% off the $299 retail price.
