In Insert Coin, we glance at an exhilarating new tech project that requires funding before it may hit production. If you would like to pitch a project, please send us a tip with “Insert Coin” because the subject line.
Hall and Oates Saxton’s rationale behind ODDIO1 is inconspicuous — an excellent-light, comfortable pair of headphones (nylon plastic outer shell and soft high-grade silicone inside) which you can use when you are taking things to the acute. The pair has an exceptional pedigree, too: they have been turning out designs for Nike, HP and Nokia for the decade. They’ve done the labor so all you’ll want to do is strap the shuffle throughout the holster, stick it to your head and rock those tunes like your life will depend on it.
Let’s be honest, this ain’t exactly rocket science here, the ODDIO1 packs a couple of 30mm dynamic audio drivers, has an adjustable headband and is derived in three colors — grey / black, black / blue and black / pink (oddly, the good pair of the 3). Since the headphone jack remains to be accessible, you may sync your shuffle with iTunes with no need to rip it out of its holster.
Currently the project has $2,168 toward a planned $45,000 goal — that is required to shop the production tooling and additional development of the device. The purpose is that the ‘phones will retail for $50 after they reach general sale, but only $35 in case you pledge now (two pairs for $65 and 3 for $95). Throwing in $200 gets you the trifecta of standard headsets, a limited edition white version, t-shirt and iPod shuffle within the color of your choice. In case you wanna get donating, head on right down to our source link to deliver your hard-earned into the hands of those gentlemen.
Previous project update: Jason Gidding’s beautiful glass multi-touch keyboard raised $63,287, well beyond its original goal of $50,000, you guys clearly love the concept of a keyboard that’s proof against biscuit crumbs.
