I swear I found this a year ago! https://www.producthunt.com/post...
Great product anyway!
This is pretty awesome! As a potential customer what is the expected ship date for pre-orders?
@mark_donne Thank you for your interest. There are quite large numbers of pre-orders, so we are putting so much effort on manufacturing.
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?
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?
(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!
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 👏
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.
Thanks for the post!
Zungle is a startup company that seeks to revolutionize wearable industry by combining cutting edge technology, fashion and music into one wearable device. Zungle creates sunglasses with embedded bone conduction technology for listening to music or taking a call without headphones. Zungle has raised more than $2 million in less than four weeks on Kickstarter last year, recognized as one of top 100 Kickstarter campaigns
of all time.
I am a backer on Kickstarter and received my glasses this week. I was actually shocked on how tight and bulky they are. They are cool, but overall it is not something I would actually wear ( I think I fall outside of the target audience)
I need to put the volume to a maximum to be able to hear well, but they make also a lot of noise for the people around me. One of the things I am very considerate of is that I do not want to bother people around me.
Overall the quality is good, but for me this is a step down from my quality headphones & earplugs. I was impressed by the touchscreen tho.
I am giving my pair away as a gift for 2 teenagers, I think they will use this more than I will and I am excited to see their reaction.
I think this is a great first product, and it has a lot of potential to grow.
I was a backer on Kickstarter. Can't wait to finally receive my Zungle glasses. Was a bit disappointed that the delivery date is keeping pushed, but I know that starting a business is never easy. So let's hope I get them before the Summer :D
