Tune out distracting workplace noise with the Orosound Tilde earphones
With adjustable noise cancellation, the user can use a slider located on one of the pebbles to adjust the volume of ambient noise from zero to 30 dB. The multipurpose Bluetooth connection can be used to optimize phone calls while blocking echoes as well as ambient sound or to listen to full-quality audio.
A micro-USB port connects to a battery charger for up to 20 hours use in noise management only or eight hours with what Orosound describes as “heavy use” with both noise management and a constant connection to Bluetooth-connected devices.
Orosound expects to ship the Tilde earphones in May and is launching the Kickstarter campaign to start large-scale production and marketing. Tilde’s retail price on product launch will be about $320. During the campaign the Kickstarter special price will be about $200 with a limited number available at Super Early Bird ($160) and Early Bird ($175) prices.
