PRESS RELEASE
Wired sport headphones combining premium sound with the ultimate level of awareness and comfort at an affordable price
LONDON, UK – 15, November 2016 – AfterShokz, the award-winning headphone brand known for its patented bone conduction technology, introduces Sportz Titanium and Sportz Titanium with mic. Upgraded to replace the previous wired models (Sportz 3/M3), the new wired headphones bring all the popular Trekz Titanium features to athletes and fitness enthusiasts at a lower cost.
“While wireless headphones have surged in popularity over the past few years, there is still a huge market for wired sport headphones,” said Kim Fassetta, Chief Marketing Officer, AfterShokz. “Sportz Titanium is a great option for those wanting to experience the benefits of bone conduction technology at an entry-level price point.”
Sportz Titanium headphones are designed to ensure the ultimate level of awareness and comfort—without compromising on premium sound—and are built with runners, cyclists and hikers in mind. Users can expect exceptional sound quality thanks to proprietary technologies such as PremiumPitch+™, which delivers dynamic range and truly powerful bass.
Sportz Titanium uses bone conduction technology to transmit audio waves to the inner ears through the skull, bypassing the eardrums completely. Place them on your cheekbones, just in front of your ears. This leaves your ear canals open, allowing you to remain alert and aware of ambient sounds while you enjoy your music.
Sportz Titanium are ergonomically designed to curl over the ears, with the wraparound headband resting along the back of the user’s neck. This lightweight and flexible headband stays in place even during rigorous activity and provides a far more comfortable listening experience than earbuds, especially when worn over extended periods of time. The small, in-line control box is strategically positioned to provide easy access to complete functionality so users can keep mobile devices safely tucked away during activity—power on/off, adjust volume levels, play/pause/advance music and make/take phone calls (Sportz Titanium with mic only) seamlessly. Finally, a water-resistant drawstring pouch protects the headphones when not in use and stores the charger and other small personal items. The only difference between Sportz Titanium and Sportz Titanium with Mic is the latter has a premium noise-canceling microphone that allows users to make/take calls.
Unique Features:
OpenFit™ - Promising uncompromised situational awareness and extended comfort in a revolutionary open ear design. That means individuals can tune in to their music or a call (Sportz Titanium with mic) without tuning out the world around them — vital for staying safe and alert while move through the day.
PremiumPitch+™ Sound - Bone conduction audio has earned a bad reputation due to a blend of natural sound leakage and weak bass. PremiumPitch+™ technology optimises the sound and includes additional features like LeakSlayer™ technology, which ensures music is directed exactly where it should be.
Titanium Frame: The backbone of the industrial design is a premium titanium frame, an element chosen not only for its strength and durability, but also for its infinite flexibility, which will deliver maximum comfort and portability.
Sweat Resistant: Built to power through daily sweat sessions and wicked weather.
Twelve Hours of Music and Calls: A single charge will reliably deliver twelve hours of music play and talk time (Sportz Titanium with mic only). You can charge fully in 2 hours, but a quick 15-minute charge provides enough boost to get you through a long workout or marathon call.
Noise Canceling Mic (Sportz Titanium with mic only): Noise canceling microphone excludes surrounding noise, effectively enhancing speech.
Sportz Titanium and Sportz Titanium with mic are available in three colours – Ocean (blue/black), Onyx (all black) and Lava (red/black). Both models can be purchased on the company website, MSRP £49.99 and £59.95 respectively.
