Some users cannot go to sleep without listening to their favorite radio show, watching TV, or reading a few pages of their favorite book until they drop. However, other people they need absolute silence to be able to fall asleep and thus be able to rest peacefully all night. The audio firm Bose has launched a fundraising campaign on Indiegogo to launch headphones that isolate us from any sound around us. Bose has enough money to be able to take a chance and launch this product directly to the market, but through a crowdfunding campaign not only does it obtain the money necessary to manufacture the device, but it also ensures that it is an excellent idea.
Bose's goal to start making headphones that isolate us from the environment was $ 50.000, but with 21 days still to go until the proposal is finalized, the campaign has raised almost 500.000 dollars, 1000%, compared to what was planned. As we can read in the campaign, these headphones, in addition to including a noise cancellation system (Bose has been one of the main developers of this system), is also responsible for emitting "silence" in the background, so that no noise that can be generated in our environment while we make use of them can wake us up.
The Bose Sleepbuds, connect to the smartphone and through the corresponding application we can configure our sleep experience, selecting different types of white sounds, the volume and the duration of the same. It also allows us to set an alarm that only users who are using them will hear, a fantastic idea for all those who wake up much earlier than their partner and do not want to wake them up when they get up. The battery of the Sleepbuds lasts for two nights and can be charged directly through the box to store them and transport it.
Lose Bose Sleepbuds will be released next year at a price of $ 249.
