whenever he rocked his big headphones, the music leaking out in the room around him. urn down the volume
The same data says that 12 percent of children aged 6-19 suffer from hearing loss caused by bad headphone use.
There are a few headphones on the market claiming they can protect your hearing, but none of them were quite right for Kingsley.
Earlier this year, Kingsley and his dad who a 20-year veteran in the US consumer electronics industry put their heads together to produce he world safest headphones.
Their first effort, the Aegis Pro headphones, is now on Kickstarter. Along with serial entrepreneur Anthony Lye, the startup they co-founded, Aegis Acoustics, is on a mission to prevent further hearing loss among kids who love consuming their music with headphones.
Kingsley offered design ideas for the headphones and came up with the company name, Rayman and Anthony handled the business side,
and sound and audio tech specialist Gates Tan came in as CTO to tackle the technical details.
the Aegis Pro headphones don look like a particularly revolutionary product. It definitely a stylish pair of cans,
and a dual speaker on each headphone to ensure protection and performance. On the software side
The headphones also employ active noise cancellation tech to block out ambient noise. Traditionally, sounds from the environment seeping into our headphones make us crank the volume up to potentially unhealthy levels without even realizing.
The Aegis Pro features four built-in mics that analyze the user surrounding noise and reduce it using an opposite frequency.
Finally, performance is enhanced by the dual speakers in each headphone. Split into a low frequency driver that covers the bass and a high frequency tweeter that delivers the vocals
The headphones can work wirelessly via bluetooth, but also come with a 3. 5mm audio jack. Aegis says the battery can last for up to 14 hours.
and a built-in microphone for you to talk into. The company says it conducted several tests in reputable labs to determine the best way to deliver good performance
If reached, Aegis wants to pack higher quality speaker drivers into the headphones, promising better sound.
