Innovation. In today’s society, we are all looking for that next wave or “IT” piece of technology that will transcend mankind. In the music industry, we all want quality music and quality headphones that will deliver said music into our ears to enjoy. Now I know, we all flock to what is popular and has stood the test of time which is fine. But how many times do we turn a blind eye to a product and all it delivers. Well, there isn’t a need to turn a blind eye anymore as we have the answers to all your troubles.
Here is ‘Vinci’, A.I. (artificial intelligence) enabled headphones with smart, superior sound quality that serves as a personal assistant. This is just scratching the surface on the technology these headphones are equipped with. Vinci’s patented biosensing engine provides personalized music experience in addition to 16 GB storage for standalone functionality. Yes, that means NO APP or DEVICE needed.
Max Wu, the co-founder of Vinci had this to say about the companies mission for users;
“We designed these headphones to completely integrate and improve people’s music experience, We envision Vinci transforming not just the way people listen to music, but the way people interact with the world while listening to music. With just a tap or voice command, people will be able to check the weather, get directions, or order a car all through their headphones, making this the easiest on-the-go listening experience – no smartphone needed.”
There are two versions, ‘Vinci’ and ‘Vinci Pro’. Their key features can be seen below. As for the company ‘Vinci’ and their headphones, they will start shipping early 2017. For those who contributed to their kickstarter which was looking to reach a goal of $50,000 (currently at 4x that amount), the early bird pricing is set for $99. Not bad considering all that you receive. The $99 is 50% of the cost so you do the math.
