WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesùs.
STREAMZ™, a Mozaex® spin-off company, announced today it has released the world's first smart streaming headphones called STREAMZ™.
STREAMZ are breakthrough headphones that allow you to play music and
audio from multiple sources, including onboard stored music, streaming
online radio, streamed phone music, plus audio from your TV, movie, and
game player.
The company will be demonstrating STREAMZ and their BLUWAVS 7.1 HDMI Surround headphones during the 2014 CES Expo, held in Las Vegas from January 7–10, booth #54009 (inside the iLounge of the LVH Hall).
STREAMZ Headphones Offer Simplicity and Value with Multi-Device Playback
With its built in Android processor, WIFI, Bluetooth, and storage,
STREAMZ simplifies and enhances the entertainment experience when
enjoying streaming or stored music, movies, games and TV shows.
"When it comes to entertainment there is only one thing more valuable than free, and that is simplicity," said STREAMZ CEO Douglas Kihm.
"You no longer need to bother with a separate player since it's all
built inside. Many people don't want the hassle of carrying, connecting,
and draining the battery of their phone or music player. STREAMZ
replaces multiple headphones so that you can enjoy all of your
entertainment from any device with one simple-to-use pair of
headphones."
First Headphones to Incorporate Both Auto Detect WIFI and Bluetooth
STREAMZ makes listening to any source of music and audio fast and
easy. STREAMZ incorporates both Smart WIFI and Bluetooth interfaces
that auto detect and connect to your WIFI internet hotspot, a Bluetooth
device such as a Smartphone, or with an optional module your Bluetooth
enabled AVR receiver.
Built-In Music Player, HIFI DAC, and Two-Way Speakers Deliver Unmatched Sound Quality
With STREAMZ, people can now enjoy the ultimate in simplicity and uncompromised sound quality.
STREAMZ are based on patent-pending Smart Headphone technology that
uniquely delivers higher fidelity music and audio than traditional
headphones. STREAMZ are the first headphones to incorporate a music
player, a 48 kHz/16 bit CD quality Digital Analog Converter (DAC) plus
individual 3 Watt vibration drivers and 160 mWatt dynamic amplifiers.
With its built-in DAC and AMP, STREAMZ delivers CD quality sound with
optimum dynamic range, equalization, and amplification which results in
incomparable clarity and fidelity. The two vibration speakers uniquely
deliver high power and low frequency range audio that you can literally
feel.
Since most phones and mobile music players have sub-par quality DACs
and amps, they are unable to play true FLAC, ALAC, and WAV CD quality
music without adding cumbersome external components. To address this
problem, the company built the finest quality audio components inside
the headphones.
Unique High Powered Vibration Speakers Reduce Headphone Pressure and Discomfort
Traditional headphones require an uncomfortable amount of pressure on
your head and ears to achieve optimum sound quality. STREAMZ's
vibration speakers achieve the same or better sound quality than
traditional headphones with little or no head pressure being applied,
which results in exceptional comfort.
The four speakers are arranged as bi-amped, two-way speakers with two
vibration speakers, and two 50mm dynamic speakers. STREAMZ has soft
over the ear leather cushions with collapsible frames and are designed
for active, mobile use.
STREAMZ Patent Pending Technology Addresses a Unique Fast Growing Premium Niche Market
STREAMZ addresses an un-served market in the "premium" ($100+ USD)
headphone niche, where people want simpler "in-line play controls" to
listen to their music, wherever they are and from any device.
The market for headphones continues to experience high growth,
especially in the premium sector. Global headphone sales in 2013 were $7B
(USD) with a growth of 20 percent per year. According to The NPD
Group's Retail Tracking Service, "U.S. sales of premium stereo
headphones ($100+) grew 25 percent in units in Q1 2013 year-over-year,
accounting for 95 percent of the revenue growth for the total headphone
market."
According to NPD , "more than one-in-three premium buyers cited
in-line play controls as 'extremely' or 'very' important in their
decision to buy…". As Ben Arnold, director of industry analysis at NPD
explains, "Consumers are looking for ways to get the best audio
experience no matter where they are or what device they are using."
Continued Arnold, "In fact, features designed to enable easier mobile
playback are impacting premium headphone purchase decisions more
heavily."
STREAMZ meets these needs with the ultimate in simplicity, in-line controls, device compatibility and quality.
An SDK and a Kickstarter STREAMZ for App Developers Will Soon be Announced
"STREAMZ is 30 years in the making since founding my first company in
1983," explained Kihm. "We are all visionaries of sorts here at
STREAMZ, with a passion to invent and share something amazing with
consumers and other developers who share in our desire to design
products that will make people's life simpler and more entertaining. To
that end we plan to release a STREAMZ App Software Developers Kit (SDK)
on Kickstarter along with a specially priced development model of
STREAMZ. We anticipate that the SDK will spur the development of dozens
if not hundreds of new STREAMZ Smart Headphone Apps, including voice
activated Apps and interactive social and informational Apps."
