Hi guys and sorry for my long silence, but I have been heavily sick the last 2 weeks. My whole family was sick, sone weird virus is going around here. I didn’t hear well these days as my ears, nose and throat were completely blocked, therefore I couldn’t even do anything sound related.

But I am finally starting to feel better, and I will keep you posted once I fully recovered.

I am expecting 4 new headphone samples to arrive next also a sample with bigger pads this time, so I will have to do further analysis on how these may impact the final response aside of comfort etc.

Once I have fixed all issues and can be sure the final product will be great, I will probably start some Kickstarter campaign in order to be able to finance the production.

I still have to prepare the whole campaign, design the logo etc etc, so there is some more work to do before everything can get real. But I am pretty satisfied with the result so far and just need to fine tune everything. I may also need your help in choosing the final color for the headphone as there will be only one color option available, otherwise I would need to to produce way more units for each color which is just not realistic.

Thanks for you support so far. Please let me know in the comments if you have some interesting news.

Cheers, O.

Glad to hear you’re on the mend. Going to be boring, but black or silver (most likely the former) is always going to be the more favoured colour option.

I wonder would the cost for batches of headphones is in that would a proper pyramid scheme be beneficial where fans could buy in bulk and resell🤔

S. Ayar

If it's only one color option then for sure it must be black. I can't imagine anyone will avoid it because it's black, but some might not buy it because it's white or silver. Like me for example.

Calzone

While I personally wouldn’t mind lemon yellow and a non-standard color would help your headphones to stand out and get more attention, I agree that black is the safest color and would probably be the rational choice considering the small batch and the uncertain situation overall.

Only 1 batch will be produced, maybe just 250 units maybe 500. It will depend a lot on the amount of pledges.

Hartyewh

Would replacement pads be available to order with them? Might make it feel like a more long-term purchase for some unless the pads are easily available anyway.

Hartyewh

Yeah, if 500 units is meaningfully cheaper per unit then 250, but you don't quite reach it or another batch size then there's a chance some in the community would be interested in buying 10+ units at a price with which resale is doable. Something to keep in mind.

oluvsgadgets

Yes there will be extra replacement pads for order or as a bundle, and there will be cheaper bundles with 2 headphones etc

I don’t think I am interested in any resale by others. I was fucked by Earfun for years now, although I am also thankful to them giving me the opportunity to work on a couple of products. But finally I want to release an own product and have full freedom on how I will be going to offer it.

You could set pledge goal levels to offer other colors and stuff. Never know how successful the campaign will be. Offer couple colors if the campaign goes over 2000 or something.

Great to hear you and your family are better now and have a great Christmas time with your family. ……If there will be only one Color option, black is beautiful. 🙂

Hi Olaf, Frohes Fest sowie besinnliche und erholsame Feiertage für dich und deine Lieben! Ich wollte dir und Earfun, so wie viele andere auch, nochmal bestätigen das der Uboom x fantastisch geworden ist! Habe ihn seit 3 Tagen und genieße jeden einzelnen Song. Ich benutze ihn zu Hause im indoor+ Modus und bin begeistert von dem geschmeidigen Frequenzgang, gerade im Höhen und Mittenbereich und dem sehr detaillierten Sound. Ich habe dich auf deinem leider nicht mehr vorhandenen Youtube Kanal öfters für deine Aussagen kritisiert, aber mit dem Uboomx habt ihr einen rausgehauen, der seines gleichen sucht. Für mich das nächste Level was Hifi Klang auf Bluetooth Lautsprechern angeht, auch der breite Stereoklang ist unglaublich gut 👍🏻 Hut ab für eure Arbeit 👌🏻 Ich hoffe kommende Firmware Updates machen es nicht Kaputt... In diesem Sinne. Alles Gute und bleibt gesund und sicher 🍀🍀🍀
