While wireless headphones and earbuds offer unprecedented convenience and fun, most of the wireless headphones on the market today have batteries that leave a lot to be desired. But a new set of wireless headphones currently seeking funding on Kickstarter promises something different. Meet Firefly, a pair of earbuds that sport premium graphene sound, an ambient sound feature that actually allows some outside noise to come in to help you remain aware of your surroundings, 16 hours of playtime, and most importantly, fast charging capabilities.
With the new FireFly Wireless Earbuds, 10 minutes of charge time will give you up to two hours of playtime. Alternatively, if you leave your Firefly in its charging case for 30 minutes, you should get up to four hours of use.
The FireFly Wirreless Earbuds connect to your mobile device via a Bluetooth 5.0 connection, so signal is pretty good. In fact, the range of these earbuds is over 30 feet, so even if you leave your phone at your desk, you should be able to keep your conversation going while you walk around the home or office.
The Firefly earbuds are also super comfortable, and with 16 hours of playtime, that becomes important.
As for sound quality, the Firefly leverages graphene in order to build a sturdy nanomembrane, which is 100 times harder than steel, but at just a fraction of the weight. This is said to boost sound quality, enhancing the treble while isolating noise, and generally improving the listening experience.
The FireFly Earbuds are also compatible with both Google Assistant and Siri, and you can quickly access your A.I. assistants via a single tap.
The Firefly Earbuds are designed to go with you in a wide range of activities and has a waterproof rating of IPX5. If you’re interested in the Firefly, a pledge of $59 should get you a pair by July 2018.
