There’s probably a law against launching a new
headphone line without the proper celebrity endorsement. Right out of the gate,
Muzik’s got ‘em in spades. The hardware startup is launching its first pair –
the fittingly titled One – and has already lined up a ton of endorsements,
including athletes like Chris Paul and Elena Delle Donne.
In fact, here’s a
quote Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller tossed our way about the cans, “I’ve
stayed close with the Muzik team through development and have been involved in
building the brand behind-the-scenes leading up to this moment (launch). I’m dedicated
to making Muzik One the best and now that I’ve found a product that I truly
believe in, I am excited to be all in.”
The combination of Muzik's software
and hardware presents a truly seamless way to integrate new technology into
sleek design with high-definition crystal clear sound for music, videos, phone
calls, and more. Simply pair Muzik One headphones via Bluetooth with the Muzik®
Connect companion app, available on The App Store for iOS, and begin
personalizing your listening experience.
The app delivers a
first-of-its-kind connected listening experience, empowering users to customize
the hot keys for instant access to cutting-edge features and unparalleled
functionality with Muzik One headphones. Through Muzik's software, the app will
identify any song being played and allow users to share songs to social media
in the moment.
"I've always believed that
headphones should be able to do much more than just play music," said
Muzik Founder and CEO Jason Hardi. "We created Muzik One to provide the best connected
listening experience with controls that enhance your smartphone and favorite
apps. When users connect Muzik One, the smartphone of headphones, they will
experience a new level of connectivity with personalized one touch hot keys
that control the things you love and do every day like a remote controls a
television or radio presets in your car."
The key selling point here are what the company
refers to as “hot keys,” which trigger functionality on a variety of services,
including, most notably, Spotify, with whom the startup has a partnership. The
keys can be used to access playlists, save songs, follow artists and copy song
links on the streaming services.
There’s a variety of other functionality as well,
making it possible to share music on services like Facebook and Twitter (who
also happen to be an investor), speed-dial contacts and get weather forecasts
among a slew of other functions.
The headphones are
launching for $299 a pop through Amazon and Best Buy’s site.
