Jason Kiger, founder of Cherubs Audio (www.cherubs.rocks) Ceramic is harder than steel and the density acts as a natural noise isolator, keeping audio in and background noise out. The weight of the ceramic combined with silicone inserts means the earphones won't fall out during a gym class, and Mr Kiger said they are comfortable enough to wear on a long-haul flight, which is where the Cherubs idea began. "I was talking to another passenger about the sticking points with headphones and he mentioned the possibilities of ceramic," Mr Kiger said. "Three years of research, design, development and testing later, I've produced Cherubs. "We have enhanced the audio experience with high quality dynamic drivers and combined them with a beautiful ceramic design, it is a product I'm really proud of." Mr Kiger plans to retail the earphones for less than $60 USD, in a high-end market where competitors sell their ear and headphones for hundreds of dollars each. He's initially selling the product through a crowdfunding campaign at a deep discount. The campaign launched on Indiegogo today, where he's aiming to raise $30,000 USD to cover the cost of his first order from the factory and donate funds to rebuilding Nepal. Full details, specs and images are available on the Indiegogo campaign page which goes live Monday May 25, 2015: https://www.indiegogo.com/ End
