Meet the world’s first TWS Earbuds with Super Active Noise Cancelling that protects your hearing

Posted on by

Here’s a scenario. You’re in a cafe listening to a podcast or to music. It’s relatively noisy and to drown the noise out, you just crank the volume on your earphones. Although this works on paper, you’re causing incredible harm to your hearing because of those high volumes. The Serena Super ANC earbuds from Hear+Hi can prevent that from happening by drastically reducing external noise while listening. Using a proprietary Super ANC system thanks to two external microphones, Serena can reduce external noise by as much as 45 decibels, bringing loud sounds down to a manageable level. This effectively lets you listen to music or podcasts even in loud cafes, subways, or buses without having to damage your hearing.

They say prolonged exposure to audio above 80 decibels can cause permanent hearing damage – something that most smartphones caution you against with popup messages if you listen to something on high volumes. Gemini, on the other hand, just reduces external noise so you can listen to audio at its intended volume. Designed to look like a stylish pair of everyday TWS earbuds, Serena in fact comes with dual mics for its Super ANC feature, and dual mics for Echo Noise Cancellation, enabling crystal clear speech while on phone calls.

The ability to attenuate 45 decibels is rather new for a TWS earphone this small. Most earphones max out at 25 decibels (they can reduce external noise by 25 decibels), but Serena practically doubles that, thanks to the fact that its ANC microphone sits inside your ear instead of outside it. Keeping the ANC microphone closer to the eardrum means Serena is instantly able to do a much better job blocking out unwanted audio from hitting your eardrum.

The Serena comes with an in-ear design featuring silicone tips that help create a nice seal while listening. The earbuds are compactly designed, featuring a footprint that’s smaller than the AirPods Pro, given the absence of stems. They run on Bluetooth 5.0, for a strong, seamless, low-latency connection that works right out of the box, and the earphones have a run-time of 7 hours (5 hours with ANC) extendable up to 30 hours when paired with the charging case. You can grab your own pair for a 47% discounted price of $79 on the website, and get an additional 10% off using the code YANKO10.

Sleek electric q-tip gently cleans out the wax from inside your ear

Posted on by

I’ll just confess over here that I’m terrified of using a Q-tip. The last time I tried using one was back in college – I could feel like my ear needed cleaning, so I picked an earbud up and carefully went at it. I ended up pushing the wax further into my canal, and suddenly I could barely hear out that ear because of the wax blockage. A doctor finally helped me out, and told me something I remember to this day. That Q-tip isn’t meant for in-ear usage. It’s a convenient thing everyone takes for granted, but if you ever pick up a box and actually read the instructions, it specifically states that the Q-tip’s design is made for cleaning AROUND the ear, and not inside it.

WAXOFF takes a much more precise and no-nonsense approach to ear-cleaning. No larger than an electric toothbrush, the WAXOFF is an electric Q-tip that uses a rotating head with a helical pattern that gently scoops and pushes out any wax inside your ear, instead of accidentally pushing it in. Designed for self-use, the WAXOFF is a personal hygiene device that can be used without external supervision. It rotates at a constant speed in one direction, relying on the helical channels to gather and push out any ear-wax. The head’s flexible, soft design allows it to gently slide into any ear, and its simple wax-removal technique is practically foolproof. WAXOFF’s rotating head is replaceable, and can be ejected and swapped out using two push-buttons on the top of the handle. Plus, a single button with the WAXOFF branding lets you toggle it on or off, and a USB-C port on the back lets you charge the device when its battery runs low.

This electric q-tip gently cleans the wax from inside your ear

No larger than the size of an electric toothbrush, the Clean focuses on personal hygiene by allowing you to clear your ear canals of dirt and wax. The handheld device comes with a design that allows you to use it on your own, without external supervision. Its silicone body is soft, malleable, non-toxic, and easy to clean, while the rotating head at its tip features a helical pattern that rotates to gently push out any wax inside your ear without hurting you.

The Clean’s unique design makes it more effective than a q-tip. Its rotating head burrows wax away and out of the canal, and makes sure you never accidentally push wax INTO your ear… all while being incredibly easy to clean once used. You can take a wet-wipe to it or even use hot water to sterilize the tip, allowing you to use it multiple times, unlike cotton buds which need to be thrown away after a single use.

The LastSwab offers a reusable alternative to those polluting disposable earbuds

Posted on by

Single-use plastics are public enemy number 1 right now, and it’s high time they made an exit from our lives. A photo went viral sometime in the past year, of a seahorse holding onto a disposable earbud that had been carelessly dumped in the ocean. The LastSwab comes at a perfect time, providing a clean, reusable alternative to those disposable earbuds that get used, flushed, and end up in the oceans. Designed with a specialized reusable rubber tip that can be cleaned with a dab of soap and some water, along with a tough, durable nylon connector-rod, the LastSwab comes in two variants… One for cleaning, and another for touching-up make-up. The dual-sided earbuds come with their own nifty carry-case, and can be used multiple times for years and years (and ears!)

The Perfect Wireless Earphones?!

Wireless earphones are becoming far more of a common sight, with them now being available in a variety of forms aimed to suit different demographics… but Unbound captured our attention, and for one very good reason. It’s carefully considered user experience.

A current annoyance with today’s Bluetooth earphones is their limited usage time due to their reliance on portable batteries. However, the Unbound solution to this is simple, yet ingenious; an extended battery cable attaches sleekly to each earphone, providing them with an extra 4-5 hours of play time, but most importantly, allows them to still be used whilst charging!

The Powercase increases the battery life even further, by more than 12 hours, meaning that you could listen to your music throughout the entirety of your day. With the aesthetics of earphones being a significant motive for purchase, we think it’s fair to say that Unbound carries a desirable style… we could certainly see ourselves using them!

Extended Battery + Docking Clip

“Unlike most true wireless earbuds including Apple Airpods that can’t be used when charging, this extended battery cable allows users to continue listening or calling while being charged. The Pogo pins in the docking clips deliver electrical power from the extended battery to the earbuds. In addition, the magnets on the clips of the extended battery cable allow functionality in which they can be connected, while still hanging on the user’s neck when it is not being used,” Lee explained.

Power Case Provides 12+ Hours Play Time

Unbound earbuds deliver 2 1/2 hours play time and an extra 12+ hours from the Power case. The portable power case has the built-in flexible USB charging connector, which allows users to be free from carrying an extra cable.
