Volant – The Revolution of Headphones is Here!
In the rapidly changing world of technology, gadgets with multiple uses have become all the rage. To bring the goodness of headset, Volant Sound has brought Volant – world’s first 3-in-1 headphones to Kickstarter. A set of so-called hybrid headphones that promises groundbreaking innovation. It allows users to seamlessly switch between earphones, headphones and wireless listening in one simple step. Volant Sound is redesigning the standard headphones with this three-in-one concept in which consumers get to have a pair of In-Ear, Over-Ear and Wireless Over-Ear headphones all in one set.
The device is fitted into its headphone body thus transforming it into a pair of headphones and in the form of wireless connectivity, which apparently they consider being its third form. The wired pair of earbuds can also be plugged into the bigger cans for a proprietary wired solution.
Grandiose Design
Volant 3-in-1 headphones cater to user needs in myriad audio requirements in different lifestyle settings whether it is travel, work, gaming, or sports. The headphones are made up of aluminum and are covered in leather for comfort. The 40mm over ear headphones allows you to use the Volant as a pair of headphones and removing the earbuds and connecting the pair to your device over Bluetooth allows you to use the pair as wireless headphones without compromising on audio quality.
The 3 -in-1 headphones have a inbuilt 3000mAh Lithium Ion battery which can give 10 hours of continuous playback. It even sports an inbuilt microphone and an in-line remote for play and pause buttons. Volant caters to give a “well-crafted design” to shape its product with all the limelight.
Working Design
Volant can seamlessly work and switch between corded earphones, headphone and wireless headphone. The audio signal is carried through the company’s patent nodes to the 40mm speakers of over-ear headphones quite smoothly. It adds an extra travel leg to the audio signal to give good quality sound. Additionally, it has passive noise canceling feature that provides the same functionality clearing all the noises while connecting to the headphone shell. Thus it isolates the external noise to ensure an uninterrupted experience to their users. With the over-ear casing, simply slide up the side of the ear cup to reveal a small mount for your earphones to slot in to.
