The problem with most wireless earphones nowadays is that they still involve wires that connect one earbud to the other. Although they’re Bluetooth compatible and partly wireless — as they don’t use a cable to connect to a player — they still bother some music listeners because of their design, not to mention that they still cause cord pulls sometimes.
Alpha Audiotronics wants to resolve the issue with Skybuds, an absolute gamechanger in the wireless headset industry.
Skybuds are like a Swiss army knife for all your phone needs: Wireless earbuds, hands-free calls, a battery pack smartphone case and a charging/docking station for your earbuds when you’re not using them.
Earbuds are stored on both edges of the phone case at the very bottom. When you’re ready to use them, push the earbud and it’ll click out of the case. Plop them into your ears and press the button on one of the earbuds to play or pause your music. You can listen to music on one or both ears. If you receive a call, it works the same way to answer or hang up the phone.
The phone case has an embedded battery pack, so you can charge your phone on the go. The earbuds automatically charge when they’re inserted back in the phone case. You can charge the case using the USB connector, and it will also charge your phone and earbuds simultaneously.
“Each earbud has a coil, the primary earbud modulates a tight, low-power, non propagating, localized magnetic field which is measured by the receiver coil in the other earbud”
The case fits the iPhone 6 and 6S, and it is a little on the longer side to make room for earbud storage, but it’s flat and sleek. Skybuds owners can also download the Skybuds app, which has several features. You can check battery levels of the case and earbuds, or locate your earbuds if you lose them. The Skybuds app will help you connect the earbuds to any Bluetooth device, not just your phone. There’s also a charge control setting to dictate when the case automatically recharges your phone.
