Anker-backed startup to launch super-tough, fully wireless smart earphones

The Liberty+ is a pioneer in a few different aspects. It’s the first wireless headphone setup that utilizes Bluetooth 5 and Zolo promises near-unbreakable connectivity. Why? Because a Liberty+ earbud’s entire framework works as a Bluetooth antenna.

To make sure that no user will be left out of the party, Zolo has included support for all major smart assistants out there — Siri, Google Assistant, Cortana, and Amazon Alexa. The idea is to be able to speak to your assistant of choice without feeling like you are losing out by not going for a proprietary set of wireless headphones.
In-ear headphones are not for everybody as they tend to not play well with all ear shapes. To try and offset this, Zolo made the Liberty+’s tips out of liquid-silicon, which is said to be softer and more adaptable than your regular earbud heads. The individual earphones are also built via a patented GripFit technology, which is supposed to keep them locked in place, no matter the intensity of your activity.
And while on the topic of activity — we all know the perils of blasting music over headphones when out and about in the city. If you need to listen to the outside world for a while, you don’t need to remove your Liberty+ — just activate the special transparency mode, which will use the earbuds’ microphones to relay outside audio to you.
As for battery life, the earphones can hold out for 3.5 hours of non-stop playback. However, their battery case is able to extend that to a full 48 hours.
Zolo plans to launch other products in the future — more headphones and speakers in tow. For now, the Liberty+ is offered at $99 in either black or white for early backers over at Kickstarter. Shipments will begin in October of this year and the retail price is going to be $149. Interested? Visit the Kickstarter link below!
