Posted: Sun Apr 20, 2014 7:42 pm
Two inner-city students, Courtland White and NeKeima Mitchell, from an Urban University in Jackson, MS (Jackson State University) Invent the World’s first “SMART Headphone”. In development Rootz Inc. has an over-the-ear headphone integrated with a touchscreen Android module, Sim Card slot, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connections, Internal microphone, GPS, Google Play access and manual voice command options titled the SLD (Smart Listening Device). It is the World’s first Smart headphone that comes with an (8-64GB) internal operating system allowing users to converse hands free, and download their favorite mobile apps & media files via Wi-fi/Bluetooth/or USB.
Now instead of one’s headphones serving as an accessory piece to an external audio device, it is the headset and smart audio device all in one innovative product! . Rootz has breached the realm of a true market disrupter and totally defeated the purpose of a regular wired or Bluetooth headset. Due to the capacity of the device to store memory, the headphones will be offered with multiple storage capacities and sold in a range of $289 to $489; Double the Technology for half the price of competitors. Also for every product purchased a portion goes to inner-city art programs struggling from budget cuts. Their company mission is to keep the creative spirit alive, and revive the “Rootz” of what makes this country so great; our artistic expression!
Rootz Inc. Head Engineer and Prairie View A&M University graduate, Chris White, is quoted saying, “There has been many headphones to flood the consumer market lately, but nothing as game changing as ours. Certainly our product has state-of the-art sound, but it’s our proprietary advancements that put us in a whole new league!”
2014 Sales growth in premium headphones is being driven by a number of factors including greater attachment to mobile devices and more choices for consumers to adapt to their on-the-go lifestyles. Interestingly while sound quality remains the most important factor when making a premium headphone purchase, this number has declined from a year ago; likely a result of the influx of younger consumers buying headphones who value design and brand just as much as audio fidelity. One third of premium headphone buyers are under the age of 25 and many of these consumers view headphones as equal parts listening device and fashion accessory.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS! Rootz Inc. will begin their first pre-sales June 6th, 2014 by launching a major crowdfunding campaign through IndieGoGo.com. The company has united celebrity athletes and musicians from all over to join the movement with a goal to become America’s leading Minority-Owned Technology Firm.
