With the heat of summer upon us, looking for the latest gadget to cool things down. I stumbled on this great new Kickstarter campaign that integrates technology vision and sound.
The Zungle Panther are a great pair of sunglasses with built in bone conduction speakers. Available in 5 sensational colors, these sunglasses are made from a light weight Tetron Rayon material. In fact they only weigh 45 grams.
Don’t let the size and weight of the Zungle Panther fool you. Compatible with smart phone, tablets and any other Bluetooth enabled devices, this specs can wireless connect. The bone conducting technology pumps up your sound quality in relation to traditional normal earphones. The Zungle Panther also has an built-in noise cancelling microphone which allows you to take phone calls.
The battery life is quite reasonable. With 4 hours play time, it is just perfect for that morning workout, but may need to be charged for that extended commute to and from work. The lenses are easily swappable with Oakley’s Frogskin lenses.
The only downer is that the Zungle Panther is currently seeking funding and won’t be available until end of the year.
