Freebit

THE PERFECT FIT

What would happen if you introduced a headset that can stay comfortably mounted in the ear all day? A headset that lets people converse on their cellphones or listen to music while doing anything from skydiving to head-banging? Would anyone want to buy such a headset? Would you?

The facts

Freebit is a patent protected shaped ear interface for wired and wireless headsets. Its ergonomic shape mimics the human ear, making it more comfortable and better fitting than any other ear interface in the market. Its ergonomic shape allows you to design headphones that can be worn for long periods without causing irritation or pain. The perfect fit makes the Freebit especially convenient for drivers, craftsmen, busy businessmen, athletes and music lovers.

The interface

The inner part of the outer ear is shaped like a screw-thread. The ear interface is shaped like a C that fits the screw-thread like a hand in a glove. You simply insert the interface with a twisting movement. And there it is.

The advantages

The Freebits increased stability and comfort has a bunch of concrete advantages, both for the headset designer and the end user:

First of all, to implement the Freebit ear interface means satisfying the needs of the consumer. Check your Market Requirement Document. You know comfort and fit is what the consumer is asking for. They want to be able to listen to music, podcasts and audiobooks while pursuing an active lifestyle. They want to be able to handle a keyboard or a PDA using both their hands while discussing matters with their clients over the phone. By satisfying these needs your product will literally fly off the store shelves.

Secondly, most of today's headsets look the same. This is because the design possibilities are limited due to the lack of stability in traditional on-ear and in-ear ear interfaces. The Freebit ear interface provides industry leading stability and fit. Your possibilities to create a unique design are greatly widened and current design limitations are past.

As you very well know, audio and voice quality is limited by sealing, size of the speaker unit and your ability to play with front and back volumes and so on. To make it short; you can play with the Freebit Concept!
