At CES 2024, Speck, known for its tech-enhancing accessories, unveiled its entry into the true wireless earbud sector with its Gemtones line. This new collection, featuring three distinct models – Gemtones Play, Gemtones Sport, and Gemtones Pro – brings together high-quality audio with innovative design, all at an accessible price point.
Gemtones Collection: A Blend of Functionality and Style
The Gemtones earbuds are designed to address common issues faced by audio consumers. One standout feature is their charging cases, which use a mechanical catch instead of the typical magnetic catch. This design choice ensures the earbuds remain securely in the case, even if dropped.
Visible and Secure Design
In a market where most earbuds come with opaque charging cases, Gemtones sets itself apart with a transparent lid. This allows users to quickly check if both earbuds are present. The cases also feature a bright color under the earbud, acting as an indicator when an earbud is missing.
Customizable and User-Friendly App
Complementing the physical design, the free Gemtones app offers unique features like volume control and a lost earbud finder. Users can also customize touch controls for different functionalities like play, pause, skip, and volume.
The Gemtones Line-Up:
- Gemtones Play ($49.99): Tailored for everyday use, these earbuds come with four sizes of silicone ear tips and are available in four colors.
- Gemtones Sport ($59.99): Designed for active users, these on-ear earbuds feature flexible behind-the-ear loops, perfect for athletic activities without compromising environmental awareness.
- Gemtones Pro ($79.99): Catering to professionals, these earbuds boast multi-point Bluetooth, wireless charging, and IPX5 super sweat and water resistance, ideal for extensive phone and computer use.
Availability: Gemtones Play and Gemtones Sport are currently available on www.SpeckProducts.com, and Gemtones Pro will hit the market in February 2024.
