Kickstarter: Pugz wireless earbud aims to redefine your wireless audio experience

Pugz is a wireless earbud that aims to solve all your wireless audio woes

Earlier this week, Kickstarter announced that it is now a Public Benefit Corporation. With the new incorporation, Kickstarter is renamed to Kickstarter PBC making it legally binding to pursue a social good for the society.

While Kickstarter stays a for-profit company, it is now mandatory for the company ‘to consider the impact of their decisions on society, not only shareholders’. While Kickstarter has taken a huge step by becoming a society driven company and thus building a platform for more and more creators to showcase their projects and get funded, here we help you narrow down the choices.

This week, we are looking at Pugz – an earbud that is wireless and charges through your phone. A great musical experience is almost incomplete without a great sounding headphones. Most headphones and earbuds out there in the market that deliver the best sound experience are either big and bulky or way too costly to even think of buying one. Pugz says it has got the solution.

Pugz is designed in a way that it stays small and yet allows perfect fit without compromising on Music experience. The Pugz is not really wireless because it does feature wires to wrap it around the back of your head, but the fact that it charges from your smartphone makes it different.

Pugz comes in two variants – Sealed and Leaking. Sealed variant offers passive noise isolation while leaking variant does pump music to your ears but with some surrounding noise.

Charging Pugz for 40 minutes delivers up to 4.5 hours of music playback. Pugz says this charging consumes just 3% of your smartphone battery.

On the audio front, Pugz says it’s using proprietary audio codec with powerful speakers to deliver good sound. Its Kickstarter page mentions,
1. Rich Bass Response
2. Natural Mid tones
3. Crisp highs
4. Minimal distortion at 8Hz-28kHz

All this sounds well but we would reserve our comments until we test the earbuds. Also this earbuds use a proprietary bluetooth technique called aptX to connect which is highly reliable for significantly less data loss during audio transmission.

Pugz launched its Kickstarter mission with a goal of $50,000 and at the time of writing had been funded $596,266 with 4,520 backers. The funding completion for this Kickstarter backing happens in 13 days and with such a huge funding, it’s acceptable that we are still in lookout for really good wireless earbuds.

Right now we are excited about Pugz and its vision, do let us know what you feel about the product and any other such earphone worth checking out.
