A new type of earphones. 

”PUGZ are the world’s first wireless earphones that lets you charge them through your phone. Plus you can listen and charge at the same time. We are strong believers that this simplifies the wireless experience and is a crucial key component for the adaptation of wireless earphones. You don’t want a pair of earphones that go useless when they run out of battery. Imagine a phone with no ”listen and charge” functionality?

The Squircle – the unique charging interface

The key differentiator in PUGZ earphones UX is our patented self guiding magnetic connector we call: ”The Squircle”. For the best electrical conductivity and styling, we chose this in 18 K Gold.

The Squircle enables you to listen and charge at the same time. This is something the industry had forgot, but we know we can fix.

Charge through all your devices.  

You can charge your PUGZ earphones on all devices such as computer (USB), AC-adapter (USB), Android (uUSB) and iPhone (Lightning). If the battery is low, just ’Squircle’ your Pugz and keep on listening.

Perfect workout partner

Training is all about freedom! You want to be free! You don’t want cords and wires to tangle and limit your movement. At least we don’t! Thats why we built PUGZ for extreme perfect fit, sweat, rain, wear and tear.

They are designed and constructed to simply stay in place. We defy you to try shaking them out of your ears!

A smooth listening experience.

With no wires attached to your phone you can easily access your PUGZ and enjoy a smooth wireless experience. The lightweight and minimal shape of the earphone creates the perfect fit and lets you walk around tangle free.

Control your phone by PUGZ

• Adjust volume
• Play/pause/skip tracks
• Start and end calls
• Activate Siri or Google voice command.

The PUGZ SOUND

Powerful speakers and proprietary audio codec delivers a solid deep bass and crisp highs.

• Rich bass response
• Natural mid tones and crisp highs
• Minimal harmonic distortion
• 8Hz-28 KHz

Super high quality sound with aptX.

A Bluetooth® connection is a bit like a data pipeline between devices. Because the pipeline has a maximum width, it can sometimes be difficult to flow large audio files through it.

aptX® solves the problem of sending pure audio wirelessly over Bluetooth® by reducing the size of the audio files so they can be squeezed through the wireless pipeline without affecting the sound quality.

Therefore, with aptX®, you can experience CD-like quality audio whenever and wherever you choose.

Easy pairing with all your devices

PUGZ is compatible with all your devices with Bluetooth such as mobile phone, computer, tablet, TV, Apple Watch, etc. Just pair it and enjoy!

Available in four different colors.

PUGZ earphones will be available in 4 different colors:
– White, Red, Pink and Black.

When designing the product we wanted to create a feeling that would combine high-tech and hi-design without increasing the size of the bud. By combining stylish colors with premium materials, we kept the ID as clean as possible without being dull. Eg. The metal parts are made from 18K gold.

Choose between two different styles, Sealed or leaking. 

PUGZ will be available in two styles, Sealed and Leaking.
Sealed provides you with a passive noise cancellation which isolates all surrounding noise and lets you focus on your music experience.

Leaking – Our ear gel design directs the audio into your ear but lets you hear a bit of your surroundings. Its just a matter of taste.

Charging and battery

By using 3% of your smart phone battery capacity to charge your PUGZ you get 4.5 hours of music and 10 days of standby. You can also plug into your phone and listen while charging, often called ’OTG’ On the go charging.

Size, Sound and Bluetooth

It’s no surprise that sound and fit ranks among the most important factors when buying a pair of earphones. For us, both is SUPER CRUCIAL. Therefore, we spent hundreds of hours submerged in form and fit studies, finding the right gels, deciding the right sizes etc. We finally think we’ve made it and PUGZ are offered in S-XL gel sizes to fit your ear. In addition we developed a wing secure system to ensure they always stay in even during extreme conditions.

The sound ranges between 8Hz-28KHz giving you a wide and deep bass without compromising too much treble. The connection is made by Bluetooth 4.1 with a built in CSR-aptX chip.

Safe around your neck with magnetic locks. 

A big issue with standard wired earphones is that they tend to tangle every time you tuck them away, making it a challenge to untangle them and start listening to music or receive a call.

With PUGZ magnetic cable clips you can simply hang them around your neck and watch them magnetically clip into place, so the next time you take
a call, simply separate and start talking. Easy !

FROM THE PAST DEVELOPMENT

Here is some pictures from our first prototyping and development phases.

Where we’re at

Since April 2014, we’ve came a long way on the PUGZ concept, the UX, the CMF (color material, fabrics) and of course the production sourcing and building. We can easily say that the biggest challenges and obstacles have been cleared. We are ready to go into production and we need your help.
