yurbuds, the makers of sports earphones ‘guaranteed never to hurt or fall out’, is debuting its new Adventure Series range – geared towards the outdoor community at the Triathlon Plus Show (stand LT430).
The new Triathlon Plus Show – Driven by SEAT, takes place at ExCeL London on 13–16 February 2014.
yurbuds was founded in 2008 by Seth Burgett, President and CEO, an active triathlete and Richard Daniels, COO, a 24-time marathoner. Burgett and Daniels left their corporate roles and joined forces to improve personal performance and the outdoor enthusiast’s listening experience.
They have been joined by Craig Ceranna, CFO and Managing Director, to realize the company’s mission: ‘transform the athlete’s experience through personalised service and exceptional audio products that integrate ergonomics and emotive design.’
As a company, yurbuds was named Forbes 9th Most Promising Company in America for 2009. yurbuds has also won awards for its products and marketing, including a 2010 GOOD DESIGN AWARD, 2011 “Site of the Day” for Awwwards, and the 2013 CES Design & Engineering Showcase Award.
Known for integrating user feedback, yurbuds continues to design sport equipment for the needs of every type of athlete.
As an avid hiker, yurbuds designer Aaron Gorga is in tune with the outdoor community. By listening closely to the needs of his network, he created an innovative earphone that looks and feels like ‘gear’ that a hiker, climber or adventurer would use.
The new Adventure Series features all classic yurbuds qualities including a sweat and water resistant design for active use; FlexSoft comfort fit and TwistLock technology that is guaranteed to never fall out. Additionally, the Adventure Series has tangle-resistant, rubberised woven cords that increase the water resistance to the IPX 5 level.
The housing design and snap fit enhancers provide premium sound quality, and the QuikClik magnets allow for easy storage and access on the go.
The Venture Pro (RRP £84.99) features a three-button microphone system with track, call and volume control, designed specifically for Apple products. The Venture Talk (£64.99) includes a one-button microphone and is compatible with all smart phones including Android devices. The Venture Duro (£49.99) is sweat and water resistant, allows ambient noise and features rugged Kevlar cords.
Designed to withstand the toughest outdoor conditions, the Adventure Series is guaranteed to never hurt, fall out, or lose sound quality, no matter how intense the journey. They are positioned as the first of their kind headphones, created to work seamlessly with enthusiast’s other outdoor gear.
