Echobox: The Evolution of Personal Audio
Echobox is a company founded and run by music-lovers and audio geeks. We’ve been watching the personal audio industry for years, researching and analyzing everything from the types of music people listen to, how and where we listen, and, most importantly, the quality of audio that we’ve become accustomed to. What we’ve seen has excited, confused, and disappointed us, all at once.
Portable audio has revolutionized the way we listen to music, and has transformed the types of products we use. Smartphones and the introduction of music streaming services have made music available to anyone, anytime, anywhere.
There are a lot of fashion-oriented headphones and audio players out there. Most sound mediocre, are built like dollar store toys, or are just way, way too expensive.
But…
There can be no denying that the quality of what we hear when we plug earbuds into our phones is not what we really feel like we should be hearing, and it certainly doesn’t make us feel the same way we feel when we hear live music, or listen to it on a high quality sound system.
Or all three.
We’ve founded Echobox to help personal audio evolve to a level that does justice to good music. We plan on making good sounding audio products that are well-built and available at prices that are affordable to anyone who is passionate about music. Our first two products, the Explorer and the Finder, are designed to make real high-fidelity audio affordable.
In November 2015, we launched a campaign on the crowdfunding website IndieGoGo with the hopes of raising $25,000 to finish the production of our HiFi audio player, the Explorer. With the amazing support of nearly 400 backers, we ended up raising over $70,000! This incredible success has allowed us to move forward even faster with our development, and the Explorer is on track to be finished and market ready by April, 2016. In the meantime, we have delivered (on time) all Finder earphones backed during the initial campaign, and have received overwhelmingly positive feedback about their sound, design and build quality. We could not be any happier!
We founded this company because of our love for music, and that passion has pushed us to have plans beyond just making these products. We are a company with a global vision ; a vision of a future where everyone can appreciate music the way it’s meant to be appreciated, both by listening and playing. We want to use our products, and all of our resources, to spread the love of music to as many people as possible!
