January 26, 2015, Laguna Niguel, CA – SnuggBuds Headsets today announced the launch of their exciting new waterproof sports headset model, called WET!
SnuggBuds participates in over 80 marathon and sports-themed expo events across the U.S. every year. The company has successfully produced sports earbud-style headsets since 2008 and gained customer respect over the years developing products that are sweat-resistant, extremely comfortable and that carry amazing sound quality. Sweat, water exposure and moisture have resulted in a higher demand for good-quality waterproof headsets. Many customers want to go beyond sweat-resistant and require a completely waterproof headset to better fit their personal and active lifestyles.
“Of the thousands of customers we see every year at marathons and athletic events across the U.S., many runners and athletes have asked us about Bluetooth and waterproof additions to our headset line” stated CEO, Stephen Schaefer. “We had a choice to invest in one of these now – our team chose the waterproof path. We have always valued on our loyal customers’ input to help us look toward and develop future products. We spent the last two years studying how more customers desire to use their headsets in water or around wet environments. We also studied the various speakers that could be submerged under water and which carried the best quality in sound range. We did our homework and WET! is our answer!”
Although WET! will certainly provide great appeal to runners and other athletes who participate in a variety of sports, this waterproof model opens the door for SnuggBuds Headsets to step into new territory within the water-sports industry. “We had the privilege of launching WET! at the Disney Star Wars Half Marathon in mid-January before the model was made available to consumers through our online store. We had an overwhelming positive response from our customers before and after the race.” said Schaefer. “Now we have our attention more focused on the water-sports industry, including the presentation of WET! at the 2015 Miami Boat Show in February.
With only a size 9mm single driver, this headset carries a high-level 104db speaker that can be submerged in three feet of water for up to 30 minutes. Testing shows greater numbers, but SnuggBuds Headsets design-staff opted to stress a more conservative range. The soft, silicone tips provide excellent comfort and truly isolate ambient noise interference. Additionally, the tear-drop casing design holds extremely well in the exposed outer ear area when either swimming (while connected with a waterproof device) or running. WET! comes in two color options; aqua blue and black or hot pink and white.
Based in Laguna Niguel, CA, SnuggBuds Headsets has been dedicated to producing high-quality audio headsets for sport enthusiasts. The company was created to bring to market outstanding, light-weight headsets with great speaker quality that could compete against expensive, large brand name products, but in a much more affordable price range. WET! retails for $89.95 and can be found both online at www.snuggbuds.com or Amazon and also at various running stores across the USA.
