Do you really need a pair of smart headphones?
Muzik CEO Jason Hardi started his headphone company back in 2013 to, as he puts it, "connect the world." But even though he's been showing off versions of the hardware throughout the years -- and even received a small investment from Twitter earlier this year -- it's never actually made it to market. Until a couple of months ago. That's when Hardi and co. finally unveiled the Muzik One, which launched alongside a partnership with Spotify. What's the big deal? Well, the One is a pair of "connected" headphones that lets you share whatever you're listening to on the social media platform of your choice with just a tap of a button. Sharing music has never been so easy. Whether or not that's worth $300, however, is less clear.
Muzik's $300 headphones are ready to share your #nowplaying
Twitter-backed high-end headphones startup Muzik has finally released the smart Bluetooth cans it's been showing off for years. Muzik One's defining feature is what the company calls "programmable hot keys." Simply put, it's the ability to perform tasks by tapping on the headphones' ear cup. For instance, so long as you link your Spotify, Facebook and Twitter accounts to it, you can tap on a cup to start up a playlist, follow artists or share what you're listening to on social media. You can also use IFTTT recipes to give it the power to control various connected elements in your home, including the lights or your thermostat.
