The ‘World’s hottest math teacher’ who has a PhD in engineering from UCL, models for Armani and trains as a fitness pro- uses noise cancelling earphones wherever he goes- loves Thunder.

 

Almost all earphones on the market with active noise cancellation have to be charged regularly. However, Thunder uses the iPhone’s Lightning connector to draw the power for its active noise cancellation directly from your iPhone. This means you can enjoy active noise cancellation all day long without the hassle of batteries or chargers!

Quiet mode completely blocks out all ambient noise, allowing you to listen to your music and nothing but your music. Despite the powerful noise cancellation, in this mode Thunder only consumes 1% of your iPhone’s battery per hour, meaning you can kick back and relax and not worry about battery levels.

Aware mode allows a little ambient noise into your ears, enabling you to remain aware of what’s happening around you. This gives you a superior listening experience but still ensures you’ll still stay safe in traffic and avoid missing out on transport announcements.

 

 

 Everyone’s listening habits differ, but traditional earphones are tuned with a “one-sound-fits-all”approach. Thunder revolutionizes your listening  experience by adapting itself to your ears and your style.

 

With its complementary app, Thunder tests your hearing in a way similar to a vision test. Listen and answer if you can hear a series of notes played at different frequencies and volumes. Once Thunder obtains your unique hearing signature, the uHear function performs its magic by calibrating Thunder’s sound to you. If your ears can hear it, Thunder will play it!

Thunder’s autoTune function further enhances your listening experience by adapting itself to your playlists. Whether you like bass-thumping club anthems or intimate acoustic singer-songwriter ballads, raucous free jazz trios or reserved string quartets, autoTune listens to your songs to create a curated sound perfect for your playlist.

And if you want to dive in and tune your earphones like a professional acoustic engineer, Thunder’s uTune feature lets you do that too. With adjustable EQ, sound field and surround sound, Thunder has the most comprehensive tuning options available on any earphones, giving you total control.

Regardless of your level of expertise, Thunder gives you a personalized sound that’s yours and yours alone.

Due to the inherent limitations of the iPhone’s audio processor, iPhone earphones have always struggled to produce a true high fidelity sound. Thunder solves this problem for good.
 

 

Powered by a genuinely hi-fi audio chip and the iPhone’s Lightning connector, Thunder gives every iPhone user the chance to experience lossless sound for the first time! Prepare to hear everything.

 

Best of all, if you are considering an upgrade to an iPhone 6s Plus or the upcoming iPhone 7, Thunder’s use of the Lightning connector ensures that you will continue to be able to enjoy the best quality sound.

• 1 pair of Thunder Earphones
• 1 earphones cushion kit (that has 3 pairs of high-performance silicone tips and 3 pairs of premium memory foam tips sizing from small, medium to large respectively)
•1 durable silicone carrying pouch

And you have a choice between chrome silver and chrome black.

 

 

 

 

We started Thunder because we see the future of a whole new way of listening that utilise the full potential of your existing smart phone and turn it into a listening experience that you've never had before. 

After almost a year of designing, developing, prototyping, tuning and testing, we are proud to finally present Thunder to you all.

The next step would be to get ready for mass production. And that is why we need your lovely support to make it happen and put it into the hands of you and many more.

Together, we can redefine earphones.

 

 

 

 

Like any hardware project, there are risks and challenges associated with manufacturing and supply chain logistics. 

BeSound is based in Shenzhen, the centre of world electronics. Our team has successfully delivered thousands of audio products to market. We understand the unique challenges of audio hardware and are familiar with how to avoid and mitigate any issues that arise. 

Thunder will be built by our top-tier, MFi certified manufacturing partner.

 

 

1. How good is the noise cancellation? 

At 100 Hz(typical noise frequency range of aircrafts ), on average, Thunder reduces the noise by 32dB (from 85 dB to 53dB) , equivalent of 12.5 times reduction  of  the original noise in terms of sound pressure.
At 200 Hz (typical noise frequency range of trucks), Thunder achieves 41 dB noise reduction.
At 500 Hz, 1000 Hz and 3000Hz, Thunder is measuring at 31dB, 22dB and 43dB.

2. Is it compatible with all iPhone devices? 

Thunder is compatible with all iOS devices having lightning connector, including:
·iPhone 7 Plus/ 7/ SE/ 6S/ 6S Plus/ 6 Plus/ 6/ 5S/ 5C/ 5.
·iPad 4/ Air/ Air 2/ Pro/ Mini/ Mini 3/ Mini 4
·iPod Touch 5/ iPod Touch 6/ iPod Nano

 

 

 

3. What if I’m an android user? 

The core technology in Thunder is fully compatible with Android and the type-C connector. And we’d love to bring the Thunder experience to all android users! However to be able to do so, we will have to open a whole new production line for type-c connector. And that cost can only be covered until we hit a much higher goal. Please help us to bring the Thunder experience to all android users!
