Ripple is a pair of open-ear wireless earbuds made with commuting and running in mind. Made with safety in mind, Ripple will make you feel safer while on your daily commute on the metro or your nightly run. Be just a tap away from contacting your emergency contact or starting location tracking.

Innovation
The innovation of Ripple is the safety features integrated into wireless earbuds. Simply tap and there are different safety features that will be initiated like location tracking and messaging your emergency contact(s). This allows the user to feel safer as they are commuting and exercising outside. Additionally, the headphones are adjustable through heating, similar to how eyeglasses are adjusted. This allows them to fit a wider range of ear shapes. Ripple features open-ear listening to allow the user to listen to music and be aware of their surroundings.

Detail
Ripple is made of recycled HDPE plastic and silicone.

Specification
Available in 5 colors.
