I wanted to create a safe bag which changes the idea of what people think can be achieved with a new design of an everyday item. I have no background in design but I brought my idea to life with the help of the public and I hope it inspires others to look at everyday objects and see if they can’t find a better solution

I love Pono, it means a lot to me. When people ask me ‘do we need high-res music?’ I really don’t know. I can’t tell you but I know for me, I can listen to music again. I didn’t listen to music for the last fifteen years because I hated the way it sounded and it made me pissed off that I could not enjoy it anymore. It drove me crazy, not that I compare myself with a great painter but if Picasso could only paint in black and white, that’s kind of what I felt like

These headphones invite users to simply enjoy true audio and music, rather than focusing on bass. They are tuned to bring out the natural sound in your music, especially in the mid and high-frequency ranges. With the CKR9 and CKR10, we believe we have managed to achieve audio that is similar to larger headphones and much better than a conventional in-ear headphone.
