Autonomous smart headphones and speakers have everything built inside and are not dependent on a smart phone to operate. Autonomous smart headphones and speakers are inherently easier to use, higher quality and more reliable. Autonomous smart headphones and speakers are inevitable and the way of the future because smart consumer electronic products including smart phones are continuously being improved with new built-in autonomous, software upgradeable, smart features to meet customer demands for enhanced functions, greater ease of use and higher quality.
Q: What can we expect from your company in next 6 months? What are your plans?
A: The company is ramping up its retail sales into several online retail stores, licensing its patented technology to major headphone and speaker OEMs plus releasing new features and products including its VOXXI® and SoundMate 2.
“VOXXI®” is proprietary AUDEA® voice control technology which allows you to create custom wake commands besides the fixed “OK Google” wake command and other customized commands such as “raise the bass by 20%”. AUDEA®’s VOXXI® unique “private voice control” only turns on the voice command microphone when the Wake Key is pressed which prevents any potential online eavesdropping of private conversations.
SoundMate 2 is a premium version of the AUDEA® SoundMate 1 auxiliary add-on speaker with 4 speaker drivers. 100 RMS watts and Bluetooth wireless or wired connectivity to the AUDEA® Q1 main smart speaker unit. Combining AUDEA’s 13 band equalizer with its ability to add any quality active speaker AUDEA represents the highest quality smart speaker in the world.

Q: What is the best thing about your company that people might not know about?
A: AUDEA® is the first autonomous smart speaker and headphones that incorporate an app processor.
Traditional smart speakers and headphones cannot run music apps, so you can’t browse your music without a phone which makes browsing and playing music more difficult, time consuming and complicated. Traditional smart speakers and headphones simply play music streamed to them from the internet or a phone with no integrated ability to access the music app playlists and other unique app features.
AUDEA® truly represents a whole new way to experience music. AUDEA®‘s superior quality, simplicity, freedom and smart customizable color touch display lends itself to becoming the next great, trendy, social way to play. AUDEA®’s smart color LED screen displays music apps and is user customizable to display personalized dynamic music visualizations. AUDEA® represents, especially for the younger generation, “the new cool way to play”. There simply is no other smart speaker or headphones that offers the superior audio quality and simplicity that AUDEA® offers.
AUDEA is changing the world of music with revolutionary, patented technology that makes music easy and with unparalleled, exceptionally high quality audio.
