Since Apple released its now iconic AirPods 2 years
back, a whole segment of manufacturers has been investing in similar headsets
that do away with cables once and for all. The ideal platform for every new company that wants to fund its project is Indiegogo and we’ll
soon have the chance to grab a new entry headset, Astrotec S70. The company
behind the project intents to launch an Indiegogo project next month to
crowdfund the S70 headset, so let’s check out some of its highlights.
Astrotec S70 main features
- Dynamic and Balanced Armature Drivers
- Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity
- 36 hours of playtime on the go
- USB Type-C fast Charging
- Never fall out earhooks
- Water Resistant
- 10g weight
The main
component that is responsible for the quality of sound output is the drivers
used and for that reason the S70 utilizes a 10mm high-fidelity large dynamic
driver for the mellow bass and mid tones, and a Knowles highly sensitive
balanced armature driver for the high notes to retain rich detail. This
combination helps reproduce the emotive detail in-between layers of a song that
are often lost.
The headset features Bluetooth 5.0 that allows for
more stable and low-power connectivity. The connection range can reach up to 40
meters and the low-consumption Bluetooth 5.0 chip results in a 6-hour playback
on a single charge. Add to that the additional 30 hours of playback time with
the help of the portable charging case and you have a hyper-marathon runner.
The two pieces can be used wither independently or
in conjunction so you are free to choose whatever suits you best. This is what
the company calls “truly wireless” and the killer feature is that you can use
both earpieces by yourself or share with another person. Add to that the
super-light weight of 10gr and you have a perfectly “invisible” Bluetooth
headset. In addition, the charging case is also light, at 90gr.
The campaign will kick off next month and you can

available only to early buyers. Visit the Indiegogo page to subscribe and the
