Hi backers,
Things are starting to move forward in a significant way.
We officially requested the mold adjustments 2 weeks ago with our Chinese manufacturing partner.
After the failed charging case enlargement we showed you in the last update, they sent a new prototype which is now pretty accurate & finely working. The only thing missing was the logo on the front of the charger. We won’t wait another 2-3 weeks just for that. So I called the shot to make the molds corrections right on.
We’ll get the final files for the mold so we’ll double-check anyway.
China had a full holiday week and they’re recently working on it.
Besides that, we sent a new batch of pre-production prototypes to designated backers.
Their response was quite positive in terms of sound quality and fit.
They pointed out known issues such as spotty connectivity at times, battery management and pairing process. Those issues are currently being addressed with the new prototypes Sylvain is currently working on. He’s at the tuning stage and he noticed substantial improvements already.
We’re hopeful that by the next update we’ll have some plastic parts to show from the mold adjustments. But frankly, it’s unlikely within a single month.
After the mold adjustments completed, here are the next 5 steps:
Looking forward to the next update!
