Company Performance Metrics
Echobox is a company founded and run by music-lovers and audio geeks. They’ve been watching the personal audio industry for years, researching and analyzing everything from the types of music people listen to, how and where they listen, and, most importantly, the quality of audio that they’ve become accustomed to. What they’ve seen has excited,
confused, and disappointed us, all at once.
Portable audio has revolutionized the way they listen to music, and has transformed the types of products they use. Smartphones and the introduction of music streaming services have made music available to anyone, anytime, anywhere.
There are a lot of fashion-oriented headphones and audio players out there. Most sound mediocre, are built like dollar store toys, or are just way, way too expensive.
But…
There can be no denying that the quality of what they hear when they plug earbuds into their phones is not what they really feel like they should be hearing, and it certainly doesn’t make us feel the same way they feel when they hear live music, or listen to it on a high quality sound system.
Or all three.
They’ve founded Echobox to help personal audio evolve to a level that does justice to good music. They plan on making good sounding audio products that are well-built and available at prices that are affordable to anyone who is passionate about music. Their first two products, the Explorer and the Finder, are designed to make real high-fidelity audio affordable.
In November 2015, they launched a campaign on the crowdfunding website IndieGoGo with the hopes of raising $25,000 to finish the production of their HiFi audio player, the Explorer. With the amazing support of nearly 400 backers, they ended up raising over $70,000! This incredible success has allowed us to move forward even faster with their development, and the Explorer is on track to be finished and market ready by April, 2016. In the meantime, they have delivered (on time) all Finder earphones backed during the initial campaign, and have received overwhelmingly positive feedback about their sound, design and build quality. T could not be any happier!
They founded this company because of their love for music, and that passion has pushed us to have plans beyond just making these products. They are a company with a global vision ; a vision of a future where everyone can appreciate music the way it’s meant to be appreciated, both by listening and playing. They want to use their products, and all of their resources, to spread the love of music to as many people as possible!
