In addition to the Marshall brand known as a guitar amplifier, Zound Industries, a Swedish company that manufactures and sells Bluetooth speakers and headphones, announced its first wireless earphone, Mode II.
Mode II adopts Bluetooth 5.1 announced in 2019 as the brand’s first fully wireless earphone and provides IPX4 function. The driver unit is equipped with a 6mm diameter dynamic, adjustable equalizer function, as well as a microphone for call and voice support.
Meanwhile, the noise canceling function that goes into all wireless earphones is unfortunately omitted. Also, because it is not for sports training, it does not have a sweat prevention function.
As this product is a wireless product, it can operate music play or stop by touch, and turn on/off a call answering or environmental sound capture mode. The battery life is 5 hours without charging, and since it can be charged 4 times using the charging case, it can be used for a total of 25 hours without a power outlet. The case battery can be charged with a USB Type-C connector, and the remaining amount can be checked with an LED indicator.
Mode II has begun accepting reservations in the US and is priced at $179. Related information can be found here.
