Bundling headphones with smartphones is not a very popular idea for most consumers, but maybe the bundling can make sense when it matches a music subscription service like Deezer HiFi that actually offers CD-quality FLAC streaming (1411kbps) audio support - which translates fully to the ear when using wired headphones. And because of Mobee-K’s implementation, when Samsung Galaxy owners sync their USB-C Smart Earphones, they will automatically launch a customized Deezer theme for their phone. And the theme includes wallpapers, exclusive playlists, and shortcuts to Deezer, which can be accessed via the phone’s lock screen and home screen menus.
With this combination, Deezer HiFi users will be able to enjoy the sounds of their favorite artists in hi-fidelity, and have access to the more than 70 million HiFi tracks and an exclusive ‘HiFi Room’ packed with curated playlists for the best listening experience on Deezer. New subscribers who sign up for Deezer Premium or HiFi will also enjoy 3 months free (in the United States), with all of Deezer’s premium features, including personal Flow recommendations, lyrics, search songs by entering lyrics, in-app song recognition Songcatcher, original and third party podcasts, in English or Spanish, offline listening, unlimited skips, and much more.
Mobee-K is a subsidiary of KAON Media, founded in January of 2020, focusing on an authentication solution across mobile devices and accessories. The company is officially registered as Samsung’s SMAPP (Samsung Mobile Accessory Partnership Program) partner and engineers, designs, and manufactures complying accessories. The company’s Smart Earphones USB-C will work with basically any USB-C device, but unlock the special bonus features when connected with Samsung’s latest Galaxy S and Note series models.
The Mobee-K Smart Earphones USB-C are sold exclusively on Amazon.com for just $22.70, which might seem shockingly low when compared to even the lowest true wireless earbuds these days. Particularly, when the Mobee-K USB-C features good quality dynamic drivers and a solid design with microphone and volume control. And the idea of loading authentication technology in the USB-C connector has interesting potential in hardware and service bundles like this.
