What about the need to be woken up by external events which aren't connected to your smart phone? The immediate example I think of is a fire alarm.

- d4n13ll33 12y agoOur plans are to tie into the greater smart home! Think Nest, smart baby monitors, smart security systems, etc. We've already been talking with a number of OEM's like Samsung who want us to use their ecosystem :) But for this V1, we can't effectively block out a fire alarm.. those are really loud.. We can block out maybe 70dB max with our device whereas fire alarms are generally much much louder!
- darkmighty 12y agoWas active noise cancellation technically infeasible for this product?
- d4n13ll33 12y agoBattery limitations :( And cost. It's also not the best at blocking out the sudden transient sounds that are responsible for jarring people out of sleep. Passive noise reduction + noise masking are much more effective for that!
