Crazybaby built carbon nanotube acoustic tech into these wireless headphones

By Lulu Chang Published November 26, 2017

It’s tough to top yourself when the last product you debuted was a floating speaker. But three years after setting the bar quite high with its flying saucer of an audio device, Crazybaby is back to impress its customers again. Its latest product is the Air by Crazybaby (Nano), otherwise known as the Air (Nano). With more than three weeks left in its campaign, these new headphones have already smashed their original $50,000 funding goal by more than 1,000 percent, as over 6,200 backers have pledged nearly $580,000 to bring these wireless earbuds to market.

This is not the first set of headphones to come from Crazybaby’s portfolio. The company launched its Air headphones in December 2016, but the new Air (Nano) claims to combine the latest in technology with Crazybaby’s uniquely creative aesthetic. The new earbuds are splashproof, and claim to make use of carbon nanotube technology for acoustic purposes. Plus, the Nano features the newest CSR chip, which claims to be the latest in Bluetooth technology, so that you’ll always stay connected to your smartphone. Compatible with both iOS and Android devices, the NANO is Bluetooth 5.0 ready, and is said to have 12 hours of battery life for listening to music, or 16 hours of talk time.

“Air by Crazybaby (Nano) sports a new spin on our classic design, with a range of vibrant colors to suit every style, offering everything you’d find in Air by Crazybaby at the very best value,” said Allen Zhang, Founder and CEO of Crazybaby. “We’re excited to introduce the Air (Nano) at a price point of just $99, making this technology even more accessible to all, as we continue to push the boundaries of wireless personal acoustic devices.”

The charging capsule doubles as a sleek case for the earbuds, and supposedly, you’ll get 90 minutes of use out of just five minutes of charge when you’re pressed for time.

Available in a slew of colors including black, white, red, purple, pink, Matte Gold, Austin Yellow, Morandi Blue, Atlantis Green, and Volt Green, these new headphones certainly look to be catering to just about any style. But hopefully, the common denominator is quality.

Digital Trends’ Top Tech of CES 2023 Awards

Best of CES 2023 Awards Our Top Tech from the Show Feature

Let there be no doubt: CES isn’t just alive in 2023; it’s thriving. Take one glance at the taxi gridlock outside the Las Vegas Convention Center and it’s evident that two quiet COVID years didn’t kill the world’s desire for an overcrowded in-person tech extravaganza -- they just built up a ravenous demand.

From VR to AI, eVTOLs and QD-OLED, the acronyms were flying and fresh technologies populated every corner of the show floor, and even the parking lot. So naturally, we poked, prodded, and tried on everything we could. They weren’t all revolutionary. But they didn’t have to be. We’ve watched enough waves of “game-changing” technologies that never quite arrive to know that sometimes it’s the little tweaks that really count.

Digital Trends’ Tech For Change CES 2023 Awards

Digital Trends CES 2023 Tech For Change Award Winners Feature

CES is more than just a neon-drenched show-and-tell session for the world’s biggest tech manufacturers. More and more, it’s also a place where companies showcase innovations that could truly make the world a better place — and at CES 2023, this type of tech was on full display. We saw everything from accessibility-minded PS5 controllers to pedal-powered smart desks. But of all the amazing innovations on display this year, these three impressed us the most:

Samsung's Relumino Mode
Across the globe, roughly 300 million people suffer from moderate to severe vision loss, and generally speaking, most TVs don’t take that into account. So in an effort to make television more accessible and enjoyable for those millions of people suffering from impaired vision, Samsung is adding a new picture mode to many of its new TVs.

Relumino Mode, as it’s called, works by adding a bunch of different visual filters to the picture simultaneously. Outlines of people and objects on screen are highlighted, the contrast and brightness of the overall picture are cranked up, and extra sharpness is applied to everything. The resulting video would likely look strange to people with normal vision, but for folks with low vision, it should look clearer and closer to "normal" than it otherwise would.
Excitingly, since Relumino Mode is ultimately just a clever software trick, this technology could theoretically be pushed out via a software update and installed on millions of existing Samsung TVs -- not just new and recently purchased ones.
