It all started 10 years ago when our founder, amateur adventure racer James Bell-Booth, was training for a race called the T42 in Tongariro National Park of New Zealand. While running, riding and cross-training...his earbuds kept falling out right when he was finding his zone. His frustration of constantly re-fitting earbuds drove him insane and he decided to make an earbud that would never, ever move once he put it into his ears. He came up with the idea of MagFit 360 Hold technology. Development began at the kitchen table, ripping apart earbuds, adding magnets and wiring in ipods. Test and repeat. 10 years, 3 generations of the MagFit technology, and Earshots now has the best earbuds for movement.

Earshots

Designed and developed in New Zealand
Earshots was created in Aotearoa New Zealand: a land of diverse environments and terrain – from rugged snowy peaks to lush forests, black sand beaches, and volcanic plateaus. It’s one of the world’s best playgrounds for adventure sports and the ideal testing ground for hard-wearing, high-performance technology.
Developed in collaboration with some of the world’s best designers and sound engineers and shaped by feedback from our global community, Earshots continues to push the limits of what’s possible through sound and movement.
