It's great to be at a point where we can announce the schedule and milestones for Gen3 launch.  We have provided additional detail of the milestones below the timeline to give everyone an idea of what is going on behind the scenes. 

Gen3 fit & audio quality testing - In-progress

This testing is ongoing with members of the Insider community giving feedback as they test the prototypes.  We have limited number of prototypes for testing so we are cycling through as fast as we can.  The testing continues to provide valuable insights on fit/comfort and audio quality.  Testers are also sharing insights on what other observations that have that we can take into account as we move the development forward. 

Gen3 pre-production testing

For this stage of testing we will use pre-production prototypes.  These prototypes are made from our 'tools/molds' parts. These will be feature complete, for both the earbuds and the charge case. We will ask the Insider community to test all features of the product.  We will look to have the testing conducted over a 2 week period where we will ask people to rigorously test and provide their feedback and observations.  Alongside this we will be conducting the following internal testing:

• Full feature testing
• Connectivity testing
• Environmental testing (temperature, moisture, vibration, drop)
• Quality assurance testing
• Safety testing

Gen3 Insider pre-sale offer

Assuming our testing doesn't find any major bugs or defects we will be releasing a limited number of units for pre-order exclusively to the Insider community.  These will be  on a first in, first served basis.

Gen3 Insider pre-orders delivered

3 weeks before public launch, we will deliver the final Gen3 Earshots from the pre-order campaign to the pre-order customers.
