Indiegogo of Note: AMPSound Personal Bluetooth Amplifiers & Earbuds

If you’re as old as me, (I’m not old as dirt, but I did participate in the beta test), you probably don’t hear as well as you once did. This can be frustrating. If you’re also in the same financial situation as me, you can’t afford to spend a couple of thousand dollars for a hearing aid. That’s why the AMPSound Indiegogo campaign caught my eye. (Ear?)

AMPSound Bluetooth Hearing Amplifiers are unique in the way that they combine the benefits of not one, but three different products into a pair of beautifully designed stereo headphones. Use AMPSound as personal hearing amplifiers, Bluetooth stereo headphones or a Bluetooth earpiece for phone calls. With the ability to enhance sounds, you’ll be able to hear the world around you better than you ever have before. Designed as regular in-ear earbuds, AMPSound headphones are easy to use, easy to wear and require no adjustments to give you the most comfortable fit.

AMPSound offers 16 levels of personalized sound. Plus it includes three different sized earbuds for a custom fit. AMPSound’s compact “Portable Power Pack” allows for on-the-go charging and uses a built-in 3000 mAh capacity, which provides at least 21 cycles of charging. It also offers a USB port for charging of your other electronic devices.

AMPSound features include:

• 16 levels for personalized sound enhancement
• Removable battery capsules (2 x 50mAh, total 100mAh)
• 3000mAh Power Pack that can charge mobile phones and other electronic devices
• High-fidelity sound quality with built-in Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
• One set of headphones, three different uses: Boost your hearing, answer calls or listen to music
• Magnetic lock earbuds to answer and hang up phone calls – pull apart the earbuds to answer an incoming call and when the call ends, simply magnet the earbuds to automatically hang up
• When AMPSound is in amplifier mode, they will automatically switch to Bluetooth mode when there is an incoming call. When the call ends, AMPSound will automatically switch back to amplifier mode
• Adjust the volume level of each ear bud independently – AMPSound will include a small screw that will allow you to increase or decrease the volume of the ear buds, individually
• AMPSound offers affordable costs for quality hearing amplifiers
• Comfortable ear pieces that you can put in and take out as easily and quickly as you like
• Two removable battery capsules so you can charge one or two at the same time and always have power
• Combined music streaming, handsfree phone calls and sound amplification features into one device
• No medical evaluations needed, so you can pre-order AMPSound without a medical referral
• Modern in-ear headphone design so you can ditch your old, embarrassing hearing amplifiers
• AMPSound will automatically answer when there is an incoming call and will switch back to the mode you were previously in when the call ends
• AMPSound’s coin batteries are imported from Germany. The remaining battery capacity can reach 90%, even after 800 cycles

The AMPSound Indiegogo campaign offers various levels of pledges, from $1 up to $2,500, but the one most folks will be interested in is the $99 early bird pledge level, which snags one pair of AMPSound headphones, along with a power pack and three different earbud sizes. (RETAIL – $199). After the early bird allotment is gone, it’ll run $129 for the same package.
