Muzik is bringing "smart" headphones to the market by the end of 2013, seeking to transform the way music is experienced. Muzik is pioneering a new space called Social Smartware, coined to describe the seamless connection of consumer electronic devices, content and social media platforms to make music instantly discoverable and shareable in an effortless way.
Muzik's lineup features the smart, on-ear wireless headphone that combines high-fidelity audio in a simple, elegant sleek design with groundbreaking capacitive touch controls. They are the first headphones in the world that allow users to natively share what they are listening to on Facebook and Twitter or instantly send a song anywhere in the world.
Jason Hardi, founder, president and CEO, Muzik, said "Headphones will never again just be for listening to music or talking on the phone – our headphones will improve the way we socially discover, share, listen and experience music. In addition to music exploration, I look forward to working with the developer community to create amazing applications leveraging smart headphones."
John Cawley, Muzik's Chief Strategy Officer and Vice Chairman, comes to Muzik after a successful stint as the COO for Music World Entertainment, best known as the management company for Beyonce and Destiny's Child.
"We are not another headphone company in the audio space," said Cawley. "We are a wearable technology company making smart headphones and accessories. Jason's vision is genius and we were singularly focused on joining the ranks of the world's most innovative companies-- Apple, Google, Microsoft, Nike and Samsung-- in one of today's hottest sectors, wearable technology and connected devices."
"We are very clear in our mission," continued Cawley. "We will focus on product development and patent portfolio building as we continue to build state-of-the-art products with a compelling user experience."
Together, Hardi and Cawley have built Muzik over the last year, created a robust hardware and software product lineup and recruited a powerhouse team that includes industry leaders, connected investors, and forward-thinking strategic partners who are driven to provide consumers an enhanced, interactive music listening experience.
