Just in time for the holidays, SOL Republic just announced a wireless version of their popular “Tracks” customizable headphones utilizing Bluetooth. These are quite a bit more expensive at $199 instead of their corded brothers at $99 for the basic V8 Tracks headphones. Regardless, these will sound great and be a welcome convenience to people looking for great sound with portability and convenience.
Wireless headphones often lack the music experience found in their wired counterparts. Thanks to the A2 Sound Engines, Tracks AIR delivers a music experience that has solid bass, clean mids and vocals, and extended highs. Developed specifically for Bluetooth audio, the A2 Sound Engines are also very power efficient so you can have volume and bass punch without additional battery drain.
Tracks AIR features an unmatched wireless range that ensures clear and precise sound up to 150 feet away, nearly five times more than other wireless headphones. Tracks AIR gives music lovers the freedom to move around the house or office without having to keep your phone or music player attached to your hip. Don’t worry about digging through your bag to find your phone to answer an incoming call; Tracks AIR will pause your music and you can answer or ignore using only the controls on the sound engine.
With a remarkable 15-hour battery life, Track’s AIR has nearly twice as much power as most wireless headphones, so you won’t have to worry about your headphones’ charge dying during a long flight or marathon day at the office. If the battery does run low, you can conveniently plug in the standard SOL REPUBLIC cables that come with Tracks AIR and continue to enjoy your music.
Tracks AIR offers the convenience of dual-device connectivity so you can connect two devices simultaneously, such as your phone, tablet or computer. Seamlessly answer an incoming call while watching a movie on your tablet without having to disconnect devices. Swap from a movie on your tablet to your phone with the touch of a button. The dual-device connectivity allows you to easily switch back and forth without the hassle of discovering or disconnecting via Bluetooth and NFC pairing.
The new noise-isolating A2 Sound Engines also feature intuitively placed controls to ensure music lovers can pause, play, adjust volume and make phone calls with ease. A dual-microphone with CrystalTalk™ technology is built in to one of the Sound Engines, providing distortion-free calls anytime, anywhere.
Tracks AIR features new PowerTracks™, which are interchangeable headbands that can easily be swapped out to match your outfit or personal style. Tracks AIR will be available in multiple colors including ice white, gunmetal, electro blue and vivid red. Separate Tracks AIR PowerTracks in different colors and styles will be available in early 2014, and Tracks AIR are compatible with all Tracks cables for optional wired use.
