Hi guys - I'm the Chairman of the company behind the DUBS. Let me know if you have any questions. There is a lot of tech in these little guys... Excited for the early response / thanks for the votes!
@abramdawson Yes. The DUBS use patent-pending mechanical filters to dynamically attenuate (or mix) audio waves to the optimal dB balance, by frequency range (i.e., lows and highs are attenuated differently). In essence, though the DUBS are passive (and hence only $25), they 'live mix' sound to the Fletcher Munson curve and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fle...
Each DUB has 17 individual components in them to achieve this, yet still fits in a form factor that doesn't stick out of your ears (I always hated the Frankenstein effect of other earplugs).
@fritzanity They sound pretty sweet. Too bad they are shipping just a little late for TomorrowWorld this weekend. Any way to get my hands on a pair (in the Bay Area) before Thursday?
@kjemperud Thomas - if you processed an order online send me the number and I will see if I can get them to expedite your unit. Thursday might be tough but we'll see what we can do!
@adamceresko Hope you enjoy them! The DUBS really sing in loud EDM environments. My cofounder and my first experience of the prototype was Fatboy Slim in the Sahara Tent at Coachella - that was the moment that we knew we had the right 'tuning' as we were able to fully enjoy the music (and dance like a-holes) without having our ears ring afterwards...
@fritzanity yes! I ordered a pair for my buddy and I, clearly excited for them to arrive. First venue will probably be Above & Beyond at MSG in a few weeks :)
