Has anyone else pre-ordered the Kanoa wireless bluetooth headphones yet? I did a couple weeks ago and i'm starting to get hyped. I was a bit nervous because of the lack of info on their website but they seem to be a lot more responsive over Facebook and Instagram. 

I saw another thread with a comparison chart and the half-off deal they're having sold me... now to justify it to the wife. 

anyone have any concerns or excitements?? 

I thought they had a built in heartbeat sensor but if you read carefully it's based off the app... but the long battery life/audio quality are what i'm most worried/excited about... 

another guy who preordered it definitely did his research and set up a website thats outlining everything including other brands (Bragi Dash, Earins and the FreeWavz) and he is updating it as more info comes out..

Quick update for anyone who cares, the promo coupon code BLAMEMICHAEL no longer works, but if you use KANOAFAN it drops the price by $10!

 

[nickdelvecchio]

UPDATE: batch1 is closed, batch 2 had started... About $30 more but still a decent price! It has jumped from 2% to 34% in 2 days!!

This guys been keeping up with them:

awesome! I'm bummed it got pushed back... I was so excited.... I'm REALLY hoping they pull through at this point! I've referred 10 people on top of my preorder!

I'm really tempted by these....Has anyone in the UK ordered as I'd be curious to know what they are estimating shipping at.

These and the Bragi's are both really interesting.  OOOOHHHHHH such a tough call!

 

[nickdelvecchio]

I'm in the US, but they're saying June/July for shipping now

Has anyone received these yet? Any word?

 

[nickdelvecchio]

Website says June/July... I've got 3 coming... I'm hoping it's true!

 

[talan7]

I hope so too, for your sake! I'll wait till I know they're real.

Dude, that's not a review. That's a press release posing as a blog post.

 

[talan7]

Any word on final delivery? Their Facebook page is brimming with photos of where they've been and all kind of athletes promoting. Is it just one pair of earphones that they're using for these photos or what?

 

[talan7]

They're selling batch 2 and saying it ships summer but batch 1 hasn't shipped.

Nick I am a constant early adopter and ordered a while go, but with each passing day my skepticism increases.  I have done extensive research and can't verify even one SINGLE person who has used a final version of these for more than a photo engagement.  Not even the 'athlete pitch people' can answer a simple 'Yes' when asked how they like them.  And guess why...they don't have them!!!  I truly hope I am wrong, but Kanoa is now bordering very closely on breaking the law and inviting a class action suit:  
 
THE FTC’S ENDORSEMENT GUIDES: BEING UP-FRONT WITH CONSUMERS
Endorsements are an important tool for advertisers and they can be persuasive to consumers. But the law says they also have to be truthful and not misleading. In addition, the Endorsement Guides let endorsers know that they shouldn’t talk about their experience with a product if they haven’t tried it, or make claims about a product that would require proof they don’t have.
 
The FTC looks especially closely at advertising claims that can affect consumers’ pocketbooks – ... and on conduct related to high-tech products.

maybe they don't have enough money and they need batch 2 money to make batch 1.
