“No child should be left behind due to lack of resources.”

MENLO PARK, Calif. (PRWEB)
August 24, 2020

Shay Patel, a high school junior in the San Francisco Bay Area, and his team of large-hearted teens are on a mission to level the distance learning playing field. He and his team just launched an app, AlleyOop, which directly connects people who need eLearning devices and sports gear to those who wish to donate those items. Everything listed on the app and downloading the app are totally free. This is a game changer as there is no other app nor service doing this. Give Gear. Get Gear. Free. With a growing number of schools announcing distance and hybrid learning models for fall, there is still an eLearning device shortage as well as a lack of school sports. This teen, armed with his app, addresses both of those gaps. AlleyOop is available for download now on the App Store and Google Play Store.

A little about Shay Patel:

Since I was young I have been insanely passionate about sports. As an eleven-year-old at basketball practice at the Boys & Girls Club, I was surprised to see that most of the other kids there were not playing in proper basketball shoes. Some wore flip flops. That didn’t sit well with me so I took matters into his own hands, translating empathy into action, launching Alley-Oop Kids. It’s a nonprofit that I continue to run, 5 years later, with a singular mission: To level the playing field by giving under-served kids access to sports gear, training, and experiences. In light of COVID-19 I’ve also added eLearning devices to our efforts. Our new app is one of the many efforts of Alley-Oop Kids.

Yamaha TW-E7A True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds

“By adapting to each person and his or her surroundings, our headphones allow listeners to stay true to themselves and truly enjoy the music that shapes them,” said Alex Sadeghian, director, Consumer Audio, Yamaha Corporation of America.

BUENA PARK, Calif (PRWEB)
August 20, 2020

Yamaha recently unveiled a brand-new line of wireless headphones that intelligently adapt and respond to listeners and their environment. As the size and shape of each person’s ears and head are uniquely different – as are the acoustics and surroundings they find themselves in each day, these new headphones allow listeners to enjoy authentic music and True Sound experiences through proprietary adaptive technologies, wherever they may go.

Eight new models comprise the lineup, ranging from wireless earbuds, including true wireless, to active noise cancelling over-ear headphones. All models feature new technology from Yamaha that optimizes the listening experience for each person.

The hero models in the new line feature Listening Optimizer. Unlike alternatives that take a single measurement at one moment in time, Listening Optimizer works in real time, making ongoing measurements and subtly adjusting if the fit or wearing conditions happen to change, to ensure the best sound.

The top of the line, YH-E700A wireless noise-cancelling headphones, features Advanced ANC, which goes beyond standard active noise cancelling by incorporating a new proprietary technology from Yamaha. Unlike typical noise-cancelling, which can often “color” or degrade sound, Advanced ANC analyzes and removes background noise while keeping the music signal pure and untouched. For situations where a listener wants to stay aware of their surroundings or communicate with another person, these and other noise-cancelling models include an Ambient Sound mode.

All models offer Listening Care, a technology that allows listeners to hear full-range sound – from high to low frequencies – even at low volume settings. This overcomes a challenge faced by typical headphones, where low volume listening goes hand-in-hand with a pronounced reduction to certain frequency ranges, resulting in listeners cranking up the volume to levels that may affect hearing health. The long-term impacts may be especially compounded by daily wear. Listening Care solves for this, encouraging lower volume listening by intelligently adjusting sound frequencies to maintain the full-range sound. Select models feature enhanced functionality, which analyzes music and background noise in real time to automatically achieve the optimum balance at a listener’s selected volume setting.

“By adapting to each person and his or her surroundings, our headphones allow listeners to stay true to themselves and truly enjoy the music that shapes them,” said Alex Sadeghian, director, Consumer Audio, Yamaha Corporation of America. “Now, with our new line of headphones, from the moment you wake up and head out for the day, to when you return home and relax with your favorite shows at night, Yamaha is there for you with unparalleled audio every step of the way.”

Yamaha is no stranger to the headphones space, taking the past several years to carefully develop and define its next contributions to the category. As the world’s largest maker of musical instruments and audio gear, Yamaha is uniquely positioned as a leader on the authentic expression of music and sound. It’s with that passion and understanding that Yamaha pursued its dedication to the craft even further with this new line and features to optimize musical enjoyment both inside and outside of the home.

All of the new headphones feature app control, in addition to simple controls to make phone calls, activate your favorite voice assistant and control your music with easy-to-find buttons. Each model offers a carrying case, charging cables and extended battery life between charges. Additional features and accessories vary by model.
