Bulo, the Newest Breath Analysis Device Accelerated by SAMSUNG Launches on Kickstarter and Hits Over 400% of Its Funding Goal in Less Than a Week


News Image

From people with respiratory issues to professional athletes, Bulo aims to provide the boost that these people will need to accelerate recovery and enhance physical performance.

In 2017, three SAMSUNG engineers teamed up to compete at the SAMSUNG Hackaton event in Seoul, South Korea. During this time the idea for Bulo was first conceptualized. After the event, the three engineers led by Inpyo Lee left SAMSUNG to create Breathings, a startup focused on creating healthcare products that could improve the lives of individuals in an innovative and convenient way.

For the next two years, Breathings designed and developed Bulo, the world’s first breath analysis device that measures the breath to gives precise measurements on the state of one’s respiratory system. While similar devices can be found in hospitals and clinics, Inpyo Lee created Bulo so that people can get preliminary results before getting expensive tests done. For that reason, Bulo launched on April 20th, 2020 through Kickstarter and successfully raised more than 400% of its original funding goal.

To use Bulo, users inhale and exhale into the device for a set amount of time. Bulo’s propriety software will then analyze the data and display it through the accompanying smartphone app which will be available for Android and iOS devices. This data shows three different data points: lung age, lung capacity, and lung strength.

Inpyo Lee hopes that this device will allow its users to be more self-aware about the state of their health and also empowers people to use the data to customize their physical workout regiments. From people with respiratory issues to professional athletes, Bulo aims to provide the boost that these people will need to accelerate recovery and enhance physical performance.

Breathings has announced that the number of early bird rewards has been increased so that more people can have access to Bulo at an affordable price. Prices for Bulo start at $84 + shipping with add on options available for additional mouthpieces. Any editors, journalists, bloggers, or social media influencers interested in receiving a sample to review are encouraged to submit an inquiry through the Bulo Kickstarter campaign page.

Audio-Technica QuietPoint® Wireless Active Noise-Cancelling In-Ear Headphones

Audio-Technica’s new ATH-ANC300TW truly wireless in-ear headphones offer improved high-fidelity sound and superior noise cancelling, without requiring any connecting wires.

The result is improved high-fidelity sound and superior noise cancelling performance, all without requiring any connecting wires.

The Audio-Technica ATH-ANC300TW (SRP: US$229.00) utilizes digital hybrid noise cancellation. In this design, the ANC mics are located both in front of and behind the driver, with one of the ANC mics mounted in a unique horizontal configuration within the sound chamber. This allows the location of the driver and geometry of the chamber to be optimized for an ideal balance of ambient noise reduction and audio performance. The ATH-ANC300TW’s 5.8 mm drivers feature a diamond-like carbon coated diaphragm that combines light weight with rigidity for faster response time and reduced distortion, along with powerful, impactful sound with generous bass response and improved high-frequency extension and clarity.

The headphones support Bluetooth 5.0 and are compatible with aptX™ and AAC (as well as SBC) codecs for the best-possible wireless audio reproduction. A useful quick hear-through function allows some ambient sound to be heard if the listener wants to be aware of his or her outside environment. The ATH-ANC300TW also features Qualcomm® TrueWireless™ Stereo Plus, a special low-latency function that ensures that users can stream audio with no disruption and a stable connection.

The ATH-ANC300TW offers up 4.5 hours of music on a single charge and its compact protective carrying case also serves as a charger to provide an additional 13.5 hours of use. The headphones come with XS, S, M and L-sized eartips and a USB-C charging cable. The ATH-ANC300TW’s operation can be customized using the Audio-Technica Connect smartphone app for iOS and Android.

Audio-Technica’s other QuietPoint wireless noise-cancelling models include the top-of-the-line over-ear ATH-ANC900BT, plus the over-ear ATH-ANC700BT and ATH-ANC500BT and in-ear ATH-ANC100BT (SRP: US$329.00, US$199.00, US$99.00 and US$99.00). The ATH-ANC900BT also features the company’s digital hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) technology, while the other models combine outstanding sound quality with exceptional value and ease of use.
