Sundae Electronics launches new headphone
awareness device on Kickstarter
1888 Press Release - Sundae Electronics has
launched a Kickstarter campaign for a new
headphone awareness device called SoundBrake. The
device alerts headphone users to external sounds
louder than a set volume, thereby allowing them
to become aware of important events going on in
their environment. REDONDO BEACH, CA - You are
listening to headphones and can't hear the knock
at your door summoning you to sign for that
important package. Or perhaps you're at work
listening to headphones on your computer and you
can't hear the phone ring. These scenarios are
just a few examples of important events that are
missed while listening to headphones in
isolation. Tech start-up Sundae Electronics has
solved this headphone awareness problem by
inventing a new patent-pending device called
SoundBrake that alerts you to external sounds
that are louder than an adjustable
threshold. SoundBrake works with any source of
audio SoundBrake attaches between your
headphones and any audio source with a standard
3.5mm audio jack. The device can also work with
wireless headphones that use an external
transmitter. SoundBrake listens to external sound
and temporarily mutes your audio when external
sound is louder than a threshold. The threshold
can be adjusted either manually or by an
automatic feature that adjusts it to be greater
than background noise. You won't be interrupted
by normal background noise Unlike using open-air
headphones that allow outside sound to flow
through unfiltered, SoundBrake only alerts you to
outside sound volumes above an adjustable
threshold.

"I wanted to create a device that would allow
people to enjoy their audio in full isolation
while still allowing them to become aware of
important external sounds," says founder Shari
Eskenas, "Currently, there is no such device on
the market that is compatible with all sources of
audio including home theater systems, computers,
tablets, MP3 players, and smartphones. SoundBrake
is a complete solution to the headphone awareness
problem because of the inclusion of this
compatibility feature coupled with the manual and
automatic external sound threshold adjustment
options." Additional information on the
