écoute TH2
The Next Generation of Wearable Hi-Fi

Experience a Full Hi-Fi System

What if headphones didn’t sound like headphones? Instead of shrinking a full hi-fi setup into a tiny chip, the team behind écoute basically stuffed an entire audio chain into a headset.

We are talking about a real vacuum tube preamp, true dual-mono amplification, and separate signal paths for the left and right channels. That is the kind of architecture you normally see sitting on a rack in someone’s listening room, not hanging on a headphone stand.

The goal is simple: recreate the depth and warmth of a full system so music feels staged in front of you rather than jammed inside your head.

The TH2 builds on earlier models thanks to deeper bass, cleaner highs, and a lower noise floor, along with features like hybrid noise control, app-based tuning, and support for high-resolution Bluetooth codecs like LDAC.

The écoute TH2 is a true audiophile setup. They will be the rare pair of headphones that makes you forget you are wearing headphones at all.

The Travel Sling
Versatile for Urban & Outdoor Enthusiasts

Versatile Sling for Urban & Outdoor Enthusiasts

The Travel Sling comes from the same team behind 8000Kicks’ hemp backpacks that already pulled in more than 10,000 backers, and this time they have taken that experience and shrunk it into something smaller yet more versatile.

The Travel Sling is compact when you want to travel light, but it expands for when your life is a bit more hectic. Phone, wallet, passport, charger, headphones, notebook, sunglasses, even a water bottle all have a place without turning the bag into a cluttered mess.

There are a lot of thoughtful touches packed into this small carry. A hidden back pocket keeps valuables tucked safely against your body, magnetic snaps on the front pocket give you quick access to things like your phone or sunglasses, and the internal water bottle pocket means you aren’t digging around every time you need a drink.

The hemp fabric adds durability and weather resistance, which feels right for something designed to move between city streets and weekend trails.

The Travel Sling is a simple carry solution that keeps your essentials close without making a big deal about it.

Ti-RevoBit Ratchet:
Titanium Multi-Tool for Everyday Carry

All-in-one Titanium Pocket Ratchet Tool

The Ti-RevoBit Ratchet is a pocket-sized titanium gadget that packs a surprising amount of functionality into something small enough to become a part of your everyday carry.

At the center of it all is a clever ratchet system paired with a 180° folding design, which makes switching directions quick and natural while keeping the bit securely in place.

It comes with five bits and an extension rod, and it works with any standard 1/4-inch bits, so you can customize it however you like.

But the Ti-RevoBit Ratchet does not stop at being a screwdriver. It also doubles as a pry bar, saw, package opener, and even a window breaker for emergency situations.

The revolver-style bit storage spins like a fidget toy, which means it might end up in your hand even when nothing actually needs fixing.

Built from GR5 titanium and designed for durability, it feels like one of those tools you keep nearby simply because it is useful, satisfying to handle, and ready for whatever small problem shows up next.

MOTOR-ZERO 5.0 New 2-in-1 design

Shaving and Nose Hair Removal

Some grooming tools do one thing well. Others try to do too much. The MOTOR-ZERO 5.0 takes a more practical approach. It is a compact 2-in-1 grooming tool that switches between a shaver and a nose hair trimmer with a simple magnetic snap. No twisting, no tiny parts to wrestle with. Just swap the head and keep moving.

The aluminum body has a polished, almost mirror-like finish and a solid feel in the hand. It also packs in a few thoughtful touches. There is a mirror hidden inside the lid for quick cleanups when you are nowhere near a bathroom, a self-sharpening blade system meant to keep things running smoothly for the long haul, and a motor built for quiet but capable trimming.

It charges with USB-C, runs for months on a charge, and is fully waterproof so you can rinse it off without thinking twice.

Toss it in a gym bag, travel kit, or even a pocket and you basically have a tiny barber shop ready whenever your face needs to be a little less hairy.

NeoSander:
Mini Electric Reciprocating Detail Sander

The World’s First Palm-Sized Detail Sander

NeoSander: Mini Electric Reciprocating Detail Sander is built for the moments when regular sanders just don’t cut it.

Instead of the usual gears and rods, it uses a direct linear motor that sends power straight to the sanding head. The result is fast, controlled back and forth motion that feels precise rather than chaotic. At up to 13,000 strokes per minute, it moves quickly, but never feels jumpy, which is exactly what you want when you are working on tight corners, edges, or delicate details that cannot afford mistakes.

NeoSander is a complete sanding solution. Eight different head shapes, eight grits of sandpaper, color coded heads so you never lose track, and even the ability to swap in a saw blade for small cuts.

Vibration is kept in check with a counterweight, the cordless design keeps your hands free, and the compact size lets you see exactly what you are doing.

This is the kind of tool that feels thoughtfully designed for makers who care about control and finish, not just speed.
