Poppins, which launched on Indiegogo last week, hit its target after just three days. It is an attractive device that quickly makes the connection between a phone and headphones wire free, allowing the user to keep their phone tucked away in a handbag, jacket, pocket or rucksack. Unlike rival systems Poppins uses innovative, advanced technology to ensure high quality sound.
The clever device, which comes in a range of different colours and attaches magnetically, can connect wirelessly to any Bluetooth enabled device allowing the user to not only to lose the tether to a phone but also share music from multiple other sources.
•Plug a Poppins into a stereo system, connect multiple Poppins-enabled or Bluetooth headphones and share music with a group or crowd - small get together or silent disco
•Children travelling in a car can use Poppins-enabled Bluetooth headphones to share music streaming from a phone or tablet, while parents continue to listen to different music in the front
•Colleagues editing music or video or attending a video conference can attach Poppins to a computer and both listen in, without disturbing the rest of the team
Gooseberry has a proven track record in crowdfunding - its Smart Buckle campaign, which ran earlier this year shipped within two months of the campaign ending - to date 8,000 units have been sold. Gooseberry will follow a similar timeline with Poppins and ship in February.
