If you were asking yourself – “Where is my connected hat?” – today is your lucky day.

ZEROi is not your ordinary hat. The garment uses bone conduction technology and allows you listen to music or make phone calls, all without earphones.

This means no more cords to get tangled in. All you have to do is put the hat on and pair with your smartphone. The fabric of the garment ensures that no sound leaves the hat itself.

The intelligent wearable comes with four built-in bone conduction speakers to ensure you get high quality sound. For the uninitiated, bone conduction is the conduction of sound to the inner ear through the bones of the skull. Its been around for many years as a tool to help those with hearing loss.

Because the hat doesn’t prevent you from hearing outside sound, you can focus on your surroundings instead of your smartphone. The built in microphone is there to let you make telephone calls.

Finally, the ZEROi Smart Hat comes in a choice of colours, and is water resistant so you can wear it anywhere. One charge can last up to 5 hours.
