Aleck Punks


True wireless audio and communications headset with Push-To-Talk for bike helmets from Aleck

Product information "Aleck Punks"
It’s time for a totally amplified ride, with music pumping you up, hearing your friends’ joy, dropping ‘whoops’ and ‘yips’, all while maintaining perfect situational awareness. 
That’s what you get with the Punks. They’re slim, true wireless speakers that offer Hi-Fi near-ear audio and double as a clear voice, unlimited range group comms system for your group. Feel like miles of competitive trash talking? Better use Party Mode. Want to chat less? Enable Push-to-Talk. Either way you have all the glove-friendly controls at your fingertips so you can keep that Strava machine safely tucked away. 

Your environment plus amazing sound 
The acoustic system in the Punks is a special experience in a small package. You'll hear ultra clear audio while at the same time staying aware of the environment around you. There is nothing else like it. We all know that situational awareness is key to a safe ride. Hear the urban traffic around you, or just hear your tires on the trail, ensuring you're always connected to your surroundings. The Punks are tuned to handle a variety of helmet designs; different strap lengths and distances to the ear, while still maintaining bass response, clarity of sound and not creating noise pollution. 

Talk to your crew wherever they are
Chat with your crew using open channel Party or Push-To-Talk modes. You can ride in Santa Cruz, California and speak clearly with friends riding in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain! We measured over a hundred of the most popular bike helmets, by brands like Smith, Bell, Giro, 100%, Specialized, POC, Thousand, Bern, Kask, Bontrager, and Sweet Protection. The Punks are designed to fit almost any open face helmet on the market. 

Why do they sound so good?
We chose a driver that provided the best clarity and bass response possible in a small package. The 22 x 14mm oval design of the speaker provides high sensitivity which increases volume without zapping battery power. The driver has more diaphragm surface area producing additional bass to counter the limitations inherent to the open face helmet use case. Rectangular speakers buckle at the corners causing distortion. The Punks oval speaker design reduces distortion, and increases clarity at higher excursion. Finally, we angled the speaker slightly inside the enclosure to give it more directional power to deliver full frequency clarity to the user's ear with more precision. 

Unlimited range comms. But how?
Aleck group communication runs over cell networks and it has no range limitations like radio based systems. Whether you are in an open channel "Party" or "Push-to"talk", both are designed to work with mimimal cell signal, and if you lose signal, it is self-healing, so you are automatically added back to the chat. Most of us are already carrying our phones, so there is a weight and bulk advantage over radio based systems. 

Blocks the wind, so you can be heard
Engineering a small, lightweight device that could handle intense wind noise was challenging. Our engineers developed three layers of wind noise reduction: 1) mechanical,  2) secondary mic environmental noise cancellation, and the crucial final layer 3) a cloud-based noise reduction algorithm. 

3 Layers of Wind Noise Reduction
Layer 1 - Specialized mic with 3 mechanical barriers; wind screen, tube offset & open cell foam
Layer 2 - Secondary mic for ENC (environmental noise cancellation)
Layer 3 - Cloud based software noise reduction (NR) 

But are they light & rugged?
Coming in at a miniscule 5,7 x 2,7 x 1 cm and only 16 grams each, you will forget the Punks are there. Dust & Water Resistant - IP65 rated to handle any dust, dirt, water, and sweat thrown at it.
