From Sol Republic to the United Kingdom; the Amps Air earphones are finally here

Britside launch for totally wireless earphones

Fraser Macdonald

Whether or not you have one of them new-fangled phones with no headphone socket, freedom is a marvellous thing. Totally wireless Bluetooth earphones like these Sol Republic Amps Airs (£149 direct from Sol Republic or on Amazon) let you swing your arms about with no fear of catching on your cable. Of course, their tiny size affects battery life but the carry case includes a 2200mAh battery capable of recharging them up to 15 times. Or splurge the whole power load on one smartphone charge – you’re free, remember, to do what you want.

About

Fraser used to wear a Psion Series 3 palmtop in a shoulder holster. Perhaps he still does.Either way, his lifelong mission - including fourteen years for Stuff - has been to see whether the consumer electronics industry can ever replicate that kind of cyborgian joy.So far: nope. Despite a plan to combine a action camera and Olympus Eye-Trek goggles to become Man Who Sees The Vision Of A Man Three Inches Taller Than Himself.He also likes mountain bikes, motorbikes, cars, helicopters. Still thinks virtual surround is witchcraft. Dislikes jetskis, despite never having been on one.
