New Bamboo Speakers Feedback
Hi Guys, I spent the last year in Vietnam working with local coiled bamboo craftsmen to create a Bluetooth speaker from this amazing handicraft, I’m really happy with the end result but wanted some feedback from you guys before I launch it. See pics in link below. Thanks in advance, Bruno.

@vicweast & @nonoise here's an image of the back: http://i.imgur.com/wRhQQoY.jpg?1 They have Bluetooth and Aux connection, theres also a Potentiometer on the back. There's 2 different sizes of speaker the big ones specs are as follows: - 2 way speaker - 5" medium bass driver : 4 Ohm - 0.5" tweeter: 8 Ohm - frequency responce 50 - 20,000 Hz +/- 3 dB - 28cm diameter hand made coiled bamboo shell The smaller speaker specs: - 3" full range driver : 8 Ohm - bass reflex design - frequency responce 60 - 17,000 Hz +/- 3 dB - 21cm diameter hand made coiled bamboo shell Both sizes will also be sold as passive speakers for those of you with your own amp :) |
Campaign is now live! Check it out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1299448184/hazang-luxury-bamboo-speakers-handcrafted-in-vietn?t... Let me know your thoughts! |
Hi Guys, apologies for my absence, been a busy weekend! We’re launching a kickstarter this evening for the product, I’ll post the link when it’s live :) I’ll start from the top, really good point by @marktomaras they’re definitely not going to be for everyone! The biggest thing for us is that every single Hazang speaker cabinet is entirely hand made and takes several weeks to create, from plant to product. The whole process requires very few tools, just the careful eye, and attention of its skilled creator. There is a local man, woman, and family whose lives are enriched thanks to this craftsmanship. It’s because they’re not mass produced in plastic by a factory somewhere and they carry a story that people will buy them. Along with great sound of course! @mapman I can’t say i’ve ever heard the HK’s but the sound quality of the speakers is really strong, as @asvjerry pointed out, due to the shape of the Hazang it has really great natural acoustics and we’ve dedicated a lot of time to testing different internal electronic components to ensure the sound quality is on a par with the design price point is looking like it’ll be starting at €195. @gdnrbob Hopefully the above helps answer your question, and no US dealers yet, we’re launching a Kickstarter later this evening, i’ll post the link when it goes live. @asvjerry You’re spot on with what you’ve said, the smaller speaker is ported, we call it bass reflex, the bigger one is large enough to not need this. Bamboo is a beautiful wood, all our speaker cabinets are handmade as i said to marktomaras above so they actually use a natural varnish on the wood. I hope that answers everyones questions, anything else just let me know :) |
