The 'Revols' custom earphones mold to every unique ear shape by pairing with an app and adjusting to the surrounding shape of the ear. The makers of the earbuds state that "ears are as unique as our fingerprints" -- asserting that it only makes sense to get fitted for the audio device the same way you'd get fitted for orthopedics.
The buds are made with a unique gel inside that heats up and reshapes when the app is activated. This way the earbuds create a seal that blocks out outside noise and therefore, lets users listen to music at lower, safer levels.
This custom-fit shaping enables them to be extremely comfortable and secure for going for a run, to the gym or on a hike. Many standard earbuds cause earaches or constantly fall out while exercising, meaning the Revols custom earphones fill a void in the market and provide a product solution.
