That\u2019s RippleBuds\u2019 tagline for their Bluetooth in-ear headphones which feature an in-ear microphone. The idea being that no matter how noisy it is around you, your voice will be picked up loud and clear by recording it before the noise leaves your mouth. Clever, huh? They are noise cancelling and come with a choice of different sized ear-pads.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Kaptivo<\/h3>\n<p><strong>In a nutshell:<\/strong> An easy way to record and share whiteboard drawings<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"410.625\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/kaptivo\/kaptivo-for-smarter-whiteboards\/widget\/video.html\" width=\"730\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Even in the digital age, sometimes there\u2019s just no substitute for writing ideas up on a whiteboard.
