KANOA has redefined earphones by cutting the cords completely,” said Cival Van Der Lubbe, CEO, KANOA. “Whether you are running, biking, lifting weights, doing yoga, dancing, or even snowboarding or kitesurfing, wires will no longer hold you back from doing the things you love or ruin your posture and performance while listening to your favorite music.
