Our future plans are to market strategically and have every household knows about it
The design concept took about a month to decide on its features, the engineering of acoustic design took about 3 months of trial and error to get it right. And the last phase was to synchronize the design and engineering to make it perfect. The total process of the design phase took around six months to complete.
There were three concepts based on the client's specifications and requirements. All three design concepts serve a different purpose and features. The client chooses the existing design directions.
The client has produced it in mass-market and selling it on Amazon.
