A start-up offering sunglasses with built-in speakers has walloped its Kickstarter goal with 23 days left still to go.
The Zungle Panther shades bring bone conductive technology, enabling wearers to listen to music without clogging up their ear canals.
The 45g Panthers feature a hidden USB port for charging, as well as discreet control buttons for media playback and managing calls. The frames come in 5 colours and offer replaceable lenses.
