"Headphones will sound better when plugged into GET than when connected directly into a smartphone. GET's well designed amplification circuit enables users to hear the full potential of their headphones, something today's smartphones just can't do, as their integrated audio outputs were designed for earbud devices," says Pierre Lelièvre, Bluewave's cofounder and Head Engineer.

GET is easy to use: plugging the headphone connector, pairing it with any Bluetooth enabled source and enjoying music with the highest level of clarity. Once paired, users can answer phone calls thanks to the integrated high quality MEMS microphone, control music with the play/pause/shuffle buttons and adjust the volume without ever having to handle their phone.

GET supports all existing Codecs for Bluetooth transmission, including AAC, AptX and the upcoming 24-bit AptX-HD.

"GET is made in Canada with the highest quality standards," says Stephane Lepage, cofounder and Head of Design. "We are very proud and look forward to a worldwide distribution in 2017," adds Lepage.

GET is available today for pre-order on Indiegogo.com at an introductory price of $59 USD ($78 CAD).
