Limpert Tech "SullyCast" on ALT 105.7 and iHeartRadio 6/1/19 - Summer Travel Gadgets

On the road again.....

A lot of us will be on the road again this summer.

The summer travel season is heating up.... literally and figuratively

Many of us will be taking short or micro-trips

According to a new survey by Allianz Global Assistance, the majority (57%) of Americans did not take a leisure trip longer than four nights in the last year. What’s more, nearly three-quarters (72%) of Millennials took at least one micro-trip – defined in the Allianz survey as a trip lasting fewer than five nights – as compared to 69 percent of Gen Xers and 60 percent of Baby Boomers.



Here are some gadgets you might want to bring along...

If you're going on a long drive this summer, keep your kids entertained and their hearing safe with Puro Sound Labs' PuroQuiet or BT2200 Volume Limited Headphones. Both headphones give kids the opportunity to independently enjoy their music, videos and games with great sound-- even in noisy environments-- while parents can have peace of mind that their child's hearing health is safe.

PuroQuiet Headphones
While there are a number of companies making headphones for kids, Puro Sound Labs has been top-rated by experts for their dedication to preserving healthy hearing. For starters, their PuroQuiet headphones use advanced DSP to limit the volume to 85dB, which experts consider a safe level for up to 8 hours of listening. Puro also adds 26dB of active noise cancellation (ANC), which greatly suppresses outside noise, providing the optimum quiet environment for a premium listening experience. Add in wireless Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, and up to 22 hours of battery life, and your kids can have wire-free studio quality sound wherever you take them.
