and Entertained At The Same Time

We all love air conditioning. Whether it be too
cool down during the hot summer or to heat up
during the freezing cold winter, it’s always nice
to keep your body at just the right temperature
for comfort. However, once you leave the
comfort of your building and into the outside
world, you have to say goodbye to these
luxuries and face the harsh weather that makes
you wonder how the hell your ancient homo
sapiens ancestors survived. Well, worry not,
the company G2T has got your back, with their
new N2 – a portable air conditioning device! The
Kickstarter starts off by warning you on the way
intense weather can affect your health, and then
moves on to telling you just how stylish it looks
whilst keeping your body temperature under
control whilst keeping you connected to your
smartphone.
According to tests, the N2 is actually pretty
effective in keeping you warm during cold days
and keeping you cool during hot days.
It also saves money and electricity, wherein the
traditional air conditioner uses 2,352 kWh per
year and costs $300 per month, whilst the G2T
N2 only uses 6 kWh per year, for only $189 for
the entire product which is rechargeable.
The G2T N2 also lets you connect to any
smartphone via bluetooth and allows you to
enjoy hands-free phone calls, stream live music,
radio, and podcasts, act as a speaker source for
YouTube videos, and has a GPS system just in
case you get lost.
They also emphasized on the speaker function
of this new gadget. Stating the fact that 26
million Americans between ages of 20-69 have
suffered permanent noise-induced hearing loss
from extended use of headphones and earbuds,
and the N2 protects your eardrums from further
damage as its speaker is a bit further from your
ear, but close enough for you to be able to enjoy
your music.
