Well, I was looking for headphones that I could use with my iPhone 7 and all of the name brand headsets were over $100. I did find some affordable models, but I wasn't familiar with the vendors and I would have to wait a long time for products shipped from China. The problem isn't that the headphones are made in China, but that they take too long to ship from China.
Products from China are affordable, but can take weeks to arrive. And if I have a problem with the product, I have to deal with a company or seller in China. I don't want the hassle of dealing with a foreign company over warranties and shipping. I searched for vendors in the US that sold and supported a cheap bluetooth headset, but didn't find any.
So, I contacted a manufacturer to buy bluetooth headsets to resell in the US so others don't have the same problem. I wanted to offer bluetooth headphones for as cheap as possible so I discovered ways to keep the cost down. One way to reduce costs is to buy in bulk. Another way to save money is to reduce the product weight and size by getting rid of the packaging. I asked the manufacturer to ship products in plastic bags (instead of boxes) which cost less and saved me a lot of money on shipping!
I can set the price to $19.95 ($14.95 pre-order) because I found ways to reduce the product and shipping costs. I even offer free shipping for US residents! You may not have heard of Uchikura & Co. before, but that's because this is my first time selling a product like this. I am a consumer with the same wants and needs as you. I know what I want from a vendor and can provide that standard of quality. I personally check each set of headphones that go out and if there is a problem with the product, I will make it right.
If you have any questions about my company or product, please email me. We expect to start shipping headphones out around the 17th of April. With your support I can continue to offer products at the best price and customer service.
You can spend more to buy inexpensive wired headset for your smartphone. But for the same price or less, you can order our bluetooth headset with microphone for your smartphone. Free shipping too.
