Muzik is a technology company that designs and creates state-of-the-art wearable and portable devices that allow its users to listen to, capture and share exclusive content directly with friends as well as directly to their favorite social media platforms.
Our mission is to bring inspiring people together by sharing their uniqueness through our socially connected tools. Therefore, we don’t see ourselves strictly as a technology company but as a facilitator for some of the best culture has to offer.
Muzik is pioneering a new market segment. The Muzik SmartWare™ SDK (software development kit) not only brings culture directly to the user, it also provides the user with new and unique experiences through its seamless integration with third-party apps and products.
Since the introduction of SmartWare™ in 2012, Muzik has been awarded more than 130 domestic and international patents for these innovations. Furthermore, Muzik has won multiple innovation awards, including the 2014-17 CES awards for the SmartWare™ SDK.
As a company, we take these accolades seriously and work hard to maintain our position as a thought leader in our field.
Muzik could not be more excited for our upcoming product release which we believe will be a gamechanger within the wearable technology market.
