Wearhaus Inc. was a consumer electronics company founded in 2013 by Richie Zeng and Nelson Zhang, two engineering students who dropped out of UC Berkeley to start the venture. The company aimed to make music a more social experience.
The founders, Richie Zeng and Nelson Zhang, met at UC Berkeley and bonded over their shared passion for music. This shared interest led them to develop the concept of social headphones, which would allow users to listen to the same music simultaneously.
Wearhaus' flagship product was the Wearhaus Arc, a pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones. The key feature of the Arc was its ability to sync with other nearby Arc headphones, creating a personal, silent disco-like experience. Users could broadcast their music to other Arc users in the vicinity, and others could tune in. The headphones also featured customizable light rings that could be set to any color.
The company's business model was based on the direct sale of these headphones to consumers. Wearhaus raised a total of $4.03 million in funding over two rounds from two investors. However, the company appears to be no longer in operation, as its website is defunct and its products are unavailable for purchase.
