The Launch of Soundcore Frames :sunglasses:

Were you counting down to the launch of Soundcore Frames last week? It was a busy but fulfilling week for all of us and to finally see it go live, we were beyond excited! We’ve already seen some really cool reviews for the audio glasses such as:

1. Macrumors

“The Frames offered good stereo separation in my experience.”

2. Cordbusters

“They will certainly please you with decent audio quality, excellent voice calling capabilities, and the ability to just look cool with a unique fashionable gadget on your head.”

3. And a detailed video review by Brannon No d

Thanks for the update @Winniew95, and for selecting me member of the week.

Great photo @Craig_Paterson and super good thread @jess4002

I’d love to see return of:

  • Soundcore sessions
  • Friday night new music playlist :wink:

The podcasts are fun and well done too @sean.L the last one with Cassidy Turbin had a nice retro feel… had me looking at my defunct boom box (hitachi) wondering how to record through my headphones…

Wow! Thanks @Winniew95! My favorite #MondayMotivation song that keeps me going would be “Cut To The Feeling” by Carly Rae Jepsen! It brings a smile to my face every single time and makes me want to just get up and dance around!

A little odd, but I listen to this on Monday mornings. The song is actually about him making music which is his passion, but gets me kickstarted to do what I love:

Cassidy Turbin was such a fun podcast, I’m excited to share the next one with everybody too.

First on my list for the next session would be mr. Dave Giles as it would be cool to know a bit more about his quest for abbey road.

I believe he is ohhhh so close…

@Hannah I think you guys do a lot of good stuff but I needed to think about it for a bit.

I do like the little games or puzzles that you play with us at times. I think those are fun. You can always guide them into a particular themes if you wanted. I actually though maybe doing a game like Jackbox party packs where you could stream them or have members join the games.

I did like participation activity as well with the Friday songs or something similar.

With that said and with the current set up, I think a few more opportunities to gain giveaway tickets. You have the older members who had their points transferred and may not have gotten the notes or giveaway tickets from those levels and are lacking them, people do not to cash in notes, or other reasons

I think you could do a diversity in the leaderboard and how it is played. I know it has been a hot topic over the years… It could lead to more participation within the months than knowing once a certain lead means people will stop interacting as much

Some suggestions off the top my head:

  1. Do it like it as it is currently is
  2. Do it like it is but randomly select the winners from the top 10 (comments saidon leaderboard that the top 10 win prizes but did not say it had to be the top 3. I think that is more exciting to know the 10th person could win too
  3. I like the one contest where we had to write an experience and won the prize. (@Tank won a Trance, I think). So you could 3 contest with 3 winners or 1 thread contest with 3 winners for the month)
  4. Could do the social media contest… basically include social media into number 3 winners (
    Maybe have a winner on 3 platforms or one here n 2 on another platform, or picked from all platforms or etc)
  5. Participation- top 10 still get tickets but if you meet certain criteria, you can potentially win. (Say you have made at least say 60 comments (2 comments a day) in a month then you are qualified for the top months prize. Right now you have probably less than 15 that would qualify right now. This could increase that participation
    6 Do from all core update winners n then randomly select winners
