- What are light-up headphones? With bright LEDs inside each earpiece, Leah headphones make it easier for drivers to see you at night.
Driving at night is never easy. When you’re looking straight into oncoming headlights, it’s easy to miss a pedestrian in dark clothing. For this reason, more deadly accidents happen at night than during the day.
If you regularly walk home from work or go jogging around the block after dark, it’s worth thinking about these risks. While reflective clothing can certainly make a difference, wearing a bright light is even better.
With bright LEDs embedded in each earpiece, the Leah light-up headphones provide a good warning to drivers. In addition, they deliver your workout playlist with excellent audio quality.
Can light-up headphones really keep you safe?
Even if you wear no other safety aids, Leah headphones will have a significant effect on your visibility after dark.
Each earpiece contains a powerful red LED light which shines brightly on dark nights. You can actually see these headphones from 100 yards away, so drivers have time to react.

Just as importantly, the design ensures that the headphones are visible through 360 degrees. Even if someone is directly behind you, the red glow can still be seen.
Depending on what you need, you can switch between steady and pulsating light, or even flick to hazard warning. You can make your choice using the supplied remote. This handset also allows you to switch tracks and answer calls.
High fidelity sound
If you’re going to have a gimmick, safety is a good one. But the Leah headphones don’t prioritize light over sound.
In fact, these headphones have been designed to deliver concert-quality audio on the move. Music lovers will enjoy the combination of rich tones and soaring highs from the Knowles balanced armature drivers.
The earpieces are ergonomically designed to ensure a comfortable fit. Thanks to a wraparound shape, they stay locked in place even when you’re running.
In addition, the Leah headphones come with three sizes of ear tips. This means you’re virtually guaranteed to get a snug fit with good sound isolation.
“Far more advanced than every other safety product on the market. Whether you are biking, running, skateboarding, or walking your dog, these headphones will keep you lit up at night to ensure you are seen. ” — Project Leah on Kickstarter
What We ❤️
Anything that makes life safer is obviously a good thing. But these headphones do not interfere with your routine. Whenever you listen to music, you’re automatically protected.
