Former NFL player Mark Clayton has successfully secured $1 million in funding for his audio company, LIVV Audio, as part of a $1.5 million seed round investment that included participation from notable figures like tennis legend Mark Knowles. This new capital infusion will be strategically allocated to bolster LIVV Audio's marketing efforts, scale up production capabilities, and fuel ongoing innovation in their product line. The genesis of LIVV Audio's flagship product, high-performing headphones designed for athletes and active individuals, can be traced back to Clayton's personal experiences during his NFL career and subsequent rehabilitation from a knee injury while playing for the St. Louis Rams. He noticed that his over-ear headphones consistently fell off during pool-based rehab sessions, sparking the idea to create a more secure and durable audio solution for demanding physical activities.
The LIVV Pro headphones, the result of Clayton's vision, are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of athletes and active individuals. Key features include a secure over-ear fit designed to stay in place during intense workouts, an impressive 50-hour battery life for extended use, and a water-resistant construction that can withstand sweat, rain, and challenging training conditions. Recognizing the importance of hygiene for athletes, the headphones also feature removable and washable earpads. Furthermore, the LIVV Pro delivers a premium sound profile characterized by deep bass and sharp treble, aiming to provide motivation through high-quality audio. Clayton's mission for LIVV Audio is to create audio products that empower individuals to move freely in any environment, whether training, commuting, or traveling, offering a blend of luxury, durability, and top-tier sound for those who expect the best from their gear. The LIVV Pro is currently available for pre-order starting at $349.99.
