Jooki www.jooki.rocks announced today at CES Unveiled in NY that it has won the CES® 2022 Innovation Award for Best Headphones & Personal Audio. As the world’s first screen-free Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled speaker for kids with streaming music and audio capabilities, Jooki uses innovative patented NFC ToyTouch® Technology that lets kids operate the speaker independently using figurines or tokens as a remote control. Kids can start, stop, and change Spotify playlists or MP3 files that are preset by parents with a few clicks on the Jooki app.
Guided by Montessori education principles, the award-winning Jooki player connects through Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for music and audiobook streaming. The music player helps parents empower their children to develop creativity, independence, and emotional awareness through providing them access to a wide range of pre-selected songs, music, and stories.
“We are honored to win the prestigious CES Innovation Award for Jooki,” said Christine Brendle, CEO, Jooki Inc. “As the kid’s music and story player for a screen-free childhood, Jooki is magic at a kid’s fingertips!”
