headphones
The Canadian headphone market continuess
to show solid year over year growth, with in-creases in gross dollars and average sellingg
price. The category has matured since thee
o,
extreme increases we saw a few years ago,
n
and continued growth is primarily being driven
at
by new and exciting styles and attributes that
e
consumers are gravitating towards. We have
el
identified three key segments that we feel
h
will drive much of the category growth
through 2016:
• Bluetooth - +141% YOY
• Decibel Limited (Kid Safe) - +88%
• Ear Clip (Fitness/Active) - +64%
Source: The NPD Group, Inc. POS Retail Tracking Service
Bluetooth headphones are not new, but
they have finally hit critical mass as
y/
manufacturers are starting to get the price/quality/
value equation right. Bluetooth enabled headphoness
y.
now make up 16% of the entire headphone category.
h
Most of the volume is at the upper price tiers which
results in a very high ASP of $149.00.
o
However – we can infer that this has to less to do
y,
with consumers only wanting to spend more money,
e
and more to do with a lack of quality options at the
d
lower price tiers. This is evidenced by no brand
0
having greater than 16% share in the sub $100
segment. Important to note is that all the differentt
styles (ear clip, earbud and on ear) are all on thee
rise. Consumers are looking to replace whateverr
they are used to using with a wireless version.

Ear Clip style earbuds are on the rise as well – these are typically marketed as “active”
or “fitness” and often carry extra features like sweat resistance. The consumer buying
for this usage occasion is willing to spend a little more for these added features as evidenced by a strong ASP of $55.62.

accessory certification
2015 was the first year that mobile phone numbers surpassed land-line numbers; the
increasing penetration of smartphones and tablets in the market means customers now
have two or more mobile devices. For these reasons mobile accessories represent a huge
sales and profit opportunity to the marketplace.
Safety markings such as ETL & UL signify that the product has been tested to and found in
compliance with national safety standards by a qualified, independent testing laboratory.
Our findings show that many retailers carry products that do not comply with Canadian
certification requirements.
WHY DO CONSUMER ELECTRONICS NEED TO BE CERTIFIED?
Non-compliant devices and their chargers can potentially overheat and therefore pose a
significant safety hazard, and may be subject to government recalls.
WHAT CAN RETAILERS DO?
Non-certified products that do not meet the essential safety standards of Canadian compliance
cannot be legally sold in Canada and are not safe for your customers. Retailers in possession
of these non-compliant devices should contact their supplier.
Curve ensures the products we bring to market are certified and of the highest build quality,
offering the same functionality of OEM cables and chargers reducing dissatisfied customers
and defective returns.
CERTIFICATION MARKINGS
The UL (Underwriters Laboratories) is a worldwide safety consulting and
certification company, it maintains offices in 46 countries. UL was established
in 1894 and has participated in the safety analysis of many of the last
century’s new technologies, most notably the public adoption of electricity
and the drafting of safety standards for electrical devices and components.
UL provides safety-related certification, validation, testing, inspection, auditing, advising
and training services to a wide range of clients, including manufacturers, retailers,
policymakers, regulators, service companies, and consumers. UL is one of several companies
approved to perform safety testing recognized by Health Canada, Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA maintains a list of approved testing laboratories,
which are known as Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories. To ensure the product
meets the Canadian standards, the product certification will show ULC.
28
accessory certification
markings to look for
ETL (Electrical Testing Laboratory) is a division of Intertek Group plc (LSE: ITRK)
specializing in electrical product safety testing, EMC testing, and benchmark
performance testing. ETL operates more than 30 offices and laboratories on six
continents. The services provided by ETL are very similar in nature to UL, and the
relevant certification to Canadian Standards will show cETL.
The Apple MFi Program encompasses third-party hardware accessories
which use Apple’s licensed technology to connect electronically to iPhone,
iPad or iPod. MFi licensed technology includes: Lightning and 30-pin
connectors. Authentication coprocessors. iPod Accessory Protocol, the
protocol used to communicate with iPhone, iPad and iPod.
The FCC Declaration of Conformity, the FCC label, or the FCC mark is a certification mark employed on electronic products manufactured or sold in the United
States which certifies that the electromagnetic interference from the device is under
limits approved by the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC label is found even on
products sold outside the US territory, because they are either products manufactured in the
US and had been exported, or they were manufactured in other nations which have US as a
prime market (e.g.: Japan, China). This makes the FCC label recognizable worldwide even to
people to whom the name of the agency Federal Communications Commission is not familiar.
The Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 2002/95/EC, RoHS, short for
Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical
and electronic equipment, was adopted in February 2003.
The definition and aim of the RoHS directive is quite simple. The RoHS directive aims to restrict
certain dangerous substances commonly used in electronic and electronic equipment. Any
RoHS compliant component is tested for the presence of Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Mercury
(Hg), Hexavalent chromium (Hex-Cr), Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and Polybrominated
diphenyl ethers (PBDE). For Cadmium and Hexavalent chromium, there must be less than
0.01% of the substance by weight at raw homogeneous materials level. For Lead, PBB, and
PBDE, there must be no more than 0.1% of the material, when calculated by weight at raw
homogeneous materials. Any RoHS compliant component must have 100 ppm or less of
mercury and the mercury must not have been intentionally added to the component. In the EU,
some military and medical equipment are exempt from RoHS compliance.

type-c cables
WHAT ARE TYPE-C CABLES?
3 Billion USB cables ship per year globally as the standard connection type for devices. The
new standard is: USB Type-C Thunderbolt cables due to both increased speed and ease
of use.
SPEED: Top speed of 10GB/s and has much higher power output of up to 20V(100W)
and 5A. The majority of 15-inch notebook computers require only 60W of power, therefore
future laptops could be charged the way tablets and smartphones are now: via their USB
port. In fact Apple’s latest 12” Mac Book is the first notebook to incorporates a Type-C USB
as its primary power port.
EASE OF USE: Type-C plug is a reversible connector to both the host and device. This
means you can do away with an array of proprietary power adapters and USB cables,
moving to a single, robust solution that works for all devices. Type-C USB will significantly
cut down the amount of cables currently needed to connect, sync and power your devices.
