Muzik was founded in 2012 by Jason Hardi. [1] He had previously worked with 50 Cent's SMS Audio headphones line. [2] The company demoed a version of its headphones at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2013.

On September 28, 2023, Muzik filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. [7]
Muzik's headphones are wireless and are controlled by four touch-sensitive buttons on the outside of the right earphone, which allow the user to switch between songs, control volume, and share music with friends via social media networks such as Twitter, Facebook, and Spotify.
