Audiodo has seen growing adoption of its sound personalization technology, which adjusts the frequency response to each users' unique hearing characteristics. This type of implementation in in-ear devices needs to be closely coupled with the transducers own characteristics so that by transforming more radically the manufacturers own sound tuning, the user doesn't cause unintended distortion and masking of other frequencies.
Knowles balanced armature (BA) drivers and Audiodo's sound personalization technology integrate seamlessly to enable manufacturers of over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids and true wireless earbuds to achieve customized listening experiences without compromising fidelity. This is an area that Knowles has been exploring in its own internal research that led to the publication of the Knowles Preferred Listening Response Curve, and subsequent recommendations for extended frequency response music reproduction.
According to a recent audio research study, hearing personalization ranks among the top motivators of TWS purchases, with 60 percent of prospective buyers noting that it impacts their purchasing decisions. Hearing personalization enhances the listening experience by allowing users to tailor their sound output to their individual hearing abilities and preferences, allowing them to hear the full range of sound from their audio devices.
Audiodo's proprietary sound optimization platform leverages advanced signal processing techniques and machine learning algorithms to analyze users' hearing profiles and optimize audio output accordingly. Users can test their hearing in each ear individually in about three minutes with the Audiodo Personal Sound app.
Audiodo’s software works well with Knowles BA drivers, which can enhance high-frequency sensitivity to deliver incredibly detailed sound in a compact form factor. Balanced armatures can produce the full range of sound, including extended treble ranges – a feature preferred by listeners across age groups and hearing abilities according to the Knowles Preferred Listening Response Curve.
"The collaboration represents a significant milestone in the audio industry, bringing together two leaders renowned for their commitment to delivering unparalleled sound experiences," says Jon Kiachian, President of MedTech and Specialty Audio at Knowles Corporation. "By combining Knowles' expertise in precision engineering and micro-acoustics with Audiodo's sophisticated Personal Sound algorithms, we empower users to enjoy music, movies and other audio content with unparalleled clarity and precision."
Integrating balanced armature drivers with Audiodo Personal Sound technology, the recently launched Meizu Live AI Noise Cancelling Hi-Fi earbuds allow listeners to choose their individualized sound output - including the Knowles Curve equalizer setting. Audiodo provided both Audiodo Personal Sound and Audiodo Equalizer for this product, which is available only in China and other countries in the APAC region. Meizu, owned by the Geely Group, is one of the leading Chinese mobile and headset producers.
Audiodo's sound optimization that leverages machine learning algorithms and Knowles balanced armatures work together in these earbuds to enhance high-frequency sensitivity and optimize the audio output for the best listening experience. Meizu's Live AI Noise Cancelling Hi-Fi earbuds are the first to use this pairing, but OEMs are now able to leverage this collaboration to deliver a superior music experience to their customers.
"Superior music experience is now accessible and possible with the right hardware and software pairings. We are excited to collaborate with Knowles to bring the precision of Personal Sound to consumers," says Amir Sheikh, CEO at Audiodo. "Together, we are redefining the boundaries of audio excellence and setting a new standard for personalized listening experiences."
