xMEMS Labs and Merry Electronics Showcase Two-Way Headphone Reference Design at CES 2025

Underscoring the potential of solid-state MEMS microspeakers over-the-ear headphones, xMEMS Labs and Merry Electronics announced they will demonstrate a new production-ready reference design at CES 2025. Targeting both premium wireless over-the-ear headphones and gaming applications, Merry highlights xMEMS’ patented 2-way module architecture as a way to improve spatial audio accuracy and reduce weight for gamers, among other benefits.

Intended to accelerate the adoption of its MEMS microspeakers in true wireless earbuds and in-ear monitors, xMEMS Labs announced the availability of two innovative reference designs available for purchase directly at the xMEMS web store. These reference designs, featuring production-ready MEMS drivers, allow developers to get familiarized with the implementation and performance of xMEMS products, setting brands or manufacturers on a clear and accelerated path to market.

The new Cypress MEMS speaker from xMEMS Labs achieves 40X louder bass response on a single monolithic, miniaturized device, achieving well above the 130dB SPL at low frequencies, required for ANC implementations on TWS earbuds. The new xMEMS Cypress achieves this groundbreaking performance by using ultrasound technology. The new development will be demonstrated at CES 2024 by appointment only, with mass production scheduled for late-2024.

Semiconductor pioneer xMEMS Labs announced the launch of xMEMS Live – China 2023, a two-day seminar aimed at demonstrating the company's technology for Chinese consumer tech and audio brands through product demos, keynotes and in-depth tech-talk presentations. The seminars will take place September 18 at the Renaissance Caohejing Hotel in Shanghai, and on September 20 at the Westin Nanshan in Shenzhen. The seminar signal xMEMS significant expansion throughout Asia, North America, and Europe.
