USound Expands MEMS Speaker Integrations to Support Health Monitoring and Proximity Sensing

During CES 2025, USound introduced two new innovative integrations in its growing range of MEMS speakers, unlocking new features for true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds with no additional components. The Austrian specialist in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) speakers announced a breakthrough that enables earbuds to feature advanced health monitoring and proximity detection, directly in the same device.

Knowles Corporation will unveil its latest state-of-the-art audio technologies at CES 2025, fresh from the announcement of the sale of its MEMS microphones business, and now focusing more on balanced armature and sensors. CES attendees are invited to visit Knowles at the Venetian Resort, Toscana Suite #3801, to explore groundbreaking audio innovations across hearing health, true wireless stereo (TWS), open wearable stereo (OWS), and audiophile applications.

USound, the MEMS microspeaker pioneer announced a strategic cooperation with OBO Pro2 to manufacture a new audio module that exceeds the requirements for high-resolution in-ear monitors (IEMs) and true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds, including ANC-based designs. Incorporating OBO Pro2's cutting-edge Silicon Rubber technology and a USound MEMS driver, the new Greip dual-input speaker module enables superior audio performance and integration flexibility.

Following the announcement of the availability of a fully integrated audio module for its MEMS drivers, USound announced a collaboration with partners to develop and deliver a reference design for a cutting-edge over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid. The reference design will integrate USound’s Kore 4.0 audio module, ASE’s Micro SiP (System-in-Package), and OBO Pro2’s hearing aid design, delivering an advanced hearing aid alternative for the emerging OTC market.

OBO Pro.2’s new full-range liquid silicone rubber (LSR) micro speakers are designed for next generation earphones, wearables, and other electronic devices. These speakers feature a highly precise, customizable, and durable LSR speaker surround. OBO Pro.2’s LSR know-how and complete micro speaker value chain allow for a precision product at a competitive price.
