xMEMS Labs Showcases Sleep Buds Reference Design with Active Venting at CES 2024

During CES 2024, xMEMS Labs unveiled an innovative reference design for the fast-growing sleep buds product segment. The MEMS pioneer had a lot to show at CES and the creation of reference designs using the companies new MEMS drivers speaks volumes as to the way the market is enthusiastically embracing the technology. The new reference design leverages xMEMS' solid-state Cowell drivers and Skyline DynamicVent technologies to deliver a trifecta of noise blocking, noise-masking sound, and an industry-first vented mode for improved comfort.

Finish company QuietOn announced a new breakthrough miniaturized earbuds design, in what the company claims to be the world's smallest form factor featuring industry-leading ANC technology, and the first-of-its-kind solution designed to optimize sleep. The company's QuietOn 3 active noise cancelling earbuds are tuned to significantly reduce low-frequency noise in order to induce better sleeping.

Now with "clinically proven technology," Bose officially launched the Sleepbuds II, the next generation of its bedtime wearable earbuds to help people fall asleep faster. According to Bose, the quickly forgotten original Sleepbuds, have been replaced by a new model with "demonstrably better" noise masking and introducing new categories of content to combat the other barrier to rest: the inability to relax.

Apparently, a large percentage of the population is looking for a solution to be able to get more hours of quality sleep without hearing city noise, neighbors or a snoring partner... So, you use earplugs, right? Well, not so fast. According to Bose, earplugs are not enough. You need an active system that fits in your ear comfortably when you are in bed and at least one of your ears is pressed against the pillow. That's why Bose designed the noise-masking, launched its very first campaign on Indiegogo (amassing an impressive $450,320 USD), and now made it available worldwide.
