Knowles and Audiodo Work Together to Maximize Personalized Listening with TWS Earbuds

Knowles announced a collaboration with Audiodo, the pioneers in personalized sound optimization technology from Sweden, to explore the full potential of Knowles balanced armatures. The Audiodo Personal Sound platform requires the drivers used in over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids and true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds to deliver an extra level of precision, and detail across the full range of sound. A requirement that matches Knowles own research in extended frequency response.

JLab has selected Knowles' RAN balanced armature (BA) drivers to deliver premium sound reproduction on the new Epic Lab Edition true wireless earbuds. The Epic Lab Edition are the first True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds to feature the Knowles Preferred Listening Response Curve, powered by the hybrid combination of a dynamic driver for the extended bass response and the Knowles balanced armature for the extended high frequencies.

Knowles Corporation has joined forces with consumer audio brand Edifier in the creation of the NeoBuds Pro 2 True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds. The new flagship TWS earbud design from Edifier raises the bar for premium wireless audio with the help of Knowles RAN balanced armature (BA) receivers and SiSonic MEMS microphone technology. The new flagship earbuds are the first to debut Edifier's proprietary Wide-Band Multi-Channel ANC.

Swedish digital audio processing pioneer Dirac and leading multinational chipset maker BES announced a partnership to pre-integrate the Dirac Virtuo and Dirac Opteo software onto BES chipsets to be used by leading headphone manufacturers to deliver optimized performance in any headphone type. The announcement was made at CES 2023, where it was confirmed that boAt, Monoprice, and Sudio are the first headphone brands to leverage these Dirac-enabled BES chipsets in their devices.
