The world's first headphones that utilize cartilage conduction, the third auditory pathway

The world's first headphones* that utilize the third auditory pathway, cartilage conduction. The unique vibration structure utilizes a "cartilage conduction pathway" to efficiently transmit sound to the eardrums without blocking the ear canal, ensuring high sound quality even when "listening while listening. In addition, because they are not placed in the ear canal, they do not steam in the ear and are hygienic. *Consumer equipment, researched by CCH Sound, Inc. in September 2022. This product uses a patent granted by CCH Sound Inc. This product is not intended to improve the hearing of people with hearing loss (hearing aids).

Uniquely developed vibration driver that achieves high sound quality through cartilage conduction】High quality music playback and calls can be realized by simply placing the earbuds on the cartilage part called the auricle without blocking the ear canal. The proprietary A.P.S.S* vibration driver (PAT.P) prevents sound quality degradation caused by external vibrations and suppresses unpleasant vibrations during bass playback, allowing users to experience a wide-range sound that will change the concept of "listening while listening. Acoustic Pure Sound Stabilizer. Acoustic Pure Sound Stabilizer is our proprietary mechanism that reduces noise caused by external vibrations and reproduces the original sound faithfully, even with cartilage conduction headphones.

When enjoying music, movies, games, or social networking while commuting to and from work, you can enjoy your content while listening to the sounds and announcements around you because the headphones do not block your ear canals. Also, at home, you will not miss any sudden chime or electronic noise from the washing machine. The system can also respond to questions from family members, allowing you to communicate with them at any time.

AI Noise Reduction (AIVC) developed by intelliGo】When you are in an online conference or on a call, the high-performance AI Noise Reduction (AIVC) technology by intelliGo extracts only the speaker's voice and delivers only that voice clearly to the other party. The AIVC technology cuts out unnecessary noise other than the speaker's voice, ensuring comfortable communication.

The ear hanger and back band are made of flexible and lightweight titanium. The ear hanger and back band are made of flexible and lightweight titanium, which provides a light and natural fit that does not cause fatigue even when worn for long periods of time.

Drip-proof design to protect the headphones from rain and splashes】Equivalent to JIS protection rating IPX4*. The headphones can be protected from sudden rain or splashes of water during walks, sports, camping, and other outdoor activities. They are also safe to use when doing household chores around water. *IPX4 equivalent means that there will be no harmful effects even if the headphones are exposed to water splashes from any direction. Cannot be used in hot and humid places such as baths. Not completely waterproof.
