Bone conduction is a natural part of the hearing process—sound travels through your eardrums and bones simultaneously. We’ve taken the concept to the next level through a suite of proprietary audio technologies and design patents.

1. Our patented transducers create mini vibrations that travel through your cheekbones.

2. The sound bypasses your eardrums, traveling directly to your inner ears (cochlea).

The result: A reinvented listening experience, through an open ear design. Premium audio, situational awareness and extreme comfort—second to none.
