Knowles Partners with Ole Wolff to Offer Compact Hybrid Driver for TWS Earphones

Knowles Corporation and Ole Wolff, the Danish manufacturer of high quality speakers, receivers, and provider of acoustic system integration, announced the result of their cooperation to improve the comfort and performance of True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earphones with high-definition audio and active noise cancellation (ANC). The two companies have announced an innovative dynamic driver matched to a new balanced armature tweeter that meets the premium sound, high-performance ANC, and hearing personalization in a smaller size.

If the market research is accurate and consumers' main priority is audio quality, then it makes sense to offer the best possible options as a way to differentiate new true wireless earbud designs. That was now attempted by Edifier, a company with access to the best available technologies and manufacturing resources. The NeoBuds Pro ANC earbuds are a new Hi-Res Audio certified TWS design, now available to pre-order on IndieGoGo.
