Creative Is Latest Manufacturer to Announce TWS Earbuds Using xMEMS Drivers

Creative Technology is the latest manufacturer to announce a strategic partnership with xMEMS Labs, confirming that it will be incorporating xMEMS' micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) solid-state speaker technology into Creative's True Wireless Stereo (TWS) products. With superior audio reproduction and consistency referenced as the main reasons for adoption, Creative says the integration of xMEMS's compact MEMS drivers will enable lighter, sleeker, and more ergonomic TWS earbuds that provide better wearability for users on the move.

xMEMS and Bujeon Launch 2-Way Hybrid MEMS Driver Solution for Hi-Res TWS Earbuds

xMEMS Labs and Bujeon Electronics have partnered to create a family of 2-way speaker modules to accelerate design of next generation high-resolution and lossless audio-capable TWS earbuds. The solution integrates a high-performance 9mm dynamic driver custom-designed by Bujeon with an xMEMS' Cowell tweeter, the world’s smallest monolithic MEMS microspeaker at just 22mm. The reference design combines an xMEMS Aptos MEMS speaker amplifier to create a "drop-in" solution compatible with today’s leading TWS system-on-chips.

xMEMS Announces World's First Solid-State MEMS DynamicVent, Enabling Active Ambient Control for Next-Generation TWS and Hearing Aids

Part of xMEMS Labs announcements at CES 2023, the innovative MEMS speaker company introduced Skyline, the world’s first discrete solid-state MEMS DynamicVent, a specific design with a valve that opens or closes by sensor fusion input from the earbud DSP and enables the benefits of both an open-fit (spatially aware) and closed-fit (occluded) earbud design. This enables smart TWS earbuds and hearing aids that create best-of-both-worlds user experiences in the same product.

xMEMS Samples Ultra-Small Full-Range Microspeaker

Back in January 2015, I gave a talk about MEMS loudspeakers, and I have regularly written about MEMS speaker progress. A half decade later, it seems we are finally now moving beyond the industry's joke that MEMS’ development progress can be measured in dog years: it takes 7 human years for each year of MEMS’ progress! The big news is xMEMS Labs, a company founded just in January 2018, has announced it is now in mass production of its Montara, a monolithic MEMS “µspeaker” with a slim 1mm profile, and announced Cowell, the world’s smallest monolithic MEMS µSpeaker, at just 1.15mm high and 3.2mm wide.

xMEMS Announces Cowell Microspeaker for TWS and Hearing Aid Applications

xMEMS Labs today introduced Cowell, the world’s smallest monolithic MEMS µspeaker, targeting the replacement of balanced armature drivers in true wireless earbuds and hearing aid designs. At just 22mm3, 56 milligrams, and with a 3.2mm diameter side-firing package, Cowell delivers an impressive 110dB SPL at 1kHz. Cowell is the first speaker to use xMEMS’ 2nd generation M2 speaker cell architecture offering improved SPL/mm2 enabling increased loudness in smaller form factors.
