Recently, open-ear earphones, which do not block the ears, have been gaining momentum. The lack of closure and the ability to listen to music alone, while still being able to hear the sounds around you, seems to be spreading little by little throughout the world.
Among them, "nwm" by NTT Sonority, an NTT Group company, is one of the most notable brands, partly due to its technological capabilities. Three new products were presented to deliver a better sound experience to many people.
nwm DOTS Open price (estimated market price ¥24,200)
First is the multi-use model "nwm DOTS". The iconic two-tone circle design features the unique "PSZ (Personalized Sound Zone)" technology, which prevents sound leakage even though it is an open ear, and the patented "Magic Focus Voice" technology, which cuts out ambient sound and delivers voices well, making it ideal for anytime, anywhere. It is a specification that can be used anytime, anywhere.
The newly developed driver has greatly improved sound pressure and sound quality, yet it has also succeeded in reducing the weight by about 12%, which makes it more comfortable to wear. The silicone hook and three sizes of tail tips seem to have been made to reduce the burden even after long hours of use.
nwm WIRED Open price (estimated market price: ¥4,950)
The "nwm WIRED" is, as the name suggests, a type with a cable. It is designed to be affordable and usable by anyone. Even so, it also succeeds in adopting "PSZ" technology and is 20% lighter than previous models. Ease of use is also well thought out.
nwm GO Scheduled to launch in spring 2025
Next spring, an activity model called "Nwm Cockay Cassette (nwm GO)" will also be released. It is a convenient model with a neck-suspended design and, like "nwm dots," it uses "PSZ" technology and "Magic Focus Voice.
This is the perfect time to try "ear spitting," which is expected to become more popular in the future. It would also make a great Christmas present or gift.
