DESIGN NAME: Unity
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Wireless Lossless Headphones
INSPIRATION: People enjoy music in wireless headphones around the world daily, but the sound quality has been secretly compromised by compression algorithms. We believe that people need to know this and have a choice.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Unity is the first wireless headphone that can stream lossless, high-resolution audio up to 192kHz/24-bit over Wifi, and has a dual-core processor, memory, storage, and a 9-axis IMU for accurate head-tracking motion detection for codec agnostic decoding of spatial and immersive audio. Unity has its own audio software platform called earOS with regular over-the-air updates that bring exciting new features.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: -
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: -

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The ear cup assembly is comprised of a CNC machined single block of architectural grade 6063 aluminum and a carbon fiber-infused nylon chassis to reduce vibration and reduce outside noise by -13dB. The headband is made of durable and flexible Grilamid. Memory foam ear pads mold seamlessly to the shape of your head and feature cooling gel and velvety-soft microfiber to cocoon your ears.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 224mm x 188mm x 93mm
