Mimi Hearing Technologies announces collaboration with London-based consumer electronics company Nothing.
Berlin, Germany – March 22 2023 – Mimi and Nothing are putting sound at the centre of the user experience with the launch of the brand new Ear (2) TWS earbuds featuring Mimi Sound Personalization. Nothing unveiled the all-new earbuds in a live-streamed event held on Wednesday, March 22 2023.
Nothing, a London-based tech company, is backed by GV (formerly Google Ventures), EQT Ventures and C Ventures, and others. Nothing’s mission is to remove barriers between people and technology. To do this, the audio specialists craft intuitive, flawlessly connected products that improve the lives of their users without getting in the way. The company aims to create products driven by pure artistry, passion and trust.
“Better sound. Better clarity. Just better.”
Nothing and Mimi share the belief that accessible and beautifully crafted technology shouldn’t be complicated. In following this belief, the new partnership between Mimi and Nothing enables the combination of immersive Sound Personalization and high-end earbuds.
“The partnership with Nothing Headphones is a great opportunity to further promote and accelerate Mimi’s personalization technology. With the release of the new Ear (2), we are delighted to have another great product in the market that merges Mimi Sound Personalization with high quality earbuds, and that enables users to enjoy fully customizable sound wherever they are,” says Philipp Skribanowitz, CEO, Mimi.
Here’s how the enhanced Nothing x Mimi sound experience works:
- Audio test: Nothing customers take a short hearing test within the Nothing X app to create a unique sound profile. This takes into account individual audio sensitivities shaped by genetics, age, lifestyle and environmental factors.
- Custom-tuned headphones: Customers experience enhanced audio adapted to their unique hearing ability. Mimi restores missing details, music is richer, and you can hear every word without needing to turn the volume up.
Features of the new Ear (2):
- Ultra light at just 4.5 g
- Powerful 11.6 mm custom driver
- 24bit Hi-Res Audio Certified
- Next-level Active Noise Cancellation
- Personal Sound Profile Powered by Mimi
