NTT Sonority has rethought the personal audio experience with the nwm ONE Open-Ear Headphones, a sleek pair of over-ear cans that deliberately let the outside world in. Rejecting the total isolation of active noise cancellation, these minimal, lightweight frames hover just over your ear canals, firing sound inward while keeping you completely aware of your surroundings.
The headphones utilize a distinct, open-ring aesthetic that cuts down on bulk, weighing in at a mere 185 grams for all-day comfort. Dual two-way coaxial drivers—combining a 35mm woofer with a 12mm tweeter—deliver a crisp, separation-heavy soundstage that feels less like wearing headphones and more like sitting in a private acoustic room.
To keep your playlists private, proprietary Personalized Sound Zone (PSZ) technology uses phase-cancellation to trap audio next to your ears, drastically minimizing sound leakage to those sitting nearby.
• Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.3 with multipoint pairing and Auracast capability.
• Battery Life: 20 hours of playback on a single charge; fully replenished in 90 minutes via USB-C.
• Call Quality: Magic Focus Voice processing utilizes beamforming mics to isolate your voice from ambient office hustle or street traffic.
The nwm ONE offers a compelling alternative for creators, cyclists, and desk workers who demand premium audio without sacrificing environmental awareness.
