There was a lot of cool tech unveiled at CES 2024 (just take a look at our roundup of the 20 best gadgets of CES 2024 for a full rundown of the award winning TVs, projectors, speakers, headphones and more), and among innovation reveals at the show there was a Californian semiconductor company called xMEMS hosting demos for its solid-state speaker driver tech. This next-gen audio tech promises a wider sound range and better detail from smaller and lighter units than the traditional dynamic drivers used in the vast majority of headphones and earbuds today.
I’ve been reporting on this new tech for a few months now – even going as far to boldly predict that they will be the headphone tech you won’t stop hearing about in 2024 – so I was eager to seek them out to not just back up my prediction (although it was bit of that, otherwise I wouldn’t be good at my job) but to hear the new Cypress prototype that was announced in November last year.
