NXP Semiconductors announced that its Near Field Magnetic Induction (NFMI) technology, along with its ARM Cortex-M4F based Kinetis microcontroller, enables a new generation of smart hearables. An example of this solution was demonstrated in the NXP CES booth, CP25.

BRAGI, a European-based earphone manufacturer, is the world’s first company to release smart, truly wireless earphones, based on NXP’s NFMI transceiver technology and its Kinetis K24 microcontroller. BRAGI’s DASH – a completely wireless hearable – offers consumers a cord-free experience with freedom of movement, maximum comfort and high quality sound. The DASH combines three essential features into one product: a stand-alone music player, a live sports assistant and a smartphone companion.

“One of the major hurdles in developing the DASH has been the ability to deliver reliable streaming of audio signals from ear to ear. Desperate of trying to accomplish this with 2.4GHz RF, we were relieved to come across NXP’s NFMI transceiver technology which has been used for almost a decade to enable ear to ear communication in hearing instruments,” said Nikolaj Hviid, CEO at BRAGI.
