True Wireless Headphones Market - Dynamics
Vendors of true wireless headphones have created real-time language translation capabilities that work both with and without networks. A few companies have also created mobile applications that enhance the usability of such language translating devices. In 2016, Waverly Labs launched a wearable, language-translating device with two earpieces meant for speakers. This device was akin to true wireless headphones.
Recently, Waverly has also integrated music streaming functionality into its product. Headphones designers have tested and adopted different technologies to reduce or block contextual noises to provide the user with a better and immersive listening experience. These advancements in audio technologies are noise cancellation and noise isolation technologies. The noise cancellation technology identifies unwanted ambient sounds and emits other sounds to counterbalance them. It can be effective against continuous mechanical noise; however, it is not designed to cancel other variable noises such as human talk. The noise-isolation technology, on the other hand, is basically represented by IEMs, which physically obstruct the ear canal to block incoming noises. With rising internet penetration globally, consumer electronics and household appliances are becoming more digitized, and the households are becoming smarter (smart homes).
The world has been witnessing a rising penetration of IoT (Internet of Things) in the consumer durable industry, and various brands are exploring ways of using IoT to streamline manufacturing processes and SPM (supply chain management) as well as to deliver more personalized customer experience.
