The newest Meizu earbuds integrate Knowles balanced armature drivers and MEMS microphones with coaxial dual drivers to deliver maximum sound clarity over a wide frequency spectrum.
Meizu LIVE AI Noise Cancelling Hi-Fi Earbuds deliver high-res performance with a distinctive hardware blend. A customized Knowles BA within each earpiece packs exceptional treble performance in a footprint small enough to fit within the ear tip, producing crystal-clear treble frequencies up to 40 kHz without compromising comfort. This complements the rich, low-frequency range delivered by the earbud’s coaxial dual driver design, which adds fully symmetrical output, strong low-frequency envelopment, and minimal interference across frequency bands. Supported by an LHDC 5.0 codec, the earbuds offer listeners well-rounded sound quality across frequency ranges.
Meizu LIVE AI Noise Cancelling Hi-Fi Earbuds are designed to meet the heightened consumer demands for versatile, personalized listening. The earbuds offer AI Dynamic Tune, a first-of-its-kind capability that uses artificial intelligence to identify user listening preferences to inform tailored sound experiences. Users can choose individualized and pre-set equalizer settings available in the app. The equalization settings are among the first to feature tuning for the Knowles Preferred Listening Response Curve. The Knowles Curve aims to accommodate a preference for a heightened treble response beyond 10 kHz reported by listeners of all age groups and hearing abilities.
Emphasizing universal applicability, the earbuds also leverage a Sony Semiconductor Solutions premium chip to enable Intelligent Active Noise Reduction Mode. Featuring six Knowles SiSonic high-performance Falcon MEMS microphones and a proprietary AI noise reduction algorithm, the earbuds offer noise-free calls and versatile listening modes for travel, gaming, work, sports, studying, and more. Each earbud has a nine-hour battery life for long-term wear, with over 22 hours of charge available from the case.
