Knowles will host a series of compelling partner design demonstrations showcasing these drivers. Key highlights include:

• Complete Hybrid TWS Reference Design Kits: Knowles has partnered with well-known ODM manufacturers, including Fujikon, Grandsun, OBO, Risuntek and Siyoto, to deliver drop-in TWS reference design kits, enabling brands to bring wireless premium audio to market quickly. Visitors are invited to listen to ODM partner designs illustrating the flexibility and ease of integrating Knowles' solutions across different price points and feature sets. The demos will also include one full-range reference design developed with ODM partner XRound Audio for over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids.
• Partner Collaborations for Enhanced Audio: Attendees will engage with reference designs from Bluetooth chip partners like Qualcomm and Airoha to experience premium audio capabilities and explore hearing personalization with partners Mimi, Audiodo, and SonarWorks, showcasing tailored listening experiences.
