Earlier today (23rd August 2023), Meizu unveiled a unique new audio product. But these aren’t your typical pair of truly wireless earbuds or headphones, rather, these use bone conduction for audio output. The device is dubbed the Meizu Lifeme W51 Bone Conduction headphones, which have just been launched in China.

Meizu Lifeme W51 Bone Conduction Sports Headphones Specs

The Meizu Lifeme W51 is a wireless Bone Conduction Sports headphone. It is built using soft and skin-friendly silicon along with titanium alloy metal. The company’s latest headphones feature bone conduction and air conduction fusion technology. This enables it to offer two ways of use, which include open or immersive. Meizu’s W51 also features built-in 16mm bone conduction drivers.

Furthermore, the new wireless headphones can last for up to 11 hours on a single full charge. Powering up the device for just 10 minutes will offer up to 2 hours of audio playback. Other notable features include Bluetooth 5.3, dual device connection, 50ms low latency mode, IPX5 waterproof rating, call noise reduction, and more.

The wireless headphones are currently listed for a price tag of 399 Yuan (roughly 56 US Dollars). Meizu’s Lifeme W51 Bone Conduction Sports headphones are likely geared toward fitness enthusiasts like runners. The open audio output would help them be more aware of their surroundings. These headphones are available for purchase on JD.com, a popular Chinese e-commerce platform.

Apple’s true wireless earphones, dubbed as AirPods, remains one of the best-selling products from the company. The company improved the offering with the launch of AirPods Pro by introducing an active noise cancellation feature.

Now, a new patent granted to Apple (via AppleInsider) suggests that the company could be working on a new version of AirPods with bone conduction audio. The US-based tech giant has proposed a system that combines bone conduction with normal air-based sound transmission.

For those who are unaware, bone conduction includes transmitting sound to the inner ear through the bone of the skull. This allows users to hear audio content without blocking the ear canal or using earpieces.

However, there are some drawbacks to this technology, mainly the lack of its ability to work at high frequency. Human hearing ranges from 20Hz to 20,000Hz but bone conduction is only effective at sub-4,000Hz levels and then the audio quality starts deteriorating. Also, for the technology to work, it required contact with the head but causes a tactile tickling sensation, which could be annoying for some users.

Apple patent has a workaround for the high-frequency audio. It will deliver mid- and low-frequency signals using a compressor through bone conduction while the high-frequency signals will be transmitted through air, enabling the best of both worlds.

The patent from Apple titled “Multipath audio stimulation using audio compressors” was originally filed in May 2018. Do note that Apple files the number of patents every year and not all of them materialize into commercial products.

Ming-Chi Kuo, a well-known Apple analyst, claims that the next-generation AirPods, likely to be named AirPods 3 with bone conduction technology, will have the same design as the AirPods Pro and could get launched ahead of next year’s WWDC.

The new focus for phone manufacturers is on making phones with little or no bezels or displays that nearly covers the entirety of the front. We have seen this trend start to pick up following the announcement of the Xiaomi Mi MIX. LG adopted something similar for the LG G6 and Samsung’s Galaxy S8 and S8+ are on the train too. Latest report coming in says Meizu is cooking something up as well.

The news comes from the official Meizu forum where it was reported that the Chinese manufacturer has applied for a patent for a new display. An excerpt from the patent filing shows a dis-assembled phone similar in design to that of the Galaxy S8 with the display stretching from top to bottom. A rough translation of the text mentions that the phone will use bone conduction technology for the speakers just like the Mi MIX that’s why there are is no cut-out for the earpiece. There is also no mBack button/fingerprint scanner, neither does the rear case show a cut-out for a fingerprint module. This points at a likelihood of it using on-screen buttons and sporting a biometric scanner embedded underneath the display.

Yesterday, we reported that the company seems to be working on an optical fingerprint scanner that will sit right under the screen. The hint was based on a screenshot of VP Li Nan forwarding an article on Apple’s optical fingerprint technology to a group of friends.

The image shows that the patent was filed as far back as August 2016. But we won’t be quick to assume that we might see a Meizu phone with the technology this year.

When Malata started targetting the Chinese market again, they announced their intention to make their product line more diverse and competitive. With so many cellphones on the market, making a unique cellphone is no easy task. Recently, however, Malata released the world’s first cellphone to have a speaker screen—the Malata X6. In this short review, we take a look at this interesting little device.

The Malata X6 uses a pioneering speaker screen technology that only Malata possesses. In principle, this technology involves inserting a piezoelectric actuator under the display screen. This technology lets the screen vibrate and release sound. By integrating the function of a phone receiver with an IPS display screen, there is no longer any need of the traditional phone receiver with holes. When you make a phone call, you can hear high-quality sound by putting your ear near any corner of the screen. This is very convenient as you no longer have to look for the speakers when you want to listen better.

Because there are no holes above the screen, no water or dust can come from the front. There are times when you are going get water, tea, or any other liquid spilled over your phone. The Malata X6’s design lessens the probability of any liquid or dust going inside.

The Malata X6 uses the Android 4.4 OS and sports a 5.0-inch IPS display screen.

The volume switch and lock screen button are located on the right side. There is 3.5 earphone jack on the top. At the bottom, there is a Micro USB port and microphone.

It looks like Malata is succeeding in their mission to create a unique device. From its functions to its appearance, it seems to show this. It would not be a bad choice for a holiday gift. That’s for sure.
