Hybrid ANC (active noise cancellation) technology-based headphones are also enjoying enhanced consumer appeal due to their ability to allow ambient external noises and enhance the listener’s experience.
Bone conduction technology is serving a critical role in designing headphones for runners and those with listening disabilities. Headphones equipped with focused audio technology are further expected to witness mass adoption, thereby driving the market growth.
Microelectromechanical system speakers are revolutionising headphone manufacturing in North America. This is because they have lesser mass, more power efficiency, and great production yields, which positions them ahead of other headphone speakers. They also have active noise cancellation features, long battery life, and excellent sound quality, while are ideal for supporting spatial audio content.
An increasing number of partnerships and mergers between hearing aid companies and headphone manufacturers are expected to drive innovations in earbud designs and aid people facing hearing difficulties.
