Press release -
Sonical and Sigma Connectivity collaborate for Headphone 3.0 products
Sonical, the company driving the market transition to Headphone 3.0, and Sigma Connectivity, a leading technology design house, are proudly announcing a development partnership. The outcome of this collaboration will result in a significant acceleration in the adoption of user driven wearable audio devices.
The joint development targets consumer and professional audio products, hearing assistance devices and health monitoring wearables. These categories have long been the focus of Sigma’s extensive engineering teams with expertise in connectivity, software and hardware. Sonical’s Headphone 3.0 platform, using ear computers and CosmOS – the operating system for the ear, enables rapid product development. By making devices "appable", through downloadable plugins, developers can now create apps for any connected endpoint device.
Gary Spittle, CEO of Sonical states that “our platform unlocks a wide range of new opportunities beyond audio and Bluetooth which has created a growing community of plugin developers for CosmOS. With Sigma’s broad client base and years of product development experience we can bring Headphone 3.0 devices to the market much faster.”
The ear is an untapped resource providing a rich set of biometric data. This will provide the fuel for a new generation of AI enabled health monitoring devices. Christian Axelsson, CEO of Sigma Connectivity UK explains that “an operating system for endpoint devices enables us to meet the demands of challenging client projects across multiple business groups. This leverages our industry leading expertise in low power embedded systems.”

About Sonical:
Sonical was founded in 2020 to enable the rapidly developing Headphone 3.0 market. Sonical is building the platform that unlocks the secret potential of your ears using more effective wearable products. The team at Sonical has developed an operating system, CosmOS, designed for devices running downloadable plugins. This will enable the large community of app developers to create and deliver advanced AI based algorithms to the smart endpoint. Their mission is to empower hearables manufacturers, as well as individual users, to select which combinations of features they want to include in their new devices in the same way one currently chooses which apps you want on your laptop, tablet or smartphone. Headphone 3.0 breaks away from the built-to-be-average products we use today and delivers a differentiated experience, exactly what you need, when you need it.
