Enjoying your music is important, but maintaining your situational awareness is necessary. With MBE001, you can do both. These on-ear speakers provide you with an added sense of safety that other headphones can’t compete with.

Wear them day or night as you walk to your favorite coffee shop or to a friend’s house for dinner. Their technology helps you maintain your situational awareness as it lets you hear your surroundings. So you can enjoy your favorite beats on an evening walk without worrying about nearby people, vehicles, or other potential hazards.

These on-ear speakers let you enjoy your own personal sound field thanks to their PSZ state-of-the-art acoustic design technology.

PSZ (Personalized Sound Zone) technology is a new acoustic technology based on the principles of sound. PSZ releases sound waves to counterbalance normal phase and opposite phase sound waves against each other. The sound waves cancel each other out at a set distance, which confines your audio to within a few centimeters of your ear. So people around you won’t hear what you’re listening to.

Thanks to this technology, passersby won’t hear sound from your nwm MBE001. Go anywhere from the office to the coffee shop knowing that your music won’t disturb people around you.

This feature is extremely beneficial in the age of working from home and on the go. With the MBE001, you can avoid people overhearing what the person on the other end of your call says.

Their built-in microphone makes on-the-go chats a breeze.

Thanks to innovative PSZ technology, these on-ear speakers are unlike any other over-ear headphones, wired or wireless earbuds, or bone-conduction headphones. The nwm MBE001 ensures you clearly hear both your audio and ambient sounds around you at the same time. Because you deserve to hear it all.

This means you can listen to the birds chirping and brooks babbling on your walk without hitting pause on your favorite podcast. Follow a yoga flow in the park without losing situational awareness or even listen to your favorite song at the train station without missing announcements.

If you’re a parent, you’ll love being able to catch up on your audiobook without tuning out your children. You’ll stay aware of their needs while also getting some important time for yourself.

At nwm, we don’t believe in the idea of immersing you in audio and disconnecting you from the outside world. Using unprecedented sound technologies, these wireless on-ear speakers break away from the idea of immersive audio—they connect you with your environment instead.

While wearing these on-ear speakers, you’ll live in harmony with your surroundings. They require no buds and no bone conduction.

Incredibly, the MBE001 produces natural sound from vibrating air, working with ambient sound—rather than fighting it—as if it were background music. So you remain connected to your surroundings while still enjoying your audio.

Earbuds don’t have to go in your ears to produce great sound. MBE001 proves that by leaving your ear canals open so you hear ambient sound. Their unique design sits right on top of your ears instead of going inside them.

Thanks to this design, these on-ear speakers keep your ears completely open, letting you enjoy your headphones in a more comfortable, more hygienic, and more natural way. 

In-ear and bone-conduction headphones block or cover your ears, which may cause stress to your head. The MBE001’s open-ear design doesn’t—and they weigh only 9.5 grams per speaker. This means you won’t suffer the same sort of ear fatigue that those other headphones cause.

These on-ear speakers use advanced sound-leakage technology, and they also produce a well-balanced acoustic experience. That’s thanks in large part to the 12 mm drivers.

Positioned on top of each speaker, the drivers produce natural-sounding background-like music from the sky. They expertly allow sound quality, your surroundings, and your own voice to coexist.

All of the MBE001 technology comes together in one place: the nwm Connect App. There, you can manage your wireless on-ear speakers via your smartphone.

On the convenient user-friendly app, you can watch tutorials, manage connections, check the battery level, and adjust equalizer settings.

The nwm Connect App has a minimalist design that’s easy to navigate. It lets you view individual battery life for the left and right speakers.

In the app, you can also adjust the equalizer settings. Select from pre-created options like Clear Voice, Dynamics, and More Treble. You can enjoy the sound that best fits to your environment.

This convenient dedicated smartphone app also lets you set a maximum volume limit as well as noise reduction level. In the app, you can change other settings as needed.

The nwm Connect App is compatible with smartphones and tablets running version 10.0 or higher for Android and version 15.5 or higher for iOS. (However, not all devices are guaranteed to work with the nwm Connect App, even if your device is one of the models listed above. Please check each app store for details.)

Developed by NTT engineers—who have brought numerous acoustic technologies to the world—PSZ technology creates individualized sound zones. It lets you freely control the sounds you want to hear, the sounds you don't want to hear, and the sounds you don't want others to hear.

PSZ technology confines sounds to your ear without blocking your ear. It’s the world’s first technology that takes advantage of the fact that normal phase and opposite phase sound waves cancel each other out at certain distances.

It localizes sound through a single speaker that has holes on the sides of the enclosure. This design makes sound leakage minimal as sound moves away from the ear. In fact, after undergoing tests, PSZ shows that users can listen to music at 80 dB—about the same volume as a train—and the sound leaking out is as quiet as a library to people 15 cm away.

In effect, PSZ creates a sound field near your ear thanks to its state-of-the-art acoustic signal processing technology. PSZ creates a natural and completely new listening style, letting you enjoy your audio and surroundings at the same time.
