I tried out this audio personalization engine, and now I don't think I can live without it

Everyone's ears are, in some way, completely different. They're differently shaped, their ear canals are deeper or narrower or wider. As a result everyone hears their music differently to one another, and the headphones and earbuds that we use need to be able to make some form of a difference between the different hearing abilities of various users. I've been lucky enough to have a super interesting demo of an example from Audiodo — and it's very cool indeed. Unfortunately, a lot of the tech involved is currently very much in pre-release phase, so I'm not really allowed to share any screenshots of photos. What I can do, however, is tell you all about my experience. Hopefully, it'll come to more of the best headphones soon. Interestingly, I've been able to play with Audiodo's personalization before. It's been packed into some of my favorite buds — the Noble FoKus Rex5 and the FoKus Amadeus — and it's been one of my personal favorite audio personalization systems ever since. It works much the same as many of the other systems that you've seen. Press play, and the system plays a series of beeps and boops into your ears at different frequencies. Press the button when you can no longer hear them, and you're done. It takes about 5-10 minutes, and you need to be in a lovely, quiet space for optimum measurements. Once you're done, you're given the personalization for you to listen to. In my experience, both with the demo hardware and my Noble buds, the customization made effective adjustments across the frequency range to make sure that I could hear all the parts of my music that I might otherwise have been missing, while bringing down those that might cause problems. Beyond just making your music sound better, the Audiodo personalizations can also be used in other aspects of your headphones and earbuds. It can be used to make the ANC even better, effectively dealing with the frequencies that you might be more susceptible to. The biggest is for spatial audio. A personalization that would allow to hear spatial mixes is a very welcome addition to the headphone space in my mind, given that I've often found them to be less than stellar. Perhaps my ears are to blame. To take that out of the equation with a spatial audio personalization that could make these mixes better for my ears would be pretty special. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. I got a small taste of the ANC and spatial audio talents from my demo, but I also can't say too much, given that it might be down to the unreleased earbuds I was sent. But there did seem to be some difference between the ANC and the 3D audio presentation, although how much of this is some kind of sonic placebo remains to be seen. I'll admit, until I'd tried out Audiodo, I wasn't entirely sure about personalized audio. There's always been a part of me that thinks "It's not how the audio tuners intended the product to sound, so I don't really care." But when my slightly mismatched ears got their drums on the tuning, I was so impressed that my thinking shifted. Now, I could get a hearing profile that makes sure that I can get the best sound from my earbuds. I hope that it takes off, I really do — especially Audiodo, given how well it worked in my short demo.

Audiodo Brings Personal Sound To New Buds 2 Plus Earbuds From CMF By Nothing

New wireless earbuds launched today by CMF by Nothing use advanced Personalized Sound technology ... More developed by Swedish company Audiodo. Earlier today, CMF announced three new pairs of its affordable wireless earbuds. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing, the electronics brand that was established by Carl Pei back in 2023. CMF's new Buds 2 Plus model was developed with Swedish audio software developer Audiodo and brings the company's hearing personalization software within reach of many more people. Part of the expansion of the CMF lineup, the new Buds 2 Plus are available globally from today and mark a major step forward in bringing the latest personalized audio technology to a mass market. Originating from Sweden, a country known for clean design and acoustic innovation, Audiodo brings a uniquely Scandinavian approach to sound. The new CMF Buds 2 Plus are designed to deliver high-quality audio at an affordable price by combining a modern design with essential features such as Active Noise Cancelling, upgraded battery life and high-resolution wireless audio. Now, with the Audiodo Personal Sound on board, users can get a bespoke listening experience that adapts to their hearing. At the heart of the partnership with CMF is Audiodo's Personal Sound technology, an intricate web of code and algorithms. When integrated into hearables, the Personal Sound software enables users to make a personalized hearing profile and then apply a unique compensation algorithm to enhance what they are hearing. This technique lets users enhance the clarity of their audio and boost its richness based on their unique hearing profile. The Audiodo process is simple and takes just three minutes to complete. The software guides users through a brief hearing test that maps out hearing sensitivity. The process lets listeners analyze their hearing and then creates a hearing profile before applying a compensation algorithm that is fine-tuned for each of their ears. Audiodo says more consumers are looking for technology that adapts to them rather than the other way ... More around. Audiodo's Personal Sound software enables users to make a personalized hearing profile and apply a unique compensation algorithm to enhance what they are hearing. The result means everything from favorite songs to podcasts and films can be heard the way it was meant to be because it is optimized for the listener's ears. According to Audiodo, Personal Sound isn't a gimmick or a preset EQ curve, it's based on decades of research in psychoacoustics, hearing science and signal processing. The process is already in use by audiophiles, streamers and casual listeners alike. With each new integration, Audiodo says it is pushing to make hearing personalization a standard feature in wireless audio, rather than a luxury. CMF by Nothing has a bold approach to the design of its products. It has established itself remarkably quickly in the fast-moving true wireless stereo market by blending minimalism and clean aesthetics with functional performance. The launch of the new CMF Buds 2 Plus represents more than a technical integration for Audiodo. It is a signal that hearing personalization has moved from premium into the mainstream and will soon be a standard feature, just as ANC and wireless connectivity have become baseline expectations for consumers who increasingly expect devices to adapt to them. This partnership with CMF puts Personalized Sound within reach of many more people. Andrew Freshwater is head of smart products marketing at Nothing and he says: 'At CMF, we're committed to making beautifully designed, user-first technology accessible to more people. Buds 2 Plus is built for those who expect more – delivering a rich, adaptive audio experience in a product that balances form and function. Our partnership with Audiodo brings that vision to life with a sound that's not just high quality but uniquely personalized to every listener.' Audiodo's Michel Roig adds: 'We've long believed that hearing personalization should be part of every pair of wireless earphones and we've built the tools to make that possible. CMF by Nothing has created a product that opens the door to that vision – affordable, accessible, and beautifully designed. This is an important moment not just for Audiodo, but for the wider industry. It proves personal sound is ready for the mainstream.'
