Wave Harmonics earphones that clip on oddly

Juniper Foo | Sep 26, 2008

Barely had we blogged about Thanko's odd earring-style earphones when this landed in our inbox. Sparcstone Sciences, an Asia Pacific-focused tech development and marketing company with an office in Singapore, has thrown down the gauntlet. It claims it is launching "a completely new earphone technology in Asia Pacific" which "no other brand has it".

Named the Zacoutics Exophone (EXO-100), this is said to be backed by five years of research on something called Wave Harmonics, and is manufactured in Korea (what, no China?). The audiophones apparently work compatibly with iPods, PSPs, Nintendo DSes, and other portable MP3 and media devices.

Perhaps more interesting is the way they're worn. A sort of topsy-turvy earring, with the stud at the back of the ear lobe, which might be delivering sound through bone conduction. Not much more information on this for now, including pricing or launch dates. We'll update when we get ahold of the company.
