The nwm ONE headphones by NTT Sonority are setting a new standard in the world of open-ear audio, blending the traditional over-ear design with cutting-edge open-ear technology. These innovative headphones address one of the biggest challenges of open-ear models: sound leakage. Thanks to noise suppression technology, the nwm ONE ensures your music stays private, even as you stay aware of your surroundings.

Designed with the modern user in mind, the nwm ONE headphones are perfect for those who need to stay connected to the world around them—whether you’re a parent keeping an ear out for your kids or a commuter who needs to hear the traffic. These headphones deliver a balanced audio experience, powered by a 35mm driver and enhanced by Sony 360 Reality Audio support, providing immersive spatial sound for a truly engaging listening experience.

While the battery life clocks in at 20 hours, slightly below the average for over-ear headphones, the nwm ONE makes up for it with impressive features like a high-quality Bluetooth LC3 codec and a 12mm tweeter that effectively reduces sound leakage using phase-cancelling technology.

Priced at $299, the nwm ONE offers a compelling package for those looking to combine awareness with an immersive audio experience, making it a standout choice in the growing open-ear headphone market.
