Headphone makers are always looking for ways to improve sound, but let’s be honest—headphone design hasn’t changed much. Over-ears, in-ears, bone conduction… It’s all been done. But then, along comes the Movengine AirCore OWH, flipping the script with a design that looks more like a pair of levitating donuts than traditional headphones.
OWH stands for Open-ear Wireless Hybrid, and it’s exactly what it sounds like: open-ear audio that’s also fully wireless. Instead of sealing your ears off from the world, it lets sound travel naturally, creating a spacious, Hi-Fi-grade soundstage that makes it feel like you’re in the music rather than just listening to it. And yes, it delivers 3D spatial audio, so sound moves around you, not just straight into your ears.
Comfort? Check. The open-back design ensures breathability, preventing heat buildup during long listening sessions. It’s also lightweight at just 309g (10.9 oz), making all-day wear a breeze.
Movengine hasn’t revealed pricing yet, but the AirCore OWH is heading to Kickstarter soon. You can sign up now for a launch notification and a limited 32% discount when it goes live.
