The conceptual NOVO TWS earphones are a different approach to true wireless headphone design that will enable them to actually be repaired instead of simply replaced like many of the existing models on the market. The headphones hide the various components including the speaker drivers, system on a chip (SoC) and microphones in the main body of the units, while the battery module is positioned on the exterior. This allows the batteries to be replaced easily when they have reached end of life around the 12 to 18 month point, while the other components that will last four to five years stay enclosed within.
The conceptual NOVO TWS earphones are the design work of Batu Sozen and imagine a more consumer-focused tech product that can be used for many years thanks to its replaceable design to thus make it a more eco-friendly solution.
