have earphones that perfectly fit the shape of your ears
Since the invention of the iPod, several companies have marketed earphones that also attempt to satisfy audiophiles. But Sonomax, a Montréal SME, has clearly stood out among the rest with its unique technology—SonoFit—, which allows people to create customizable earphones that are perfectly fitted to each unique user’s ears. The technology, featured in the company’s “sculpted eers” earphones, has be getting noticed: it won the prestigious Innovations Award at CES 2011, the most popular technology trade show in America, and was named a 2011 Popular Science Product of the Future, in addition to being one of the ten finalists in the Last Gadget Standing competition. What makes SonoFit different? Upon purchasing the product, each user can create custom moulded silicone earphones in just four minutes. A pair of pumps inflates the modular earpiece to perfectly fit each ear; the procedure creates earphones that reduce ambient sounds, while offering great comfort… and exceptional sound quality. Very impressive results for this company, founded in 1998, that first made a name for itself in the field of hearing protection equipment for industrial workers. Sonomax, led by Nick Laperle, has since gone on to hold over 50 patents for its technologies around the world.
