> Earin was the first company to launch true wireless ear buds back in 2015. So momentous was its Kickstarterbacked release of the M-1 buds, that they’ve been added to the permanent collection of the Nationalmuseum, Sweden’s national museum of art and design. It would be fair to say that Earin’s presence on the world stage has since been overshadowed by, well, everyone else, but the smarts of the company’s thirdgeneration A-3 buds are set to change that. Earin says these are the smallest buds around, with an open design that moves a lot of air. Their size means there’s no distinction between left and right, and Earin’s patent means you can just pop them in and they’ll work out which ear is which. Genius engineering, then, and all the higher-end specs you might expect.
