xMEMS Labs unveiled Sycamore-W, an ultra-thin micro speaker designed for wrist-worn wearables, promising improved audio quality and reduced thickness.
The Sycamore-W could enable slimmer smartwatch designs by reducing speaker package space, potentially freeing up internal space for additional features like biometric sensors or larger batteries.
The new micro-speaker weighs 150mg, significantly lighter than traditional coil speakers, enhancing comfort for all-day wear.
Production of Sycamore-W is scheduled to begin in Q2 2026, aligning with Apple's design philosophy of creating thinner yet high-performance devices for future wearable technology.
