Offset Audio™ Technology
A New Architecture for Personal Audio
Offset Audio™ repositions the sound source (driver) away from the ear while maintaining directional delivery.
The result is a listening experience that balances sound quality, awareness, and reduced direct acoustic exposure.
Driver placement and acoustic alignment
Prototype demostrating offset-driver concept
Key Aspects of the Architecture
Audio driver positioned ~3–5 cm from the ear
Directional alignment with the natural line of hearing
Structural design enabling stable, repeatable positioning
Open acoustic path and directional sound delivery
This approach fundamentally changes how sound reaches the ear.
How It Differs
Traditional headphones
Drivers positioned directly at the ear, increasing sound pressure and isolation
Bone conduction systems
Bypass the ear canal, with limited fidelity
Yapello
Air-conducted sound delivered from a controlled distance from the ear
Why It Matters
Why It Matters
Directional Sound Delivery
Maintains focused audio without placing the source at the ear
Reduced Sound Pressure
Distance helps reduce localized sound exposure
Environmental Awareness
Supports awareness of surroundings
