On March 31, 2025, NetEase Youdao officially launched its new AI hardware product, the Youdao OpenEar open-ear headphones, at the Zhongguancun Hard Tech Carnival in Beijing. These headphones, with their unique open-ear design, high-quality sound at an affordable price, and convenient smart interaction features, have attracted significant attention from tech enthusiasts and the media.
The core highlights of the Youdao OpenEar open-ear headphones are their imperceptible wearing experience, high-fidelity sound quality, and smart interaction features. The headphones utilize an open-ear hook design, combined with lightweight materials and ergonomic principles, achieving comfortable wear for extended periods – truly feeling like you're wearing nothing. This design is suitable for various scenarios, including sports, commuting, and studying, meeting users' needs throughout their day.
In terms of sound quality, Youdao OpenEar is equipped with DNS3.0 AI noise reduction technology, low-frequency compensation algorithms, and a composite diaphragm speaker, capable of reproducing stereo high-fidelity sound, providing users with an immersive listening experience with panoramic sound effects. Despite its affordable price, the headphones deliver excellent sound quality, showcasing their high cost-performance ratio.
Smart interaction is another key feature of Youdao OpenEar. The headphones support one-handed control of playback status and multi-device switching, allowing users to easily manage audio playback. Furthermore, the headphones provide one-touch access to the Youdao smart ecosystem. Users can simply long-press the headphones to activate the AI assistant, "Little P Teacher," for on-demand in-depth Q&A interaction.
