Story

Introducing the next wave of bone conduction headphones – brought to you by a team that believes safe, open-ear listening should still come with an amazing audio experience!  

Bone conduction technology (BCT) works by sending sound vibrations to your inner ear through bone rather than the air in your ear canal. This means you can listen to your calls and music while leaving your ears open to hear your surroundings. 

We want you to hear it all – whether you’re exercising outdoors, working from the local coffee shop, a multi-tasking parent at home or hard-of-hearing, our bone conduction headphones provide comfort and safety without sacrificing on audio quality.

 

 

Kaibo Flex uses patented audio technology to deliver crystal-clear mid and high-pitch frequencies alongside solid bass. You can hear every detail accurately. 

We’ve also combined our patented bone conduction transducers with the right materials and mechanical design to minimize any vibrations you might feel. Now you can enjoy your music and calls at any volume without any uncomfortable sensations or stress to your ears. 

Our innovative cladding technique eliminates almost all sound leakage, keeping your music and calls private.

Using Kaibo Flex is easy and intuitive. Control calls, music, volume, and voice assistants, all with a simple touch.

 Built-in optical sensors give you a smooth and intuitive listening experience. Kaibo Flex pauses your audio automatically when you take your headphones off and resume play as soon as you put them back on – perfectly aligning your listening experience with your movement.

 

Kaibo Flex is equipped with dual noise-canceling microphones so that you can make crystal-clear calls. The environmental noise cancellation (ENC) filters out any surrounding noise whether you’re out running errands, commuting, or at home.

Kaibo Flex has a built-in battery with up to 8 hours of listening time on a single charge and standby time for up to an entire week. The charging dock adds another 32 hours of battery life, giving you a total of up to 40 hours when you’re on the go.

Kaibo Flex also features two convenient quick-charge options that we know you’ll love: a 5-minute quick charge gives you a whole hour of battery life while a 45-minute charge gives you another 6 hours.

 

Kaibo Flex headphones are made for the long run.

  • A smooth silicone texture and light weight means you can wear them all day without discomfort.
  • The titanium alloy frame maintains durability and never loses shape.
  • Its IP55 rating helps to weather dust and moisture, making it resilient enough to withstand a little rain, sweat and other gritty conditions.

 

We are a team with over 30 years of headphone engineering experience and love that bone conduction technology is becoming a more popular option for everyday headphones. Our professionals have designed audio processors for brands like Bose and Sennheiser, and we build our bone conduction technology upon the same principles of delivering fuller-range premium sound quality. We spent the last two years researching the materials and mechanical design in order to deliver unparalleled privacy, comfort and sound in a BCT headphone. 

Our goal was to design Kaibo Flex for everyday use, so we also focused our attention on fit, battery life and portability. A lot of prototyping and testing was conducted to  create the portable charging dock that provides up to 40 total hours of use before ever needing to plug in – a first for BCT headphones!

We are truly excited to introduce you to Kaibo Flex. They are designed to be as easy to use as any other true wireless stereo (TWS) headphones while enjoying all the advantages that bone conduction has to offer. We are confident that you will get the best of both worlds.

We were at CES 2022  

 Kaibo Audio was born out of a simple desire to combine a passion for music and travel while staying present to the world and the moments around us. Chia-Po, more affectionately known as CP, is the founder of Kaibo Audio. He has over 30 years of entrepreneurial experience in the consumer and high tech space and was most recently the COO of a leading sound component manufacturer in China that engineers world-class bone conduction transducers.

It was this introduction to BCT that led CP to fall in love with the idea that you could safely listen to the audio while not missing out on life as it happens around you. And while we’re not the first to create open-ear headphones, bringing better and more accessible BCT headphones to the market quickly became a passion that aligns perfectly with CP’s love of music and zest for life. In fact, CP’s favorite thing about using Kaibo’s BCT headphones is that he can listen to music and hear himself sing at the same time!

Today, CP leads our engineering, design, and manufacturing teams across Taiwan, China and the US. His former company remains our exclusive partner in designing and supplying the patented BCT components that go into all of Kaibo Audio’s products, and he also oversees the design & manufacturing house that works on product ID and assembly. With our company’s strong roots and industry relationships, we sincerely hope Kaibo Audio becomes your trusted brand for a new wave of open-ear listening.
