Inside the ‘Here One Wireless Smart Earbuds’ | #teardown @Mindtribe
Here One‘ earbuds online one of my first thoughts was, “Ohhh I wonder what those look like…inside!” Fast-forward a few weeks and Yoo-Yoo Yeh from Mindtribe has a write-up examining that very curious question! I’m also still curious what is inside the docking station – I mean a USB charging circuit, yeah, but I’m curious about the layout and general engineering decisions therein (just because I’m curious like that).
One product, the Here One wireless earbuds, sets to shape the way consumers interact with their devices by incorporating “smart” noise filters – a feature the existing Apple AirPods do not offer. They also boast the nifty, new low-power Near Field Magnetic Induction (NFMI) communication protocol for synchronization between earbuds, in addition to the usual Bluetooth communication to your phone, all packed into a neat little ear-stuffable button. This is in comparison to the AirPods, which use only Bluetooth.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
