In recent years, the terms TWS and OWS have appeared more and more frequently in the field of audio market. Last week we learned about what OWS is. Today let's have a look at the difference between OWS and TWS.
The differences between TWS and OWS
Both TWS and OWS are wireless earphones, but their design and focuses are slightly different.
TWS means true wireless stereo. It is an innovative form of headphones. Compared with traditional wired headphones, the biggest advantage of TWS is its "true" wireless design. Users no longer need to worry about the constraints of wires and can freely enjoy music, movies and other entertainment content within a certain range, which brings great benefits and convenience. TWS earphones often adopt an in-ear or semi-in-ear structure, which has problems with ear hygiene, and long-term wearing can easily cause discomfort such as pressure differences in the ear canal.
OWS, the full name is "Open Wearable Stereo", which can also be regarded as another innovative form of headphones after TWS. The biggest difference between it and TWS is the feature of "openness". The design concept of OWS focuses on the user's health experience. Especially in the current context where health concepts are receiving more and more attention. "Not touching the ears" has become the biggest selling points of OWS. OWS uses air conduction to transmit the acoustic vibration signal converted from electrical signals directly to the auditory nerve through the temporal bone through traditional air conduction transmission media such as the external eardrum, tympanic membrane, and tympanum. This open headphone design allows users to hear the surrounding environmental sounds while enjoying music, which improves safety.
Choose TWS or OWS?
TWS mainly pursues wireless convenience and sound quality performance, while OWS pays more attention to users' health experience and safety. This also reflects the continuous pursuit and innovation of user experience in the field of audio equipment. But in fact, both TWS and OWS can implement advanced audio coding and decoding technology and provide good sound quality. Among products in the same price range, the two types of headphones are usually almost the same. Whether you have high requirements for sound quality or value portability and comfort more, TWS and OWS are good choices for wearing wireless headphones during outdoor sports. If you value comfort more, then OWS will be a better match. If you are more concerned about sound leakage, TWS may be your true love.
Glad to share with you that Marscurve is going to release another new OWS earphones in the next week. Let’s looking forward to it.
