About us

Officially, the story of Auricle dates back to November of 2018. However, in reality, it already began when Pedro, the founder, was still a young acoustics engineer. Growing up with a partial hearing loss yet being a huge music lover and an avid headphones user, Pedro thought that there are simply not enough headphones out there that would look and sound good while also fitting users’ different needs, such as situational awareness. He then gathered a small team of five other audio enthusiasts to start working on a novel, design- and health- conscious personal audio electronics device that promotes awareness, communication, hearing, and fun in everyday life situations. // OUR MISSION // We want to challenge the assumption that personal audio technology has to take over your hearing and cover your ears in order to be of high quality. Our mission is to provide a great sound experience to users while remaining completely safe, present, and aware of their surroundings. // WE USE CARTILAGE CONDUCTION TECHNOLOGY // Despite bone conduction being known for its poor sound quality and poor physical fitting, after thousands of hours testing, measurements, and usability investigations, we have learned that by combining existing technologies the right way, by using the cartilage we can achieve sound quality results comparable to in-ear headphones across most of the hearing spectrum.
