Flare Audio launched a new IndieGogo campaign for its 'Flare Ears' high-quality audiophile earbuds. Rather than simply boasting that these earbuds deliver a true-to-life sound quality, Flare Audio explains its appeal through 'Mirror Image Sound.' According to Flare Audio's research, sound played through speakers, headphones, and other audio devices is often distorted by each human's unique eardrum shape. This results in a listening experience that is never truly 1:1 accurate to the audio source.
The company took this research and developed the Flare Ears. These earbuds are uniquely shaped to deliver audio in a way that the audio file refracts through the inner ear without being distorted by the shape of the ear. This is what Flare Audio calls Mirror Image Sound, as the audio track will be heard in a direct mirror image to the way it is produced. The company is marketing this as a never-before-seen or never-before-achieved experience, with patents and research documents to support its claims available on the IndieGogo page.
