T10 Bespoke makes in-ear computers: wireless hi-fi earpieces and a metal charging case, hand-built to order and customized to you. This is who makes them, and why.
The idea
Why we built a computer for your ear
EAR Micro and Klipsch set out to make the world's smallest, smartest and lightest hi-fi listening instrument. We took Klipsch's X10 wired in-ear monitor, first launched in 2008, and put a micro-computer on the side of its audio module. We call the result a comput-ear.
It streams music in full 96/24 high resolution, with no separate player needed. It runs the Bragi OS for hearables and can run hearables apps. Computers once filled rooms, then desks, then our hands and wrists. We think the ear is next.
Where it started
Musicians, engineers and jewelers
Co-founders Bear, Patsy, Anis and Troy wanted hi-fi earphones that were not big, bulky and wired.
Bear is a lifelong musician and audiophile who has designed award-winning audio products for Denon, McIntosh Labs and Klipsch. He took his idea to Klipsch's CEO and brought the EAR Micro team to Klipsch headquarters in Indianapolis. There they showed an in-ear computing platform smaller than one cubic centimeter, and Klipsch's own audio engineers judged its wireless sound better than wired audio from a phone.
It took nearly six years of development to get from that day to the T10.
