Globotok M1

Zeta Dynamics pitches the Globotok M1 at city dwellers who want their own audio while staying aware of what is happening around them: on the commute, in conversation with colleagues at the office, or out on a run. Rather than plugging the ear canal, the earphones sit open, and the maker says this lets ambient sound through while still delivering high-quality playback.

Open-ear design

According to the maker, the M1 pairs a 16.2mm dynamic driver with an open structure intended to avoid the sense of pressure on the ear during long sessions. A specially designed acoustic duct, credited to acoustic engineering specialists, is said to minimise bass leakage while letting environmental sound in naturally.

For calls, the M1 uses ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation), which the maker says can remove up to 75dB of noise, aimed at keeping voice clear enough for work calls.

Key specifications (per the maker)

• 16.2mm dynamic driver
• ENC for calls, up to 75dB noise removal
• Bluetooth 5.4, up to 12m range
• Simultaneous connection to two devices
• 60ms audio latency
• Touch controls for volume, track skipping and answering calls
• Up to 6 hours of continuous playback at 70% volume; 110 hours standby
• Magnetic charging, full charge in 1.5 hours; 15 minutes of charging for 1 hour of playback
• IPX4 water resistance

Dual-device connection is meant to make switching between a smartphone and a laptop straightforward, and the maker positions the 60ms latency as suited to video and gaming.

What Zeta Dynamics plans next

The company describes the M1 as part of a push toward an always-wearable audio category. Its roadmap, as described, includes deeper voice assistant integration, a multilingual voice command system aimed at multinational teams, and a new driver design in development that seeks to improve low-frequency performance while limiting sound leakage. These are stated plans, not shipping features.
