xMEMS Unveils Sycamore-W, the Thinnest Speaker for Smartwatches

The 1 mm-thin, solid-state micro-speaker enhances smartwatch design with more internal space and robust audio performance.

The Sycamore-W micro-speaker design for smartwatches should enable "dramatically slimmer, sleeker form factors while delivering high-quality, full-range sound"
The new speaker is incredibly thin, taking up less space in devices like smartwatches.

Overview

  • xMEMS has launched the Sycamore-W, a 1 mm-thin, 150 mg solid-state speaker designed specifically for wrist-worn wearables.
  • The Sycamore-W reduces speaker thickness by 70%, enabling smartwatch manufacturers to allocate more space for batteries and sensors.
  • The speaker uses thin-film piezo actuators and a silicon membrane to deliver full-range audio performance in a compact form factor.
  • Its durable design is water, dust, and shock-resistant, meeting IP58 standards and withstanding up to 10,000 g shocks.
  • Samples of the Sycamore-W are now available to early access manufacturers, with volume production planned for Q2 2026.
