Ceva, Inc. announced they have formed a strategic partnership to deliver technology innovation across boAt's next generation of lifestyle-focused consumer products, including TWS earbuds, neckbands, headphones, speakers and smartwatches. The partnership spans a broad range of Ceva's connectivity, sensing and inferencing technologies, which 'boAt Labs', the in-house research and development team, will leverage to develop high-quality products that provide the best user experience possible at accessible price points. The first boAt product under this partnership, the Nirvana Eutopia Spatial Audio headphones, feature CEVA's Bluetooth, Audio AI DSP, and its RealSpace® spatial audio software solution with precise head tracking.

These are the first spatial audio headphones in boAt's lineup to offer dynamic head tracking capabilities which further enhance the spatial audio experience. The Nirvana Eutopia headphones are expected to be available in India in the first quarter of 2024. boAt uses Bluetooth audio chipsets from different semiconductor suppliers today, several of which are based on Ceva's Bluetooth platforms and/or Audio AI DSPs.

Through this collaboration, Ceva and boAt will partner to select Bluetooth audio chipsets from Ceva licensees for boAt product lines and optimize Ceva value-add software packages for these products, including TWS earbuds, neckbands, headphones, smart speakers, and smartwatches.
