Immersive Interaction

Technology that listens, moves, and flows with you.

Intuitive guidance.

Museband R1 adapts to your pace and attention, offering intelligent voice and haptic cues, so you can focus on the experience, not the interface.

Talk to people. Or talk to AI. Seamlessly.

Museband uses voice-level detection and smart intent recognition to know when you’re addressing it—responding only to whispers or subtle cues, and staying silent when you’re social.

Seven interchangeable frames provide a modular fit for different neck sizes and user preferences. Each frame maintains structural integrity while enabling seamless attachment of core modules, ensuring comfort, stability, and adaptability for every user.

A new way to interact with AI

With Museband Interactions, a subtle whisper activates AI guidance, while normal speech is ignored. No buttons, no wake words — just intuitive, ambient control. It’s the most natural way to connect with AI, even when your hands are full or your voice is low.

AI-powered voice recognition separates whispers from conversations.

Just touch to adjust

Touch control lets you manage playback functions from the stem. Swipe up or down to adjust volume, press to play and pause music or mute and unmute yourself on calls, and press twice to end a call. You can also hold the stem to switch between listening modes.

Case and battery life

A Modular Case with Replaceable Power Units

The Modular Charging Case is built for seamless, all-day AI interaction. It holds two swappable 80mAh battery modules, so you can quickly replace a depleted cell without powering down. Whether you’re running high-performance tasks or staying in passive listening mode, it keeps you powered and uninterrupted. Compact, efficient, and designed for the rhythm of real life — it’s more than just a case.
