The industry transformation concerning the fundamental standards of user experience quietly began at the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, which opened on January 6. Leading global companies such as SGS, Goertek, ULTRA METRIC, Lenovo, iFLYTEK, Guangfan Technology, and Huawei Terminal jointly released the "White Paper on the Evaluation of Wearing Comfort for Smart Wearable Products." This marked the first time a scientific and quantifiable evaluation system was established for the long-standing subjective concept of "wearing comfort," signifying that the smart wearable industry has officially entered a new stage of experience standardization.
For a long time, devices such as smartwatches, AR/VR glasses, and wireless earphones have continuously broken through in functionality, but "uncomfortable to wear" has remained one of the core pain points that lead users to abandon them. Due to the lack of a unified testing standard, manufacturers often rely on experience for design, while consumers find it difficult to make comparisons. The release of this white paper fills this critical gap, constructing an evaluation framework from multiple dimensions including pressure distribution, ear canal fit, weight balance, skin-friendly materials, and long-term wearing fatigue, providing authoritative basis for product development and quality certification.
As one of the first implementers of this standard, iFLYTEK's AI translation earphones successfully passed SGS's entire rigorous testing with outstanding ergonomic design and material craftsmanship, and were awarded the "SGS Premium Performance Mark for Earphone Wearing Comfort" — the highest level of certification granted by SGS in this field, representing that its comfort performance has reached industry benchmark levels.
This collaboration not only demonstrates iFLYTEK's deep focus on user experience, but also extends its technological advantages from voice recognition and real-time translation to the fields of industrial design and human factors engineering, providing strong quality endorsement for its global strategy. In the future, iFLYTEK stated that it will continue to work closely with ecological partners such as SGS to drive smart wearable products to evolve from "usable" and "easy to use" to "willing to wear" and "long-term comfortable to wear," truly integrating cutting-edge AI technology into daily life in an imperceptible and comfortable way.
