Open-ear design with 99% sound containment and on-device processing

Legato Frames feature an open-ear design with a dual-speaker system that directs sound toward the wearer and cancels escaping sound—reducing sound by 99% just a few inches away—while all audio processing occurs locally on the device with no cameras or recording.

These are individual perspectives, not a measure of consensus. Source material stays in its original language.

Original excerpt

While the frames have an open-ear design, sound isn’t broadcast to people around you. The frames feature a dual-speaker system that directs sound toward the wearer while canceling sound that escapes, reducing sound by 99% just a few inches away from the ear.
