// 01 / THE BRIEF

A flagship app for a flagship product

Cambridge Audio were stepping into the wireless earbud market for the first time. The hardware was premium, so the companion app had to feel exactly the same in the hand.

Features like noise cancellation, Transparency Mode and finding a misplaced earbud all needed a clear, beautiful interface, working consistently across iOS and Android.
