The FUNOHM brand is May's original earphone brand led by Mr. Akihiko Hosaka from Sony. We have members from major audio manufacturers, and we are planning and designing products in Japan. It is said that the brand name is a combination of the meaning of "enjoying" music freely, like a bird "parrot" flapping its wings in the sky (enjoy = FUN and parrot = Ω).

In addition, Mr. Hosaka is an engineer who worked on Sony's world's first noise canceling earphones for home use and silicon earpieces used in current in-ear earphones.
