Codex launches pioneering neuroinclusive workplace range

Codex, Ireland’s leading B2B provider of office supplies and solutions, has launched a new range of neuroinclusive workplace products designed to help Irish employers provide a more inclusive working environment for employees.

The ‘Thrive by Codex x AsIAm’ product range consisting of 34 Autism friendly products, were developed and tested in collaboration with AsIAm, Ireland’s  Autism charity in real workplace settings and were launched on the opening day of the Autism Europe Congress in Dublin, of which Codex is a platinum sponsor.

With the launch of its new neuroinclusive product range, Codex has become a leading advocate for the acceptance of neurodivergent employees and the need for more inclusive working environments. The company published a report earlier this year – ‘Neuroinclusion in the Workplace’ – which highlighted some of the daily challenges for neurodivergent employees including sensitivity to noise and light as well as issues with communication and social interaction.

With the findings from the report and the research that was carried out,  Codex has been working with AsIAm to launch its new range of products designed to foster a more inclusive and adaptive working environment. The centrepiece of the new range are bespoke,  AsIAm endorsed  ‘Balance Booths’ that allow employees to physically remove themselves from the noise and bustle of the work environment while remaining connected to their teams. ‘The Balance Booths’ have been designed with unique sensory features to provide further regulation opportunities, including tactile ridged dots on the underside of the table for sensory input, a fresh air feature, and coloured lights.

Other items in the new range include an acoustic lounge chair that provides a private, semi-enclosed space for employees who need to detach from the busy work environment and a range of office seats, stools and chairs including the ‘Swopper’, Numo Task chair and Variable kneeling chair that promote movement, which is vital to cognitive development and can also help employees to regulate and maintain focus.

The full neuroinclusive workplace product range is on display at the Autism Europe Congress in the RDS, which is being hosted by AsIAm and Autism Europe and where Codex is a platinum sponsor and exhibitor. Attendees at the 3-day event can try out the new pods and chairs for themselves and talk to members of Codex’s speciality Furniture and Interiors team about the products.

“We’re proud and excited to launch this groundbreaking range of neuroinclusive products that will help Irish employers and companies to build truly inclusive workplaces for their employees,” said Patrick Murphy, CEO of Codex and a keynote speaker at this week’s Autism Europe Congress in Dublin’s RDS.

“The new range has been developed in response to our own research, which found that many traditional workplace designs and social expectations can create unnecessary barriers for neurodivergent employees,” Mr Murphy said. “We were also delighted to be able to consult with our partners at AsIAm, who provided real-world insights and experience that helped to shape the new product offerings.

“We hope these new products will help pave the way for employers and employees to have a positive conversation about workplace inclusivity, starting here at the Autism Europe Congress,” Mr Murphy added.

Codex is already trusted by a range of organisations including universities and private sector companies to deliver products that support neurodivergent people. The company’s ‘Neuroinclusion in the Workplace’ report highlights ways in which employers can improve the everyday experience for neurodivergent employees or students.

“We welcome the launch of Codex’s neuroinclusive workplace range and are proud to have contributed to the development of these products, which are accessible and inclusive by design,” said Adam Harris, CEO of AsIAm “It is fitting that the new product range is being launched here at the 14th International Autism Europe Congress in Dublin and I’m sure ‘The Balance Booth’ and other products will be a big talking point among delegates.”

In-camera 32-bit float audio recording: capture sound freely using the camera’s internal mics, or a compatible external mic, and adjust the levels in post without clipping.

Cinematic video modes and custom RED Picture Controls: 4 creative video modes and 9 custom RED presets for content with a cinematic look and feel straight out of the camera.

Fast, intelligent AF: quick, accurate, reliable, and customisable. Intelligent subject detection and tracking, custom wide-area AF, and selectable AF speeds for smooth, repeatable focus transitions.

5-axis in-body image stabilisation: Nikon’s sensor-shift Vibration Reduction keeps footage steady.

Focus-breathing compensation: for smoother, more natural-looking transitions.

Long recording times: an innovative body design efficiently and quietly dissipates heat.

Baseus Chooses Knowles Balanced Armature Drivers With The Inspire XC1 #IFA2025

Knowles Corporation a leading manufacturer of specialty electronic components, including high performance capacitors, radio frequency (“RF”) filters, advanced medtech microphones, and balanced armature (BA) speakers, today announced that Baseus has selected Knowles BA drivers for its flagship open-ear clip wireless earbuds, the Baseus Inspire XC1. This marks the first time Knowles BA technology has been integrated into an open-ear wireless design, representing a significant breakthrough in personal audio innovation.

Revolutionary Hybrid 2-Way Sound Engine

The Baseus Inspire XC1 features a pioneering hybrid 2-way sound engine that pairs a Knowles BA with a 12mm dynamic driver in each earbud. This distinctive combination addresses longstanding acoustic challenges in open-ear designs while delivering crystal-clear sound that rivals traditional in-ear models. Tuned with Baseus’s adaptive SuperBass 3.0 technologies, these open-ear headphones deliver full-range, high-fidelity sound—just as the artist intended. This distinctive combination addresses longstanding acoustic challenges in open-ear designs while delivering crystal clear sound that rivals traditional in-ear models.

Open-ear wireless devices sit outside the ear canal, allowing ambient sound to naturally coexist with the audio experience while providing benefits such as comfort during extended wear, reduced occlusion effect, increased battery capacity, and enhanced situational awareness. However, open-ear designs have historically faced acoustic challenges, including sound leakage, low-frequency drop-off due to a lack of seal, and difficulties in delivering full-spectrum audio.

The Inspire XC1 overcomes these limitations through its sophisticated acoustic system, which combines the precision of Knowles’ miniaturized BAs with the power of a 12mm dynamic driver. This results in a frequency response that captures both subtle sonic textures and a dynamic range that single-driver designs cannot achieve. The dynamic woofer enhances low-frequency response, while the exclusive Knowles BA tweeter delivers exceptional clarity in the mid and high frequencies.

“This collaboration represents a significant milestone for both open-ear wireless audio and our BA technology,” said Jon Kiachian, President of MedTech and Specialty Audio at Knowles Corporation. “This is the first time our BAs have been integrated into an open-ear design, and Baseus has demonstrated remarkable innovation in addressing the unique acoustic challenges of this format. The result showcases exactly what becomes possible when our cutting-edge driver technology meets thoughtful product design—an open-ear audio experience that reveals all the nuances and details of music that conventional open-ear designs simply cannot reproduce.”

Designed for Every Lifestyle

These revolutionary earbuds are ideal for users who want to listen to music while remaining aware of their surroundings. Whether you’re working out at the gym, taking phone calls while walking the street, snowboarding, or skating with music, wearing a clip-on earbud all day at the office for quick calls, or working and studying in a coffee shop, the Baseus Inspire XC1 delivers uncompromising audio quality without sacrificing situational awareness.

Knowles BA drivers enable unprecedented sound performance for their size, allowing Baseus to deliver professional-grade audio quality while maintaining the comfort and situational awareness benefits that make open-ear designs appealing to tech-savvy professionals. The high sensitivity of Knowles BAs also facilitates improved hearing personalization while maximizing power efficiency in the compact form factor.

The Baseus Inspire XC1 leverages Knowles BA technology to achieve the higher frequencies necessary for optimal audio performance, unlocking intricate musical details while preserving natural tonal balance. Advanced features include Dolby Spatial Audio, Hi-Res certification, LDAC codec support, and a leak-proof acoustic design that positions the earbuds among the world’s best-sounding open-ear audio devices.

“When developing our Inspire XC1 open-ear clip model, we needed a technology partner that could help us solve fundamental acoustic challenges that have limited this category,” said Shiyou He, Baseus Founder and CEO. “Knowles BA drivers were the breakthrough we needed, allowing us to achieve frequency response and detail that would be hard with conventional single-driver open-ear designs. This collaboration enables us to create the first open-ear earbuds that can compete with premium in-ear models on audio quality.”

The Baseus Inspire XC1 open-ear clip wireless earbuds featuring Knowles BA technology were unveiled ahead of IFA and are available through the Baseus US official website, Baseus DE official website, Amazon U.S., Amazon DE and Amazon UK.  For more information on Knowles BAs, visit www.knowles.com/premiumsound.

Design-forward brands come together in the TCL NXTHOME ® zone to shape the future of living

At IFA 2025, TCL brings premium brands together within the TCL NXTHOME ® zone to explore how innovation, craftsmanship, and emotion can redefine the living space.  

Returning for a second year of creative dialogue, TCL and Roche Bobois present a shared vision of the future home as more than a place of function, integrating seamlessly into everyday life, and showing how technology and well-crafted furniture coexist naturally and intuitively. The space explores how design can inspire emotion, movement, and meaning.

In parallel, Alcantara and TCL continue to push the boundaries between technology and design, crafting experiences that are not only smarter, but also more expressive. In the TCL Home Theater area, Alcantara presents a dedicated installation highlighting the material with an engaging display of textures, finishes and colors, bringing a sensory dimension to the space and showcasing the excellence of being made in Italy.

As another expression of craftsmanship, the TCL NXTHOME® presents the TCL NXTPAPER 60 Ultra smartphone alongside a Castelli Milano 1938 notebook. The pairing highlights the paper-like comfort of NXTPAPER display technology, complemented by the Italian artistry of Castelli’s notebook design. Together, they celebrate the fusion of screen innovation and tactile inspiration, merging modern technology with timeless craftsmanship to spark creativity in everyday life.

The TCL NXTHOME® Zone reflects the shared values of all three brands: premium craftsmanship, material innovation, and a commitment to elevating everyday environments through design.
