Acoustic Tuning & Evaluation
Quality Testing & Validation
Headphone Testing & Quality Control
Our testing equipment supports evaluation of sound performance, functions and durability. Test conditions and acceptance criteria depend on the selected model and agreed project specifications. Explore the quality-control process.
Button Life Testing Machine
We simulate normal button usage by adding a 200g weight and pressing the button 3,000 times, then verify its functionality.
Temperature Cycling Test Machine
Cycle headphones 5 times between 70°C±2°C (playing music, 2h) and -20°C±2°C (4h) with <30m transitions. Verify no damage/fire and test all functions to pass.
Drop Test Machine
Drop on a cement floor (6 sides, 1 drop/side). Inspect for cracks or looseness, then verify all electrical, button, indicator, and sound functions to pass.
Simulated Vehicle Transportation Vibration Tester
Vibrate for 10 minutes. Inspect seams and joints for cracks or looseness, then verify all electrical, button, light, and sound functions to pass.
Charging Port Durability Testing Machine
Connect the charging cable 1,000 times (10–20/min). Verify port functionality and secure magnetic contact to pass.
Wire Bending Test Machine
Apply a 1000g tension weight and rotate at 20 RPM. Verify no damage or stretching and confirm load-bearing limits to pass.
Battery Capacity Grading Tester
Connect to the tester and run charge/discharge cycles via software. Verify capacity and voltage readings meet specifications to pass.
Salt Spray Testing Machine
Expose metal components to a 5% NaCl solution (pH 6.5–7.3, 35°C). Verify zero signs of corrosion to pass.
Leakage Detection Equipment
Submerge the product and apply vacuum pressure (19–21). Identify continuous bubbling to locate leaks, then release pressure, dry, and mark the leakage points.
Bluetooth Multifunction Tester
Charging Power Tester
After connecting the Bluetooth headphones, the tester will display the charging current and maximum power consumption.
Charging Aging Equipment
Verify secure magnetic connection and monitor LED (green = charging, white = full). Pass if the connection is solid and the green light does not persist beyond 2-3 hours.
IP68 Waterproof Testing Machine
Inspect for scratches or stains, secure in the fixture, and activate the mold. Verify a green “PASS” indicator to pass.
Testing Equipment for Hearing Aids
Test the gain levels across different frequency bands and the distortion of hearing aid headphones.

ODM Frequently Asked Questions
Alova supports original design and manufacturing for health headphones and open-ear audio products, including bone conduction and air conduction designs. The project scope can cover industrial design, structural engineering, electronics, acoustic tuning, tooling and production validation.
Prepare your target users, use cases, target markets, core functions, wearing requirements, target unit cost, estimated order quantity and launch schedule. Reference products or design files help clarify the brief; technical feasibility is reviewed before the scope is finalized.
The process covers concept and specification review, design, functional prototypes, acoustic tuning, tooling, design verification, production verification, pilot production and mass production. Samples and acceptance criteria should be approved at the relevant milestones.
ODM involves product design and engineering work as part of the manufacturing project. Customization based on an existing platform may require less development. Compare your requirements with our OEM services before deciding whether new tooling or a new design is needed.
Yes. Discuss your wearing format, acoustic targets, controls and intended use with our team. Explore open-ear headphones or bone conduction hearing solutions as starting points. Product claims and market requirements must be reviewed for the selected project.
The typical ODM starting quantity is 3,000 units. Final MOQ depends on the product, component sourcing, tooling and customization scope and is confirmed in the project quotation.
A typical development estimate is 14–22 weeks. Tooling complexity, component availability, sample revisions and testing requirements can change the schedule. Confirm the project milestones and whether certification and mass-production lead time are included in your quotation.
Define the required functions, acoustic targets, durability checks, inspection criteria and sample approval process in the project brief. Our quality-control page shows production and testing activities; the applicable checks depend on your product.
A confidentiality agreement can be signed before sensitive design information is shared. Define ownership of designs, tooling, firmware and any exclusive rights in the project agreement before development begins.
Review the design files and functional samples against the agreed specifications. Confirm the approved sample, remaining changes and production acceptance criteria before authorizing the next manufacturing stage.
