Re: Audeze Acquired
Sony's gaming / digital entertainment subsidiary, Sony Interactive Entertainment, is the part that acquired Audeze. This isn't Sony's electronics business. Audeze has been making gaming headphones for a while, which are very popular and at this point probably the best quality noise-filtering ones you can get. Everything is expected to continue in the same way, with this allowing Audeze to further invest in manufacturing and R&D and to also take advantage of SIE's global resources.

Re: Audeze Acquired

Yep, patents and immersive audio for games & cars, that would be my guess.

Good car audio is challenging (noise from gas engine, cabin design constraints, etc.), but with no engine sound (EV) and the ability to design immersive sound system from scratch, I foresee amazing car audio sound coming soon.

Re: Audeze Acquired
Once car audio's main source of music came from satellites beaming MP3 quality digital music, car stereo went to hell. Digital FM isn't much better sounding. Originally Posted by nicoff

Re: Audeze Acquired
Agree about Digital FM broadcast being a dud due to broadcasts at low resolutions. However, today folks can get much higher resolutions (including multichannel Dolby Atmos/Spatial Audio) which is where audio is going. Originally Posted by mep
