Ilman sen ihmeempiä huhuiluja tai ennakointeja Sony on ilmoittanut ostaneensa itselleen ääniteknologiaan erikoistuneen Audezen. Liiketoimintaa harjoitetaan kuitenkin jatkossakin itsenäisesti. Lehdistötiedotteesta raportoi Business Wire, jonka mukaan lisälaitteita valmistetaan jatkossakin monelle eri alustalle.
Sony Interactive Entertainmentin Hideaki Nishino on innoissaan.
"Audeze is a premier brand for headphones, and this acquisition highlights Sony Interactive's focus on innovation and providing the best audio experience to PlayStation players. We're excited to bring Audeze's expertise into the PlayStation ecosystem, building on the great strides we've made with PlayStation 5's Tempest 3D AudioTech and the Pulse 3D wireless headset."
Audezen toimitusjohtaja Sankar Thiagasamudram hihkui hänkin.
"Sony Interactive provides Audeze with a unique opportunity to scale our business, as we continue with our mission to deliver best-in-class headphones to recording professionals, audiophiles, and gamers. We're also looking forward to contributing to Sony Interactive's efforts to take PlayStation audio experiences to the next level."
