Sony has today announced that it has entered an agreement to acquire audio technology brand Audeze.
Audeze is a leading name in audio technology and is behind a large portfolio of high-end gaming headphones. The company is based in Santa Ana California and provides high-quality audio options for gamers, professionals and audiophiles.

“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,” said Sankar Thiagasamudram, CEO at Audeze. “We’re also looking forward to contributing to Sony Interactive’s efforts to take PlayStation audio experiences to the next level.”
