Without any prior rumors or speculations, Sony has just announced a deal with the audio technology company Audeze for an acquisition. The latter is renowned for its high-quality products, but despite becoming a part of Sony, they will continue to operate as a separate entity in the future.

The press release also states that they will proceed to “develop multi-platform products,” which likely means that Xbox players will still be able to enjoy their exceptional products. Hideaki Nishino, Senior Vice President of Sony Interactive Entertainment, had this to say about the deal:

“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.”

Audeze’s CEO, Sankar Thiagasamudram, added his own statement:

“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.”
