Knuckledragger Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 Remember when a certain Kevin Gilmore described the way Sony operates as "wireless drive-by-wire" management? Pepperidge Farm remembers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robm321 Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 "gaming headphone maker" Because if they said audiophile headphone maker, no one would know what the hell they were talking about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly a big enough market to have analysts and paid reports. https://www.businessresearchinsights.com/market-reports/gaming-headsets-and-gaming-headphones-market-103280 The audiophile headphone market?

robm321 Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 It is clearly why Sony bought them. Expect them to to change their focus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMoney Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 I thought Sony already had a decent headphone lineup. I don’t really get this move. Great news for Audeze, on the other hand! I hate to say it, but I wouldn’t want to be getting in to the high end headphone market. At least as an apple user their stuff is so solid and the wireless connection so convenient that more often than not I’ll just put on the air pod max rather than fire up the main headphone rig. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron_Dreamer Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 I'm safe and good, and as per the official statement "we continue with our mission to deliver best-in-class headphones to recording professionals, audiophiles, and gamers." 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiWire Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 Microsoft didn't get rich by writing checks. Yes, I hope Audeze is able to continue without interference. Sennheiser is doing fine right now under new ownership, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll PM with chat info (Discord.) Thx Brent. My experience with American companies owned by Japanese corporations is that success or failure depends largely on whether the parent company allocated the budget for the American subsidiary in yen or dollars. Hope Audeze gets their budget in the stronger currency. That used to be dollars, but these days the dollar ain’t shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneguy Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 What are you talking about? The dollar is swinging strong against the Yen and Yuan and just came off of parity with the Euro and almost parity with the Pound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
