'Acoustically speaking, we are developing the sound of all future PlayStation audio products' — Audeze marketing director teases what's next for its Sony collaboration, including new audio hardware that is in 'various stages of development'

Audeze, a premier audio brand and pioneer of high-end gaming headphones, is "deeply involved" in the creation of future PlayStation audio hardware. Sony acquired Audeze in 2023 to continue its focus on innovation in PlayStation audio, while allowing Audeze to operate independently and develop multi-platform products. Peter James, marketing director at Audeze, revealed that there are products at various stages of development in the PlayStation audio collaboration.

James emphasized that Audeze's "primary function within PlayStation is to develop the next generation of PlayStation audio," with the goal of bringing gamers "better sound" and offering the "best performance" and "the best sound." The partnership aims to make planar magnetic drivers more accessible to a wider audience, as Audeze believes that many gamers are unaware of the benefits of this technology.

By working with Sony and PlayStation, Audeze hopes to elevate the audio quality of its products and make premium audio more ubiquitous for gamers. Currently, Audeze is working on releasing new hardware, including its Audeze Maxwell 2 ANC planar magnetic gaming headset, which will be part of every PlayStation audio product.
