Audyssey – a company that revolutionized the home theater experience with audio technologies that dramatically improve the listening experience – recently developed a suite of new technologies to improve the audio quality of nearly 300 of the most prominent headphone models, and will be expanding to include other devices. Utilizing patented methods to measure and adjust each model with customized algorithms to return each pair to studio reference sound, Audyssey has demonstrated the ability to successfully address not just individual products, but the entire prod- uct category. With this recent success, Audyssey is focusing primarily on headphones, televisions and mobile devices, licensing its innovative audio technologies to manufacturers that want to deliver the best possible listening experience to its customers.

What's equally compelling is that manufacturers can implement Audyssey's technologies without slowing the product development timeline – essential for any company to maintain its competitive position through distinct differentiation. The CE market is in the midst of major change on many fronts, and manufacturers are eagerly seeking any possible advantage to help cement their leadership position and keep competitors at bay. Success will be achieved by those companies that work tirelessly to perfect the user experience – and delivering the best possible listening experience is elemental to achieving that goal.
