For now, the disappointing news of the prestigious audio has been reported in a row.Onkyo is said to have been considering transferring the home AV business due to the excess of debt, and the transfer of the home AV business.In August last year, we just announced that we would reorganize the home AV business, and it was a big deal because we would sell it.
This month, it was reported that German Zenheiser would sell the consumer business.While maintaining the Zenheiser brand, the consumer business is developed by SONOVA (Sonova).After the transfer, Zenheiser is likely to concentrate on professional audio and microphone Neumann (Neumann) business.
However, I feel like I can understand these movements.All interesting audio products have been released by ventures and IT companies, and the quality is not bad.Of course, it is true that these companies that do not have our own factory cannot make products without the cooperation of existing audio makers, but they can compete with planning skills, speed, and point of view.
The products introduced this time are such venture products."BETWEEN PRO" is a new work of Status, which is based in New York, and has been launched on crowdfunding on May 11.It is expected to be released in July, and the retail price is 19,800 yen.
Another "A-3" is a new Swedish Earin, which created the current completely wireless boom, and has been launched nationwide in May.The retail price is 27,800 yen.
In recent years, it is a time when you can buy completely wireless for less than 10,000 yen, but even if it is a little expensive, "interesting products" are attractive.Let's test what the sound is.
