Who the frick is buying this shit?
>That wasn't Sony that put Microsoft through the wringer, that was the government.
both FTC and CMA name Sony as the main (and more or less only) source of "woes" during for 3/4 of their investigations (till everything fall apart when Sony decided to push that "Nintendo is a separate market")
The "Cloud is a problem" was only brought as the "no deal" fully when the Console Monopoly theory failed. and even then FTC and CMA main "Victim" was PS+.
Also the closed door meeting fricking Jimbo had with CMA authorities.
most likely than not, some super specific feature that will cost them more to R&D than just buy the company (or said feature is patented).
Or the company has some sort of production line/ distribution line that Sony wants.
So you agree that there's someone out there that's excited for this.

Snoybots are not people so no I don't. No one objective gives a frick about some headphones.
Let me know when sony tries to improve their videogames platform by purchasing videogame-related companies.
Is everyone in this thread a market specialist now? Clearly these things happen for reasons you have yet to comprehend, so keep sitting in your room and play video games, let big boys do the business.
Plenty of Nintendo fans do things like invest in the stock market and know business because right next to Crypto and Legos, Nintendo games are some of the safest things you can invest your money in since they never lose value.
Now go back to crying about COD on your no gaems machine, I'm sure Big Daddy Jim Ryan has some charts you can misread and then think Sony isn;t somehow circling the drain.
Really? You're trying to win an argument with COD? An FPS game that is now a new FIFA with it's annual releases that change nothing? I would rather play Valorant instead, unironically, at least it's free. Find better games to win arguments with.
If you don’t know Audeze you’re a hifi pleb, they’re top 3 for headphones in the world. It’s not mainstream consumer friendly brand at all so dunno what Sony has planned. It’s a enthusiast niche drop $10k on placebo crystal wires kinda brand.
genuine question, why would anyone buy playstation headphones? do they have any unique functions? they can't possibly be better than what the rest of the market offers. isn't it comparable to buying an Audi smartphone?
The Audeze acquisition gives a big reason to buy Playstation headsets if Sony uses Audeze's drivers in future Playstation headsets. Audeze is an ultra premium brand that makes some of the best headphones in the world.
>if Sony uses Audeze's drivers in future Playstation headsets
You seriously think Sony is going to somehow start shitting out planar magnetic headphones for $100 when the 10 other companies doing it can't get them below $2000? There's a reason Sony never made them before
audeze nuts
Who the frick is Steve jobs?

Audeze nuts my man sheesh
some hipsters who make headphones for hipsters, only 4.5k $ a piece
I already know my current headphones sound better than these without having to listen
>monoprice

Who the frick is buying this shit?
>exclusive headphones
wtf is that
Who?
Audeze is an obscenely expensive boutique headphone make that does planar magnetic drivers.
>Planar Magnetic Headphones
uh sounds more like a sony thing rather than sie?
Another Literally Who acquisition from the master, Jim Ryan.
>hideaki nishino
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT SHIT! BUY FRICKING CAPCOM!!! DO IT NOW!!
after the shitshow they put Microsoft tru?
The moment Sony tries to buy any household name in the industry, 100% Expect Microsoft to respond in kind.
That wasn't Sony that put Microsoft through the wringer, that was the government.
the FTC was clearly in Sony's pocket my friend
That's not even fricking true, that's shit people made up in their own heads.
>The moment the judge had to remind FTC guy that they aren't concerned how it affects Sony, but the customer
lol
>That wasn't Sony that put Microsoft through the wringer, that was the government.

Again that's not proof that Sony paid the FTC or any government agency.
Black person, who said anything about paid?
im not
>multi platform headphones
wat
Oh its that company that makes moronic gimmick headphones that cant be repaired by hand and is mega expensive.
Anyways
This was done for Virtual Reality, these are the types of headphones you want to use for things like that. This is so Sony can own all the patents.
Another brilliant chess move by Sony. They know exactly how to play this game. MS is gonna regret their Activision acquisition real soon
Makes sense for Sony to buy a headphone maker. I wonder why the acquisition was done via SIE though.
It's more than likely for the PSVR2 or PlayStation accessories.
If you've ever gone to a VR arcade they have you wear headphones like that as part of the full body equipment.
I don't get it
doesn't Sony already have a leading class audio division? why the frick do they need some no name brand?
most likely than not, some super specific feature that will cost them more to R&D than just buy the company (or said feature is patented).
Or the company has some sort of production line/ distribution line that Sony wants.
it says right there they bought them for the 3d audio experience. raytracing audio is the next gen feature. returnal already has it.
So they can be even better? Even best things can be improved.
Audeze isn't a no name brand, they are a super premium brand when it comes to headphones.
>How is this going to help our videogame platform?
Accessories, fool
"I wish my PlayStation had more accessories" - No one ever
They just revealed $150 headphones that people are shitting themselves over
>The snoy version of nintendies are creaming themselves over what sony announced
w-woah!
So you agree that there's someone out there that's excited for this.

so Sony acquired not Sony PlayStation?
are these morons forgetting that Sony is biggest electronics manufacturer in Japan?
>multi-platform
>headphones
???
they could wienerblock audio features similar to dolby atmos.
>Sony
>Make decent cans
>Give them the most fragile frame they can think of
Bravo Sony, BRAVO!
>Company that has been manufacturing headphones for 40 years buys headphone making subsidiary.

yes, for israelite Reasons, that all needed to understand right now
youre talking to a bunch of morons who have fricking hyperx cloud rgb gayman headsets and have never heard of audeze, what can you expect.
Shut up Snoygay

With how they only talk about sales and never games I'd sure fricking hope so
Really? You're trying to win an argument with COD? An FPS game that is now a new FIFA with it's annual releases that change nothing? I would rather play Valorant instead, unironically, at least it's free. Find better games to win arguments with.
I thought sony basically made its name creating stereo systems, what is some yokel peasant named AUDIE going to teach them
Sony has a 4.5K $$ line?
Raytracing Audio is the future. In the past, audio was handled by the CPU. Now it's going to be handled by the GPU.
If you don’t know Audeze you’re a hifi pleb, they’re top 3 for headphones in the world. It’s not mainstream consumer friendly brand at all so dunno what Sony has planned. It’s a enthusiast niche drop $10k on placebo crystal wires kinda brand.
Who?
Does Sony still have a TV division these days?

Playstation announced a $150 headset with planar drivers yeasterday
Oh no
Nobody gives a shit snoygay
Stay on twatter
mad tendie
>videogames
Name a more autistic set of bullshit-spreading c**ts than "audiophiles"
You literally fricking can't, even wine tasters are more honest.
I only use $5 dollar headphones
My cheapass still using these.
>Audeze is a California-based high-end audio manufacturer
Sony bought it based on the geographical location alone.
The absolute Audezity
Rip audeze, now you will be making goystation headphones.
