Big news in audio with one of the largest mass market audio brands acquiring one of the largest premium audio brands! While much of the initial reaction has focused on the benefits to both brands in the automotive sector, which is certainly justified, it'll be interesting to see how this acquisition impacts the home audio hardware and headphone markets. The mass market, Bose's traditional home, is becoming increasingly saturated. While the traditional premium audio space, where McIntosh and Sonus Faber are hugely popular, remains strong it also remains a niche market. There is, however, currently a huge amount of interest in bridging this gap - mass market products such as wireless speakers, headphones and soundbars at prices that are a step up from the mass market but below true luxury. In luxury wireless speakers alone, 2024 has seen traditional audio brands such as Meridian and Cambridge Audio entering this market, with Marantz set to release it's first luxury wireless speaker early next year. Just a few years ago there were only a handful of players in luxury wireless speakers, headphones and soundbars, but today's news offers yet another hint that this is going to be an increasingly fierce battleground in the coming years. #Audio #PremiumAudio #LuxuryAudio #Bose #McIntosh #SonusFaber #Automotive #AutomotiveAudio
