Unity Headphones Earn Two Red Dot Design Awards in 2023

HED Unity, a Swiss audio company specializing in consumer and professional audio markets, is thrilled to announce that their Unity headphones have received two prestigious Red Dot Design Awards in the categories of Innovative Product and Product Design. The awards were presented at a ceremony held in Essen, Germany, on June 19th, 2023. The Red Dot jury praised Unity headphones for their impressive integration of Wi-Fi functionality, enabling lossless audio streaming.

One of the standout features of Unity headphones is the introduction of Full-Fidelity™, a revolutionary wireless audio standard that enables the transmission of uncompressed audio through the Multisource Music Player or the Unity App. These headphones can connect to high-definition streaming services, allowing for truly lossless wireless audio with a stream of up to 24bit/96kHz. The memory foam ear cushions are designed with cooling gel and soft microfiber fabric, ensuring optimal comfort during extended listening sessions. The jury commended the Unity headphones for their high level of innovation and the exceptional materials and craftsmanship that contribute to the outstanding sound quality. The precision CNC construction of the earcups, milled from a single block of 6063 architectural-grade aluminum alloy, sets a new standard in industrial audio design while reducing external noise to enhance the effectiveness of active noise cancellation.

Co-CEO Tim Degraye expressed his immense pride in receiving the Red Dot Awards, stating, “I have been a devoted follower of the Red Dot Awards for many years and have collected all their Yearbooks since 2008. To have our very first product not only win the Design Award but also the Product Innovation Award is an incredible honor. It validates that we have succeeded in creating something truly remarkable. Unity headphones are more than just a pair of headphones; they represent the way music should always be experienced. It is our commitment to deliver a better world through superior sound quality, fostering unity and understanding within our global family.”
