Google intends to become a full-fledged player in the audio device market. This is hinted at by recent acquisitions of related firms.
According to Protocol insiders, Google has acquired several brands in recent months, one way or another connected with the production of audio technology. Thus, the company acquired Dysonics startup, working in the field of 3D sound technologies, as well as part of the Synaptics business. In the second case, Google acquired a part of the staff and rights to patents for various equipment, including a headset with active noise reduction.
Even earlier, in 2021, the corporation entered into an agreement with startup RevX Technologies, which was working on a device for calibrating in-ear headphones designed for performances by musical artists. This investment enabled Google to gain access to patents on the noise cancellation mechanism for in-ear microphones. RevX CTO Dennis Rauschmeier is also known to have worked with the tech giant as a software algorithm developer.
Another Google case was the $17.4 million purchase of French startup Tempow, which was working on creating “the first operating system for a true wireless headset.” The corporation also hired ex-Bose engineer Peter Liu. All these manipulations, from the point of view of experts, mean active preparation for the appearance of Google on the market of audio devices. On the other hand, there is no exact data on the network about this yet. The company itself did not hint at the imminent release of such products under its own brand.
