HED Unity, a Swiss audio company focused on the consumer and professional audio markets, is proud to announce the Unity headphones received two 2023 Red Dot Design Awards in the Innovative Product and Product Design categories. The awards were officially announced in a ceremony on June 19th held in Essen, Germany. “These headphones impress with lossless audio streaming thanks to integrated Wi-Fi functionality,” the Red Dot jury explained regarding Unity’s award.
The Unity headphones also introduce Full-Fidelity™, a new wireless audio standard that transmits uncompressed audio through the Multisource Music Player or the Unity App, which can connect to high def streaming services, yielding in a stream up to 24bit/96kHz for truly lossless, wireless audio. The memory foam ear cushions are fit with cooling gel and a soft microfiber fabric that ensures comfort for long listening durations. “The Unity headphones demonstrate a high level of innovation,” the jury continues. “Moreover, the materials and workmanship support the sound quality in an exemplary manner.” The earcups are constructed by a precision CNC process, milling each piece from a single block of 6063 architectural-grade aluminium alloy, which not only raises the bar in industrial audio design, but also reduces the external noise to further support active noise cancellation.
“I have been a big fan of the Red Dot Awards for many years and have collected all of their Yearbooks since 2008. To have the first product I ever designed win not only the Design Award, but also the Product Innovation Award is a tremendous honor,” co-CEO Tim Degraye said. “It is the ultimate validation that I have done something right. Unity is so much more than a simple pair of headphones; they are the way music should always be heard. It’s our promise for a better world through better sound, through better understanding to bring us closer together as a family.”
