2021: Google bought Dysonics

In early April 2021, it became known that Google it bought the developer of digital sound technologies Dysonics. Under the terms of the deal concluded in December 2020, Google will receive rights to intellectual property patents. startup Financial details were not disclosed.

Founded in 2011, Dysonics startup exited the University of California Technology Incubator. Although Google itself declined to comment on this acquisition, some Dysonics employees noted in LinkedIn that they began working for a larger corporation. Two employees openly admitted that they are developing "audio equipment" for Google.

Google acquired Dysonics

It is known that the corporation is preparing for the release of the next model of fully wireless headphones, the heir to the favorably accepted Pixel Buds 2 experts. Given that 3D sound is a key feature of Apple's AirPods Pro and Samsung's Galaxy Buds Pro, Google makes sense to try its hand at introducing similar features for the future iteration of Pixel Buds. However, at the moment this is only an assumption, since Buds were not mentioned in the acquisition report. Another application of the acquired technologies may be Nest acoustic systems, but this seems less likely, given the experience of Dysonics in the field of work on headphones.

Dysonics explains that its proprietary algorithms create surround sound that mimics the actual environment of speakers. Since headphones are nowadays the most widely used form of listening to multimedia, Dysonics technologies have found their main application in this area - for example, when watching a film with a three-dimensional audio track, they plausibly reproduce it, as if the user is in the theater or as if the sound is played through a home multi-channel system.^[1]
