HARMAN International has acquired Sound United, the former consumer audio business of Masimo Consumer.

Sound United’s portfolio of audio brands includes Bowers & Wilkins, Denon, Marantz, Definitive Technology, Polk Audio, HEOS, Classé and Boston Acoustics. The acquisition comes as HARMAN aims to expand its audio portfolio across the industry.

“HARMAN’s vision is to create experiences that enrich people’s lives through exceptional audio experiences,” HARMAN Lifestyle Division president Dave Rogers says.

“Sound United’s impressive roster of brands is rooted in a deep passion for sound, innovation, and commitment to quality that aligns with HARMAN’s own values. This transaction unlocks meaningful growth opportunities for everyone. It bolsters HARMAN’s strategy to build on its unparalleled success story and scale to unprecedented heights as an audio leader.”

Sound United will operate as a standalone strategic business unit (SBU) within HARMAN’s Lifestyle Division.
