三星通过其子公司哈曼完成了对Sound United 3.5亿美元的收购,大幅扩展了其音频产品组合。 这笔交易为哈曼现有的产品线(已包括JBL和哈曼卡顿)增加了 Bowers & Wilkins、Denon 和 Marantz 等知名品牌。 哈曼计划将Sound United 作为独立业务部门运营,保留每个品牌的独立身份并满足其现有客户群。 预计此次收购将推动增长,并巩固哈曼作为领先音频公司的地位,进一步利用三星在2016年对哈曼进行的80亿美元投资。 对于Masimo 来说,此次出售使其能够集中资源处理正在进行的法律诉讼,特别是针对美国海关与边境保护局的与Apple Watch相关的诉讼。

Samsung subsidiary Harman has completed its acquisition of Sound United, Masimo’s former audio business, adding a sizable expansion to Samsung’s audio brand portfolio. The $350 million deal was first announced in May, and brings Bowers & Wilkins, Denon, Marantz, Definitive Technology, Polk Audio, HEOS, Classé, and Boston Acoustics under the same roof as JBL, Harman Kardon, and other audio brands that Samsung acquired when it purchased Harman for $8 billion in 2016.

”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,” Harman’s lifestyle lead, Dave Rogers, said in a statement. “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 business under Harman’s lifestyle division to ensure that each audio brand preserves its identity and customer base. With the sale now completed, Masimo can focus its attention on the Apple Watch lawsuit it launched against US Customs and Border Protection in August.
