A strategic agreement between a pioneer in audio technology, EPOS, and a leader in computing solutions, Lenovo will result in fielding high-quality audio solutions for business professionals.
The agreement leverages the strengths of both brands in design, development, innovation and market reach to address the growing demand for professional audio experiences in the hybrid work environment.
The professional audio market is experiencing long term growth driven by hybrid work, broad unified communication adoption and end user updates of headset devices for enhanced audio experiences. Lenovo and EPOS aim to address this demand by providing high-quality audio solutions that are powerful, reliable and easy to use and solve today’s unified communications challenges at home, in the office or on the move.
Through the agreement, EPOS will be Lenovo’s global audio partner for PC audio accessories. Lenovo and EPOS are committed to creating better experiences for customers, with a more seamless audio experience for EPOS headsets when combined with Lenovo devices such as ThinkPad and ThinkBook laptops. This includes the co-development of future hardware, software and services to create professional audio solutions and drive innovative PC and audio ecosystems for greater user engagement and productivity optimisation. The shared ambition is to create unique value propositions for customers who seek clear communication, flawless collaboration and optimal productivity tools within multiple hybrid working user scenarios. Additionally, the EPOS portfolio will be included in Lenovo’s 3rd party offering program giving customers an extensive choice of audio devices from a single source.
“I’m thrilled to announce that we are strengthening our partnership with Lenovo. At EPOS, we’re committed to designing audio and video solutions that unleash human potential. Embarking on this venture with Lenovo will help us continue to deliver on this commitment, expand our offering and reach to new heights for communication and collaboration experiences.
