Drawing on decades of research into how people perceive sound, Meridian has developed headsets that reduce listening fatigue and feature advanced noise cancellation, allowing passengers to enjoy entertainment at lower volumes with improved clarity.
"At Meridian, innovation has always been at the heart of who we are," says John Buchanan, CEO of Meridian Audio.

By combining decades of acoustic research with a deep understanding of how people experience audio, we are transforming in-flight listening into an elevated, more immersive experience."

“Meridian has helped accelerate the development of new luxury features, provided the flexibility our House of Brands requires, and consistently delivered competitive value — all while enhancing our customers’ handover and ownership experiences.”
