Meridian Audio has joined forces with United Airlines to deliver custom-engineered headsets for Polaris Business Class, bringing decades of acoustic research to the skies.

Specially designed headsets allow passengers to lose themselves in their in-flight entertainment, engineered specifically for the unique acoustic challenges of the aircraft cabin environment.

Built for 40,000 Feet

Aircraft cabins can be tough places for passengers to fully enjoy audio: background noise, pressure changes, and long flight times all affect how sound is experienced.

Meridian's headsets address these challenges with advanced noise cancellation and balanced sound engineering. Dialogue and special effects stay clear, music sounds natural, and long-haul listening remains comfortable hour after hour. .

United Airlines operates one of the world's most comprehensive route networks. Their commitment to passenger comfort made them the ideal partner for Meridian's approach to audio engineering

"At Meridian, innovation has always been at the heart of who we are. This partnership with United Airlines embodies our vision for the future of sound – where advanced engineering meets human experience."

CEO of Meridian Audio - John Buchanan

Natural Sound at Altitude

Passengers can enjoy entertainment at lower volumes while maintaining exceptional clarity – with no need to compensate for cabin noise or strain to hear dialogue. Balanced bass and clear vocals work across all content types, ensuring consistent, high-quality sound whether watching films or listening to music.
