Executive Summary
The State of Sound report compiles key findings from extensive audio
research with consumers across the world. The 2022 study had 6,000
smartphone users as participants, examining the factors that influence
audio device purchases, as well as interest in present and potential
usage scenarios. The report is intended to make it easier to understand
the qualities thatconsumers seek in earbuds, headphones, speakers,
and other audio equipment. The focus of this year’s research is on the
growth of the true wireless earbud category, growing interest in spatial
audio, and the continued importance of lossless and high-res audio quality.
Sound has never been more important. Many consumers today
make extensive use oftheir audio devices throughout the day, from
commuting, to watching videos, playinggames, working remotely, and
listening to music. Globally, the most in-demand personal electronic
devices are smartphones, smart speakers, and true wireless earbuds.
As smartphone capabilities continue to become richer, consumers are
increasingly looking for advanced features in their audio devices, such
as lossless audio qualityand spatial audio functionality.
Globally, there is now a shi to a hybrid working model as we see
restrictions ease post-pandemic. Our research has found that these
shis may be happening more slowly than expected, butare still
having a notable impact onaudio device use for commuting and
work-related calls.
Active noise cancellation remains the highest-ranked rich audio feature,
joined by lossless audio as a heavily desired feature, with audio savvy
listeners demanding higher-quality audio year-on-year. Gaming has
alsoaccelerated in popularity, providing an opportunity for manufacturers
to add new features such as voice back-channelling, lower latency and
other gaming-related benefits in next-gen audio products.
报告摘要
《音频产品使用现状调研报告》汇集了面向全球消费者进行的广
泛的音频研究洞察。2022 年的报告基于 6000 名智能手机用户
的调研数据,揭示了影响消费者购买音频设备的驱动因素,以及
对当前和潜在使用场景的兴趣程度。本报告致力于更好地了解消
费者对于耳塞、耳机、音箱和其他音频设备品质的追求。 今年的
调研报告重点关注不断扩大的真无线耳塞市场、消费者对空间音
频兴趣的增长、以及重要性不断提升的无损与高分辨率的音质。
如今,音频的重要性已经不言而喻。从日常通勤、观看视频、畅
玩游戏、远程办公到聆听音乐,消费者每天都在大量地使用他们
的音频设备。在全球,最常用的个人电子设备是智能手机、智能
音箱和真无线耳塞。随着智能手机功能进一步丰富,消费者也不
断追求音频设备带来的更多先进特性,如无损音质和空间音频功
能。
随着后疫情时代全球防疫限制逐渐放宽,人们的办公模式正向混
合办公模式转变。我们的研究发现,这些转变的发生可能会比预
期的要慢,但仍对通勤和工作通话相关音频设备的使用产生显著
影响。
主动降噪仍然是受访者最看重的一项音频设备特性,而随着精通
音频的消费者对更高质量音频需求的同比增长,无损音频也成为
了一个拥有强烈需求的功能,同时,随着游戏的快速流行,这也
为设备制造商在其下一代音频产品中增加例如语音回传通道,低
时延等新的游戏相关特性创造了重要机遇。
* 本报告中涉及的所有百分比、消费者行为和态度仅基于本次调研的受访者的回答。
