Meridian Audio has partnered with United Airlines to deliver custom-engineered headsets for Polaris Business Class, bringing decades of acoustic research to the in-flight experience.

Specially designed for the unique acoustic challenges of the aircraft cabin, the headsets allow passengers to immerse themselves more fully in onboard entertainment.

Built for 30,000+ 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
