Most audio equipment is final the moment they leave the production floor. What you buy is all that it will ever be, permanently. For SANWEAR, we have bigger ambitions, all enabled by our app: the Soundscape.
Today, Soundscape already handles the fundamentals: custom EQ profiles and gaming modes, lighting control, device settings, and firmware updates. These are features common in most companion apps, but they were never meant to be our finish line.
Soundscape was made to keep your SANWEAR alive even after day one. Unlike fully analog headphones or IEMs, SANWEAR is a smart device. It exists in, and is capable of adapting to, an ever-changing digital ecosystem of constantly updating technology.
Firmware updates allow us to maintain SANWEAR’s compatibility with as many of your devices as possible; and with the doors wide open for performance enhancements and new capabilities on the hardware that you already own.
As Soundscape evolves, so does SANWEAR. And it’s only just begun.
Phase 1: Foundation
Phase 1 is centered on the hardware. At the core is an app that supports the entire SAN ecosystem covering the current and the next-generation of SANWEAR. The same experiences for all, no forced upgrades, no SANWEAR left behind.
Thus far, we’ve introduced: Customizable sound profiles, RGB lighting controls, programmable controls, and even complete re-tunes. As HARDWIRE goes live, we’re making improvements to these core functions and rolling out more quality of life updates such as mic tuning capabilities, transparency mode, and amplifier controls for our Audio Cortex.
Once SANWEAR is ready, we can move on to the next phase.
Phase 2: Content & Personalization
Phase 2 is where things really start getting exciting. In the current Soundscape app, we have already started uploading custom, high-resolution spatial audio content like our collaboration with Dolby Atmos producers, like Sam Barker. This is just the start of our initiative to turn the Soundscape into a spatial audio hub.
As we build out our content library and collaborator community, we’ll be implementing new ways for artists to generate revenue and give our users direct access to creators. New tools that will allow for the easy mixing and creation of spatial audio content are in the works.
By using SANWEAR and interacting in the Soundscape, users can earn rewards like exclusive content, sound profiles tuned by your favorite artists, accessories for your Soundscape Avatar, and more.
This next phase will begin in mid-2026.
Phase 3: Audio for everyone
Phase 3 is what we’ve dreamed of since we founded SAN. With SANWEAR and the Soundscape in place, we can begin to deliver on the untapped potential of personal audio, merging SANWEAR and the Soundscape into incredible experiences.
This means virtual concerts in full spatial audio, listening parties with dozens of SANWEAR all connected to a single hub delivering ultra-low latency audio. We’ll be implementing features to help build communities around audio experiences and music exploration, supplemented by our commitment to spatial audio excellence and creator first approach.
Everything we’re doing now is laying the foundations for a world interconnected through audio. Each update brings us closer to the future we’re envisioning. At SAN, we’ve only just begun to explore the limits of what’s truly possible with sound.
