Euphony was specially developed to enable high-quality individual sound reproduction without headphones on flights, using a speaker system integrated into the headrest. The sound volume and signature automatically adapts to content type, cabin noise, seat position and flight phase, ensuring optimal sound coverage while allowing movement. The technically innovative system is suitable for use in long-haul aircraft.
