As useful as they are for listening, headphones have failed to evolve alongside other devices for capturing, watching and creating, but Perisphere is a CES 2026 Innovation Awards Honoree in Headphones & Personal Audio that offers a new vision.
Since even smart audio gear stops at sound, Perisphere fuses high-fidelity audio, a swing-down Full HD display, and stereoscopic cameras and mics into a lightweight, familiar form that serves as a private, portable media hub. For all-day comfort, Perisphere distributes weight through its headband so that users have a hands-free way to listen, watch and unlock creation and connection in ways traditional headphones never could. As creator Geeks Loft puts it, "It is not something you wear to hear, but a device that lets you create, connect, and experience the world in new dimensions."
