Logitech has just announce its buy of high-end headphone maker Ultimate Ears for a cool $34 million. Ultimate Ears specializes in in-ear headphones with prices ranging from the cheap to the insane ($900 for custom headphones molded to the listener’s ears). It appears that Ultimate Ears will retain its branding, as on the website the graphics all say “Ultimate Ears, a Logitech Company.” Logitech’s only headphones before the acquisition were Bluetooth headsets. We’ll see what UE does with Logitech’s sizable marketing and distribution resources. [Crave]
