Global technology startup Geeksloft (CEO Seongwook Lee) announced on the 4th that its smart headphone 'Perisphere' won the 'Best of Innovation Award' in the 'Headphones & Personal Audio' category at 'CES 2026', the world's largest IT exhibition.
Geeksloft is a startup located in the Pangyo Startup Zone, established by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and operated by the Korea Institute of Startups and Entrepreneurship Development and the Gyeonggi Center for Creative Economy and Innovation. It develops innovative content devices and services.
Perisphere is the world's first smart headphone that combines auditory and visual functions, bridging the gap between existing audio-only headphones and VR/AR devices. It connects wirelessly to a smartphone, allowing users to listen to music and watch videos, and capture the user's perspective in 3D and share it in real time.
Geeksloft has been working on the Perisphere project for the past four years, undergoing 10 design revisions and filing for over 30 patents to enhance the product's perfection, and has conducted user tests with over 1,000 people at global exhibitions.
CEO Lee Seong-wook stated, "Winning the CES Best of Innovation Award demonstrates that our direction of blurring the lines between hearing and vision has been recognized in the global market. Headphones will evolve beyond music listening into a content platform for capturing and sharing everyday experiences." He added, "We plan to accelerate our global business expansion by pursuing crowdfunding and investment attraction, aiming for a global launch in 2026."
