This is Zound

Zound Industries is a brand incubator of the highest standard. Four brands currently reside in this incubator, each with a distinct personality intended to serve a specific target audience and address their needs. This is why each brand has its own staff, products and philosophy and is treated separately from the rest of the brands.

  • House brands
  • Licensed brands

Urbanears has built its success upon a few simple ingredients, great design, innovative features and lots and lots of color. These building blocks are what has helped catapult Urbanears into 90 countries (and growing) worldwide, and changed the perception of how people think of headphones.

Triangularity. From the packaging to the logo, and even the small details on the headphones, the triangle has a constant presence throughout the Coloud brand. That attention to detail combined with ergonomic design and a bang for your buck price give Coloud a leg up on the competition. It appeals to a broad audience, especially the younger demographic, who appreciate quality in design without breaking the bank.

50 years of rock ‘n’ roll history has been poured into every detail of the Marshall line of products. From headphones to speakers, the Marshall legacy lives on for those who wish to bring the big stage presence home with them.

Bold and distinctive, Molami takes a revolutionary approach to headphones. First and foremost, it’s the first feminine electronics brand designed by women, for women. The use of exclusive materials and tailored design also firmly place it in fashion’s upper stratosphere. Because of this, you’ll find Molami sold in the finest boutiques and department stores in the world.

Zound Industries is the company behind Swergie, a showcase for Swedish design, culture and creativity that coincides with fashion weeks in cities like New York, London, Milan and Paris, just to name a few.

Everything you ever wanted to know about Zound Industries, and more.

This is Zound

Zound Industries is a success story that is still being written. A relatively young company, its beginnings can be traced back to 2008, when eight ambitious individuals with different backgrounds in design, product development, finance, marketing, sales and business came together to form a company that would, in three years time, be shipping headphones to over 95 countries worldwide.

Our Stockholm HQ

Here’s where we work from the perspective of Solo, an 18-month-old Lagotto Romagnolo, who spends his days with us in our office in downtown Stockholm. We’d like to say that our place is usually tidier than this, but that would be a lie. Go to contact to get in touch with us.

The Zound Timeline

Can you spare a few minutes? Here’s what’s been happening at Zound Industries since our launch in 2009.

From the Mind of a Mad Man

“It happened one morning. It was a morning not unlike any other morning. I was lying there peacefully in my bed, just having woken up from a restful sleep, when out of nowhere a bold question comes rushing into my head, disturbing my thoughts like a bat out of hell.”

Slussen Released

Mobile DJs rejoice! Now you can take your next set with you wherever you go with Slussen – a powerful adapter and app combination that transforms your mobile device into a fully loaded DJ kit.

Urbanears Spring/Summer Collection

Winter’s almost over. For us in Stockholm, that’s a big deal. But even if there’s nothing related to a snowflake anywhere close to where you are, a splash of color is still always refreshing. We’ve got three thirst-quenching colors in our Spring/Summer 2013 collection to add a pop of color to your headphone collection. There’s Olive, a soft and warm yellowish-green shade, Coral, a sunny concoction of pink and orange tones, and Petrol, the versatile aquamarine hue that’s never too loud or showy.

Swergie Berlin

Swergie, a worldwide concert tour presented by Zound Industries, made its second stop in Berlin Jan 16, bringing with it a combination of unexpected performances of well-known musicians and artists and an immersive audiovisual experience.

Molami in Milan

We’re so excited to be showing our products at this year’s Milan Design Week, the world’s largest international furniture and design fair, which attracts more than 300,000 visitors to the city each year.

Our clients were delighted to discover Zound Industries headphones. Urbanears took them by surprise with their great colors and good quality materials.
