As CES 2025 draws to a close, we’re brimming with pride and gratitude. The hard work and dedication of our incredible ONANOFF team made this year’s CES an unforgettable experience. Their unwavering commitment ensured our booth was a hub of energy, innovation, and meaningful connections. To everyone who stopped by, from near and far, we extend a heartfelt thank you. Your support fuels our mission to create safe, sustainable, and high-quality audio solutions for all.
A Milestone Unveiling: Introducing EcoBuddy
The highlight of CES 2025 was the official unveiling of EcoBuddy, our latest innovation in eco-conscious design, soon-to-be available. With the growing demand for sustainable products, EcoBuddy sets a new standard by combining superior sound quality with environmental responsibility.
EcoBuddy is crafted from nearly 95% recycled materials, including ocean-sourced polypropylene and ABS plastic. By transforming ocean-recovered plastics into high-quality headphones, EcoBuddy addresses marine pollution while reducing dependence on virgin plastics. This initiative not only contributes to a circular economy but also introduces young listeners to the importance of sustainable choices.
In partnership with Seven Clean Seas, we’re removing plastic from the ocean for every pair of EcoBuddy headphones produced. Our goal is to inspire the next generation of eco-conscious listeners, proving that even small, everyday choices can have a significant impact.
Meaningful Connections: The Heart of CES
Beyond product showcases, CES 2025 gave us the invaluable opportunity to connect with parents and receive their real-time feedback. As a brand dedicated to enhancing children’s audio experiences while safeguarding their hearing, these face-to-face conversations are incredibly meaningful. Listening to parents’ concerns and stories helps us refine our products and strengthen our commitment to protecting young ears.
The joy of being back on the exhibition floor and reconnecting with friends, colleagues, and partners from around the world was immeasurable. While our SafeAudio products are distributed globally, CES provides a unique platform to personally engage with distributors, retailers, influencers, and other partners. These interactions deepen relationships and reinforce our shared vision for the future of audio technology.
Reflecting on 2024: A Year of Growth and Expansion
As we celebrate our successes at CES 2025, we’re also reflecting on the milestones achieved in 2024. A standout highlight was launching StoryPhones and BuddyPhones in Target and Sam’s Club stores across the United States. Expanding our presence in these major retailers marked a significant step in making our products more accessible to families nationwide.
Looking Ahead: Inspired and Energized
Starting the year with a successful CES show sets a rejuvenating tone for the months ahead. CES serves as a valuable source of inspiration and positions us as pioneers in the realm of safe and sustainable listening solutions. The camaraderie of our international team, the shared vision with our partners, and the encouragement from visitors to our booth leave us invigorated and ready to tackle new challenges.
To all our media partners, distributors, retailers, influencers, friends, and parents who visited us at CES 2025 – thank you. Your enthusiasm and belief in our mission inspire us to continue innovating and striving for excellence in children's audio. Here’s to a promising and inspired journey ahead as we build a future of safer, tougher, and more sustainable sound solutions for our littlest listeners.
