HT-AX7
iF Gold Award
Xperia 1 V
iF Gold Award
Jury Statement:
At the start of the smartphone era, Sony focused on giving its phones the highest quality sound on the market. More recently, the Xperia series has stood out for its camera quality – and the new 1V is no exception. In addition to packing high-end lenses and sensors, the body uses a tone-on-tone CMF design and a pattern wrap to deliver a professional look and ensure excellent grip.
Access™controller
iF Gold Award
Jury Statement:
Sony's original PlayStation controller is a design icon. But, like every great design, it has its limitations – in this case, of accessibility. Now Sony Interactive Entertainment has come up with a new controller that can be customized to the user's needs and abilities. The genius of this design is that it resists the temptation to merely adapt, instead delivering an entirely novel form, which may in time claim icon status of its own.
Jury Statement:
50 years ago, Sony introduced the idea of enjoying music anywhere. The HT-AX7 portable surround sound system breaks similar ground for the smartphone generation. Its sleek, minimalistic design and user-friendly interface make it the perfect accessory. This could become as iconic as the Walkman.
