The TWICE audience knew a winner when it saw one, and now The Television Academy agrees.

Blue Microphones’ Mix-Fi headphones are the first headphones to win an Emmy Award, taking home the 2018 award for Outstanding Achievement in Engineering Development.

“We’re honored to have created the first headphones to ever win an Emmy Award,” said John Maier, Blue Microphones CEO. “It’s always been our goal at Blue to create products that push the boundaries of technology and design. Winning an Emmy Award highlights the innovation we strive for, and it’s a landmark win for the company.”

The $299 headphones feature a built-in amplifier and are used by re-recording and production mixers, supervising sound editors, sound designers, musicians and music editors, the company said, including the teams on TV series “Westworld,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “NCIS.”

Blue also provided the following statement from award-winning writer, director and producer J.J. Abrams: “Blue are my go-to headphones for recording music. Their clarity, balance, presence and accuracy make them the perfect fit — which, by the way, they also are; they’re comfortable even after endless hours of use. I love ‘em!”

The headphones (formerly known as Mo-Fi) took home a TWICE VIP Award in 2015, and were a TWICE Picks Awards nominee that same year
