High-End Munich 2025
The MOC in Munich with its 30,000 SQM space once again is the host of the 2025 High-End show. With over 500 exhibitors, 1.000 brands and 22.000 visitors from over 400 countries, the show confirms its status of the industries’ most important show in the world.
In Munich you have all the brands that really matter, with plenty of product launches, “pro only” days and you get to see all your audio friends again. What’s not to like?
We already know that most of the Headphone related equipment at the High-End show will be joined together in the World Of Headphones location at the show, but there is plenty more to discover throughout the full Messe building.
For those of you that aren’t familiar yet with the best show of the year, check out our previous show reports here. The HIGH END, the internationally renowned audio exhibition, is the undisputed leader when it comes to impressively setting the tone for top-class music reproduction. It has been providing ideas and impetus for producers, sellers and consumers of high-quality consumer electronics for four decades. On the four days of the event, the entire world of audio experts and professionals gather in Munich to visit hundreds of exhibitors from more than 40 different countries as they showcase their latest innovations in the halls and atriums of the MOC event center.
The Norwegian singer Anette Askvik represents the HIGH END 2025 as its brand ambassador, embodying this year’s motto “Passion for Music”. Her art perfectly reflects the passion with which we seek to promote audio technology, and which she expresses in her music. Anette Askvik is renowned for her hypnotic sound, seamlessly blending deep emotion with technical precision—a perfect parallel to the philosophy of HIGH END.
At the WORLD OF HEADPHONES, presented in a colour-coded separate area in the exhibition halls at the HIGH END show, leading manufacturers, distributors and dealers will be showcasing a large selection of mobile and stationary sound equipment. In this area, visitors can take their time to try out and compare a multitude of different headphones.
You can find the full list of Head-Fi related exhibitors here.
This year the leading international audio show is hosted from May 15 to 18, with the first 2 days being for pro and business insiders only. There will be 500! exhibitors representing over 1000 brands, so if you don’t find it there, you won’t find it anywhere. I myself will be there only for the Pro days on Thursday and Friday, but if you do spot me during that time, come say hello and get a Headfonia gadget.
