Blog: World of Headphones Heidelberg 2025

Just like last year we will be following High-End’s World of Headphones’ shows in 2025. The first show of the year is coming up in just a few weeks: World of Headphones Heidelberg 2025. Be there!

 

The WOH started three years ago as a special exhibition during the international audio trade fair HIGH END Munich and was held for the first time last summer as a separate event in Essen. During the main High-End show in Munich, there is a dedicated section for personal audio which the High End Society names “The World of Headphones”. Basically they group all personal audio related companies under the WOH name (follow the orange carpet) and they try to put them all together in the same area. As personal audio is getting more important each year, the area and show is growing fast. And that’s a good thing!

Because of the popularity of this part of the show, the High End Society has decided to go on tour with their World of Headphones Show. In Heidelberg, the organizer is continuing the successful series of headphone fairs. The World of Headphones Heidelberg 2025 show will be held on Saturday March 15 and it is totally FREE! You can find last year’s show report here:

Headphones are companions most music lovers cannot do without, for enjoying music when out and about or undisturbed at home. Ranging from wireless Bluetooth technology to wired high end models, as an in-ear version or with noise cancelling, the portable models, available in a wide variety, are a firmly-established accessory in the audio world. It is the direct way of listening to music, which many people find thrilling and often consider the most beautiful form of music reproduction. The listener is able to take in their favourite pieces with incredible intensity, as disturbing background noises and influences such as room acoustics can largely be tuned out. In addition, top-quality headphone amplifiers make the decisive difference, especially for audiophile listeners.

At the WOH, leading manufacturers, distributors and dealers will be showcasing a large selection of mobile and stationary sound equipment. Visitors can take their time to try out and compare a multitude of different headphones. World of Headphones promises a unique experience for audiophiles and music lovers. Immerse yourself in the world of first-class audio technology, enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and discover the fascinating fusion of music, technology and enjoyment.
