HIGH END Munich

15. - 18. May 2025 | International Trade Fair for High-End Audio and Music Playback Technology

HIGH END Munich is one of the world’s most prestigious trade fairs for high-quality consumer electronics. Since its inception in 1982, it has stood for outstanding sound quality, technical precision, and exclusive audio technology. The name “HIGH END” signifies far more than premium sound – it is recognized globally as a mark of quality and a benchmark for exceptional music reproduction.

Each year, the fair attracts music enthusiasts, tech-savvy visitors, and industry professionals from around the globe to the MOC – Event Center Messe München, a modern and conveniently located venue in the northern part of Bavaria’s capital city.

The exhibition is organized by HIGH END SOCIETY Service GmbH, an experienced and internationally active specialist in high-end audio trade shows. HIGH END Munich serves as the central platform for the high-end industry, showcasing both traditional hi-fi technology and the latest developments in video, home cinema, streaming, headphones, and digital signal processing.

What sets the event apart is the combination of emotional sound experiences with cutting-edge innovation. Visitors can expect a premium trade fair atmosphere featuring impressive product presentations, realistic sound demonstrations, and hands-on encounters with the latest technologies—often long before they reach the market.

Exhibitors include renowned audio brands, specialized manufacturers, innovative startups, and representatives from the music industry, retail, and media technology sectors. The professional audience ranges from audiophile consumers to sound engineers, developers, distributors, retailers, and media representatives from all over the world.

HIGH END Munich also serves as the flagship event of an international trade fair series, which includes HIGH END Vienna, another key event in the global audio technology landscape.

The MOC in Munich provides the ideal setting for this leading international fair, with its light-filled halls, modern exhibition spaces, and high-performance infrastructure. Its direct connections to motorways, the airport, and public transportation, along with a wide range of nearby hotels and restaurants, ensure that the event meets the highest standards – not only in terms of acoustics but also in terms of organization – all within a city renowned as a European cultural capital and the perfect backdrop for sonic excellence.

The HIGH END will take place on 4 days from Thursday, 15. May to Sunday, 18. May 2025 in Munich.
