HIGH END Viena 2026
Brand by brand, the systems we recorded at the high-end audio show in Vienna — and the speakers each one was playing with.
About the show
HIGH END Vienna 2026 opened a new chapter with a brilliant premiere: from 4 to 7 June, the Austria Center Vienna became the global meeting point of the audio industry. After the move from Munich, the show gathered around 500 exhibitors from 41 countries and close to 1,000 brands, drawing 23,109 attendees from 104 countries — 10,603 trade visitors, 11,957 consumers and 549 media representatives.
The first two days were dedicated to B2B business and the last two to the public. Under the theme “The Power of Music”, Canadian singer and brand ambassador Dominique Fils-Aimé gave the first-ever live concert in HIGH END history. Special areas such as the X-PERT Stage, the World of Headphones, the Gaming Zone, the Start-Up Area and the IPS components show rounded off an edition the organisers hailed as a resounding success.
