High End Show 2025: It Was a Great Run

High End Audio Meets the Future. From May 15-18, audioXpress attended the 42nd edition of the High End show. The 2025 edition of High End was vibrant, exciting and full of new interesting things to discover. And it was also the last one in Munich. This article details our impressions of a show that will be remembered very fondly by all participants and attendees, with every corner of the MOC Event Center Messe München sold out. Next year, the High End show is moving from Germany to Austria.

The Expert Imaging & Sound Association (EISA) revealed the winners of its 2024-2025 Awards. Technical experts from over 56 leading specialist magazines and websites in 27 countries across the world have recognized and awarded the best products in their categories. The 42nd year of the awards recognizes stand-out products in hifi, home theater, mobile and car audio. This year there are again surprises and predictable winners, but also the unexplainable absence of leading products in home audio, personal audio, and particularly in the true wireless category.
