HIGH END is one of the most important international trade fairs for high-quality consumer electronics. Since its founding in 1982, it has stood for outstanding sound quality, technical precision, and exclusive audio technology. The name "HIGH END" is far more than just a synonym for top-notch sound – it is recognized worldwide as a promise of quality and a benchmark for excellent music reproduction. Year after year, the trade fair attracts music lovers, technology enthusiasts, and trade visitors from all over the world. The HIGH END event was last held in Munich in 2025. From 2026, the trade fair will be held at the Austria Center Vienna (ACV) in Vienna.
The exhibition is organized by HIGH END SOCIETY Service GmbH, an experienced and internationally active specialist in high-end audio trade shows.
