High End Munich 2025: Highlights from the International Audio Show

Today, the largest European audio technology exhibition, High End Munich 2025, opened in Munich. This year, the event takes place from May 15 to 18 at the MOC Event Center Messe München and will be the last time the show is held in this city: starting from 2026, High End will move to Vienna. Over 1,000 brands and more than 500 exhibitors from over 40 countries will be presenting their latest innovations across 30,000 square meters of exhibition space.

As in previous years, the Dr.Head team covers the most exciting premieres and highlights directly from the show floor. We invite you to join us on this four-day journey through the world of high-quality audio - follow our social media for exclusive news, reviews, and photos from the event. Throughout all four days of the exhibition, we will be updating this article with the latest from High End Munich 2025!

Noble Audio

Today, we once again visited the booth of our partners Noble Audio and spoke with Kai Moulton - the company’s marketing director and, at the same time, the nephew of the brand’s founder, the Wizard John Moulton. Noble Audio is a brand long associated with innovation in the world of portable audio. The company is renowned for its unique approach to headphone development, combining advanced technologies, signature design, and meticulous attention to detail.

This year, particular attention was drawn to their new product-the FoKus Apollo wireless over-ear headphones, featuring a hybrid driver that combines a dynamic and a planar magnetic transducer. This solution delivers truly detailed and balanced sound, while support for modern codecs and active noise cancellation elevates the listening experience to a new level. All current Noble Audio models can be viewed via the provided link.

Dan Clark Audio

At the Dan Clark Audio booth, we were welcomed by maestro Dan Clark himself-the individual behind some of the industry’s most innovative headphones. This year, the company is presenting its latest release, the Dan Clark Audio Noire XO, which has already generated significant interest among exhibition visitors.

The full product lineup is also on display-from the renowned planar models to electrostatic headphones-each distinguished by its unique character and engineering approach. Over the weekend, Dan Clark will personally introduce the new model and answer guests’ questions, so we recommend subscribing to our Instagram to stay updated on exclusive details. All Dan Clark Audio models are available at the link.

ZMF

The ZMF booth is always a special place at the exhibition. Here, you will find unique, handcrafted headphones made in the suburbs of Chicago. ZMF is known for its focus on materials and individualized approach: each pair is handmade from carefully selected types of wood, natural leather, magnesium alloys, resin, and other premium components. This philosophy not only achieves a unique sound signature but also creates a truly individual product, which has become a collector’s item for audiophiles worldwide. You can explore all ZMF models via the link.

RME

RME once again demonstrates its signature approach: a strict, conservative design and absolute perfectionism in the quality and usability of its equipment. No new products are being presented this time, but this is precisely the brand’s philosophy-why change anything when the equipment already performs flawlessly and enjoys the trust of professionals around the world? RME remains a benchmark of stability and reliability for those who value the highest sound quality and ease of use. All RME models are available for review via the link.

Final Audio

We were pleased to visit the Final Audio booth-a brand that has only just returned to our store’s lineup. The Japanese company is renowned for its attention to detail, which is evident in every Final Audio product: there is no pursuit of dry technical perfection, only a desire to make music sound vivid and deeply moving. Each pair of headphones undergoes individual tuning to reveal the listener’s emotions on an entirely new level. The entire range of Final Audio over-ear headphones is now available for audition at Dr.Head stores-we invite you to experience this unique approach in person!

Meze

The Romanian brand Meze has long won the hearts of audiophiles with its blend of engineering excellence and artistic sensibility. The company’s story began with a dream to create the perfect headphones for true music enthusiasts-and today, Meze is bringing this vision to life. At the exhibition, particular attention was given to the new Meze Poet-flagship planar magnetic headphones that promise to set a new standard in their class. More information is available via the link, where you can also place a pre-order.

WiiM

WiiM’s compact and affordable streamers continue to gain popularity among those who value simplicity and convenience in creating a home Hi-Fi system. These devices eliminate the need for cables and complex setups: connection takes just minutes, and the interface is intuitive even for beginners.
