At the 2025 High End Munich, we experienced more than a celebration of cutting-edge audio technology—we shared a heartfelt encounter that traveled over 500 kilometers and reminded us why we do this. It was a story not just about products, but about trust.
High End Munich 2025
As one of the world's most influential audio exhibitions since its founding in 1982, High End Munich continues to set the benchmark for acoustic innovation. This year's event took place at the expansive MOC Event Center, covering over 80,000 square meters and welcoming 754 exhibitors, including industry giants like Bowers& Wilkins and McIntosh.
This marked our second time exhibiting, and we were proud to showcase our first-ever i5 open-back planar magnetic headphones and the SP601 passive bookshelf speakers at Booth H1, C03/ E01.
A Bustling Exhibition Hall
The event drew over 22,000 visitors, with long lines of audio enthusiasts gathering early each day to be among the first to enter. This year's show reached new heights in both global recognition and exhibitor scale.
Product Showcases & On-Site Demos
We brought a full lineup of headphone amps and our headline products—the i5 headphones and SP601 speakers. The i5, in particular, became a show favorite. International influencers, audiophiles, and long-time supporters queued to test them in person.
Some of these guests had already backed the i5 on Kickstarter and made a special trip just to experience the headphones before launch. Their reactions said it all: the sound quality exceeded expectations, and the value was instantly clear.
David from Berlin: A Story that Touched Us Deeply
Among the many visitors, one encounter stood out.
David, an audiophile from Berlin, had long been interacting with us online. For this show, he went the extra mile—literally. He departed from Berlin at 3:00 AM and drove over 500 kilometers to meet our team in person at the Munich venue.
At the booth, David had a heartfelt conversation with our founder Ryan, where he shared sketches of product ideas and improvements he had drawn by hand—notes and visions he had dreamed up as a passionate fan of our work.

“Like you,” David said, “I try to give and share love and enthusiasm with those who hold the same values.”
Why This Matters
To us, David's sketches—imperfect lines and all—are just as valuable as the most sophisticated equipment at the show. They are a symbol of meaningful dialogue, trust, and mutual dedication between creators and users.
At Fosi Audio, we believe that great products are not just about great sound. They are about connection. About listening to users. About creating something together.
That's what fuels our journey—and why we will keep pushing forward, with our community at the heart of everything we do.
