June 4–7, 2026
HIGH END Vienna 2026,
the world’s premier audio exhibition,
took place at ACV International Conference Center in
Vienna, Austria.
Centered on the theme
"The Power of Music",
the event covers 30,000 square meters,
bringing together more than 600 exhibitors and 1,000 brands worldwide.
It drew over 20,000 professional visitors and music lovers from more than 40 countries.
This marks the first edition of HIGH END in Vienna,
as well as Lingke Audio’s global debut.
Over the four days,
Lingke presented six products from three core series:
Life Series, Listening Series and Starry Series,
showcasing the strength of Chinese audio craftsmanship in the music capital.
On the opening day,
Jakob Jespersen,
Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) of Lingke Audio,
unveiled the brand-new flagship of the Listening Series —
Listening T8 (Wind Rising),
an active bookshelf loudspeaker.
This is the world premiere of T8,
representing Lingke Audio’s answer to the global high-end market with the "Wireless Hi-Fi" concept.
Thanks to multiple in-depth auditions during the show,
T8 became the spotlight of the booth.
Its solid soundstage and tight,
resilient bass transported audiences right into a professional recording studio.
A German audiophile commented:
"I’m not just listening to a speaker; I’m immersed in the energy of music."
A European distributor noted:
"Weighing only 13 kilograms, it delivers exceptional control performance, which has completely changed my impression of Chinese audio brands."
Every product displayed its distinctive highlights.
Listening T5 MKII supports full remote control for effortless operation.
Life A5 PLUS draws crowds across Europe with its exquisite crystal texture.
Starry M5 MKII features minimalist interaction for a pure outdoor audio experience,
while Starry M3 stands out among young visitors with its vibrant colors and portable build.

From the global launch of T8 and the display of the full product lineup,
to recognition from professional critics and praise from casual music lovers —
when exquisite craftsmanship blends with musical emotion,
Chinese audio craftsmanship resonates with audiences across the globe.
