From March 7 to 8, 2026, CanJam NYC 2026—North America’s largest headphone audio exhibition—was held at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square, New York.

Visitors entered the main exhibition space, the Broadway Ballroom, after passing the Head-Fi desk located in the 6th floor lobby.

As expected from the largest headphone show in North America, both the lobby and the entrance to the main ballroom were already bustling with attendees from early in the day.

Astell&Kern welcomed visitors at Booth F1-3 inside the Broadway Ballroom.

The Astell&Kern booth, fully set up and ready for the show, showcased the brand’s latest innovations.
The key highlights of this exhibition were the newly launched next-generation player PD20 and the SP4000 Copper model.

The SP4000 lineup—Silver, Black, and Copper—was displayed side by side, allowing visitors to explore each model firsthand.
In addition, information and on-site registration for the ‘Astell&Kern User Club,’ sponsored by Astell&Kern, were also available at the booth.

The PD20 introduced its unique Personal Sound concept, featuring an integrated hearing test function along with intuitive analog-style controls.
To ensure an optimal listening experience within the exhibition environment, noise-isolating headsets were provided for attendees.

The SP4000 Copper was also set up for open listening, allowing visitors to freely experience its sound with a variety of headphones and IEMs, including Stella, Luna, and XIO.

Astell&Kern’s DAC lineup, including the HC5, also drew strong interest, with many visitors stopping by to experience them firsthand.

From the very first day of the exhibition, the Astell&Kern booth was filled with a constant stream of visitors, making it difficult to find an empty seat.

In particular, the newly unveiled PD20’s Personal Sound feature and the distinctive sound of the SP4000 Copper drew significant attention and excitement from attendees. Audio enthusiasts of diverse nationalities and age groups gathered at the booth, creating a vibrant and energetic atmosphere throughout the event.

CanJam NYC 2026 concluded successfully with the participation of numerous global audio brands.

Visitors had the opportunity to freely explore booths across the exhibition hall, experiencing the latest trends in personal audio firsthand.

CanJam NYC 2026 was a meaningful event that once again highlighted the passion of audio enthusiasts around the world, alongside Astell&Kern’s innovative new products.
