Just by looking at the list of participating brands, we could feel the incredible scale and presence of the exhibition.

This is the actual exhibition layout and booth locations, showing the overall scale of the event.

Astell&Kern participated together with our China distributor, DeFan, at Booth 168–170.
Although pictures cannot fully deliver the atmosphere of the venue, the number of visitors from the entrance clearly showed the impressive scale of the Chinese market.

Two experienced members from Astell&Kern HQ Korea also joined the exhibition to support the event. They introduced the newly launched PD20 and explained our products directly to visitors, making the listening experience more enjoyable.
(If you look carefully, you may be able to find someone who looks like they are from Korea.)

Since PD20 had not officially launched yet, many customers were not familiar with the product. We introduced how to use PD20, its new features, and the differences compared to previous models.

PD20 attracted significant attention from users with its unique concept, including individual hearing tests and personalized sound settings.

After introducing the product features and usage to local users, visitors had the opportunity to experience and test the products directly. Many different users visited and filled the Astell&Kern booth throughout the exhibition.

The 10th Shanghai Headphones Expo 2026 was another valuable opportunity for Astell&Kern to showcase our latest products and existing lineup, while once again confirming the strong passion and support from Chinese audio fans.
