IFA Berlin 2026 runs from September 4 to 8 at Messe Berlin. Its Audio area covers headphones, speakers, soundbars and home cinema, but sound technology also appears throughout television, gaming, smart-home and creator-product halls.
Unlike a specialist high-end show, IFA is centred on mainstream retail and connected domestic devices. Wireless, spatial audio, voice assistance, streaming, podcasting and AI processing can be seen as parts of multi-purpose products rather than isolated demonstrations.
IFA Global Markets, from September 5 to 7, provides a B2B layer for OEM, ODM, components and manufacturing. That makes it possible to follow drivers, amplifiers, radio modules, DSP, testing and logistics alongside the finished products they enable.
