A 'MUST' for everyone who loves music, vinyl records, and HiFi. Great people and the best HiFi manufacturers in the world present their products here in Hamburg.

The Northern German HiFi Days (NDHT) are among the most important events in the HiFi industry in Northern Germany. Every year, this fair attracts numerous music lovers, retailers, and manufacturers who exchange ideas about the latest developments in high-quality music playback. The event traditionally takes place in early February and provides a platform for presenting innovations, products, and trends related to HiFi.

The idea to establish the NDHT arose from the desire to create a regional alternative to the large HiFi fairs like the High End in Munich. The first edition of the Northern German HiFi Days took place at the Holiday Inn Hotel at the Elbbrücken in Hamburg. Due to growing interest and increasing visitor numbers, the venue was changed several times to provide enough space for exhibitors and visitors. In 2023, the fair moved to the Steigenberger Hotel Treudelberg in the north of Hamburg, which proved to be an extremelysuitable location.

A key feature of the NDHT is the family atmosphere that allows for direct exchange between visitors and exhibitors. Unlike large, seemingly anonymous fairs, this event offers the opportunity to gain deeper insights into technical details and developments through personal conversations with experts. Many exhibitors also use the fair to present new products to the public for the first time.

The diversity of brands and products represented makes the Northern German HiFi Days an important meeting point for everyone interested in high-quality audio technology. From headphones to turntables to high-end speakers, there is a wide range of devices to discover. In 2024, around 200 brands presented their products, and the event attracted about 4,500 visitors.

In addition to the exhibitions, workshops and expert lectures are also offered at the fair. These sessions give visitors the chance to deepen their knowledge and receive practical tips for handling audio devices. Topics range from the proper placement of speakers to innovative technologies like streaming solutions and room acoustics.

For the 2025 edition, another change of venue is planned. The fair will now take place at Le Méridien Hamburg directly on the Alster. This move reflects the continuous growth of the event and underscores its importance as one of the key events in the HiFi scene in Germany.

Over the years, the Northern German HiFi Days have established themselves as a fixed part of the HiFi community. They offer a unique opportunity to experience high-quality audio products up close, exchange ideas with like-minded people, and get inspired by the latest developments in music playback.
