AES Headphone Conference 2025

Meet KLIPPEL at the AES International Conference on Headphone Technology in Espoo, Finland!

On August 27^th–29^th, researchers and practitioners of head-worn hearing technology from around the world will meet for the AES Conference on Headphone Technology. Bringing together leading professionals, the conference aims to determine the future path for headphones, which have become a popular everyday tool. According to the AES event page, over 300 million headphones are expected to be sold this year alone. The growing popularity of smart and wearable devices has led to advancements in low-power processors and sensors. These developments are making it possible to create headphones with new features similar to those of hearing aids, which is enabling future convergence. Be part of the AES and help define tomorrow's headphones!

What You'll see in action at our demo desk:

Smart and Flexible Headphone Testing
Visit our demo desk to explore how Klippel’s Analyzer System delivers fast, reliable testing tailored to the unique challenges of headphone development and production. We’ll demonstrate advanced testing capabilities and share practical insights from real measurement data - helping you ensure consistent, high-quality headphones from prototype to production. → See how versatile testing solutions keep your products consistent, from R&D to mass production.

Fast Large Signal Identification (FLSI): 
Our newest innovation combines small and large signal parameter measurements into a single, fully automated module. Building on decades of nonlinear loudspeaker expertise, FLSI delivers the most accurate and comprehensive data available today. As a highlighting feature, the module offers a significantly shorter measurement time without compromising precision. → Experience firsthand how faster, deeper insights can accelerate your development cycle. 

Rocking Mode Analysis (RMA): 
Rocking modes in headphone drivers can lead to rub & buzz, reduced output, and product failures. Klippel’s RMA module accurately detects these issues utilizing laser measurements from the Scanning Vibrometer Set (SCN). Furthermore, it identifies the root cause (mass imbalance, stiffness variation, or force factor asymmetry) and pinpoints the physical location on the diaphragm. → Discover how precise root-cause analysis transforms your design and quality control. 

We look forward to meeting you in Espoo – see you there!
