High End 2018 was held from 2018-05-11 to 2018-05-13 in Munich.  The premier audio show in the world, High End presents the whole range of consumer audio offerings, and is the main event for new product introductions.

This year High End was effectively three shows. The main show, High End 2018 at the MOC, CanJam Munich, which was held just around the corner at the Kohlebunker, and hifideluxe 2018, which was held at the Munich Marriott Hotel a short distance away.  The focus of CanJam Munich was headphones and personal audio, while hifideluxe 2018 was effectively an "overflow" from the main High End 2018.

High End is a huge show and it's difficult to cover it completely.  Through its pictures and comments this show report seeks to provide a view of the show and the products on display, and offer some impressions of what was heard.  It is supplemented by a list of other online show reports that hopefully together can offer a more complete impression of High End 2018.
