What Makes Music Matters So Special?

For the first time since 2019, ListenUp is bringing back one of our favorite traditions, a two-night celebration of music, high-performance audio, and the incredible brands that make it all possible.

Music Matters isn't a trade show or a typical retail event. It's an immersive evening designed for anyone who loves music, whether you've been building hi-fi systems for decades or you're just beginning your audio journey.

Throughout the evening, you'll experience live demonstrations, discover new products, meet manufacturer representatives, and hear music reproduced on some of the finest audio systems in the world.

Seven Listening Rooms. One Incredible Night.

Your ticket gives you access to an entire showroom filled with unique listening experiences.

Explore seven dedicated hi-fi rooms, each featuring carefully curated systems from legendary brands including:

• McIntosh
• Sonus faber
• Bowers & Wilkins
• KEF
• MOON by Simaudio
• Advance Paris
• Marantz
• Focal
• SVS
• Luxman
• Eversolo
• NAD
• REL
• Bluesound
  
• AudioQuest
• iFi Audio
• Shanling
• Audeze
• Meze
• IsoAcoustics
• Cambridge Audio
• Qobuz

Each room offers a different perspective on high-performance audio, allowing you to compare speakers, amplifiers, streamers, and source components throughout the evening.

More Than Just Hi-Fi

In addition to our demonstration rooms, we've created several unique experiences throughout the showroom.

Personal Audio Lounge

Compare premium headphones, headphone amplifiers, DACs, and accessories from brands like Audeze, Meze, iFi Audio, and more.

Vinyl Record Marketplace

Whether you're hunting for rare pressings or adding to your everyday collection, you'll want to leave plenty of time to browse.

Immersive Theater Experience

Step into our newly renovated theater and experience immersive audio the way it was meant to be heard.

Come Hungry

Every attendee receives a custom Music Matters koozie and complimentary food ticket to be redeemed at one of our featured food trucks. Grab dinner, meet fellow music lovers, and spend the evening exploring the best in high-performance audio.

New Products. Exclusive Giveaways.

Many of our manufacturing partners will be unveiling exciting new products throughout the event, giving attendees an opportunity to experience the latest innovations before they become widely available.

Every guest will also be automatically entered into our Music Matters raffle. We'll have dozens of giveaway items from AudioQuest, iFi Audio, IsoAcoustics, Cambridge Audio and more.
