CANJAM LONDON 2026 PREVIEW
CanJam London never disappoints when it comes to sheer variety, and this year’s show is shaping up to be another belter for headphone and earphone fans. I’ll be heading down with a long shortlist and, no doubt, coming home with an even longer one.
IEMS APLENTY
Last year the show floor was positively heaving with in-ear monitors, and 2026 looks set to continue the trend. Letshuoer and Noble will both be there with their latest, Spirit Torino are always worth seeking out, and Nightjar Acoustics have been making waves of late. Linsoul will be bringing their usual smorgasbord of brands too, so expect plenty of ear tips to be swapped and plenty of rabbit holes to fall down.
OVER-EARS TO HEAR
On the full-size front, the big draw for me is the new HiFiMAN HE-6 Remastered – a modern take on a genuine planar legend, and one I’m itching to get on my head. Meze will be showing the new Arta, RAAL have the Magna Evo 1 on demo, and the Grell OAE2 should be well worth a listen too. And then there’s the ZMF room, which never fails to impress – I’m hoping to spend some quality time with the Tessidera while I’m there.
ELECTRONICS AND ACCESSORIES
Fosi arrive with quite a few new bits and bobs, and it’s always a pleasure to catch up with the folk from DDHiFi, Feliks Audio, FiiO, Luxsin and Topping when it comes to DACs, amps and everything in between. Accessory-wise you’re always well served at CanJam, with the likes of Orff Cables, Dekoni and DDHiFi on hand to sort your cables and pads.
SEE YOU AT CANJAM LONDON 2026
As ever, half the joy of CanJam is the people – familiar faces, new faces, and everyone united by an unhealthy obsession with strapping transducers to their heads. If you’re heading along, do say hello. I’ll be the one working my way methodically through the latest and greatest that the HeadFi world has to offer.
