For 100 years now, we have strived to create high-quality audio products that delight discerning customers around the world. We have shaped the audio world and want to head into a future where pristine sound matters.
How it all began...
Eugen Beyer was fascinated by the moving images of the emerging cinema and wanted to bring these images to life with sound. He dedicated himself to the development and production of cinema loudspeakers and founded the company “Elektrotechnische Fabrik Eugen Beyer” in 1924. This laid the foundation for today's beyerdynamic GmbH & Co. KG.

Since the founding of beyerdynamic 100 years ago, we have continuously introduced innovative products in the areas of headphones, microphones and conference technology. They have significantly shaped our company history and the audio world. We would like to introduce you to a few highlights here.
The headphones that started it all: The first dynamic headphones, the DT 48, remained part of our portfolio until 2012.
Technologies
Our company history is characterised by the development and advancement of a wide variety of innovations. This sound expertise sets us apart – and thanks to it, we will also shape the audio world of tomorrow.
MADE IN GERMANY
Since the company was founded by Eugen Beyer in 1924, we have relied on the “Made in Germany” seal of quality. Even 100 years later, around 85% of the headphones and microphones we sell are manufactured in Germany, mostly by hand.
In our anniversary year, we would like to take you on a journey through the past 100 years in the beyerdynamic blog. We'll show you what moved us, how we have changed and developed as a company, and what still defines us and our products. Look forward to exciting insights into a century of beyerdynamic.
Over the course of our 100-year company history, we have designed a wide variety of advertising campaigns and imagery for our products. Their respective styles always reflect the current zeitgeist.
beyerdynamic is still 100% family-owned today. In 2023, Andreas Rapp took over the management of the company and set himself the goal of steering beyerdynamic into its anniversary year and beyond into a successful future.
With a lot of passion, we ultimately pursue one vision at beyerdynamic: to create the best audio solutions for our customers with innovative and long-lasting products.
