Astell&Kern is driven by a simple aim: to deliver music as it was meant to be heard - faithful to the original recording and performance. With a deep respect for music and a commitment to continuous innovation, the brand has become a benchmark in high-resolution audio.
From portable players and earphones to speakers, Astell&Kern designs precision audio products that offer both technical excellence and emotional impact. Every detail is crafted to preserve the integrity of the original sound, offering an experience for those who value authenticity over compromise.
Built with care and creativity, Astell&Kern products are designed to connect - not just with the ear, but with the heart.
Astell&Kern is a high-end audio brand focused on delivering true high-resolution sound. The name combines the Greek word Astell (“star”) and the German Kern (“core”), reflecting the company’s aim to stay at the heart of pure, unaltered audio.
At the centre of Astell&Kern’s technology is its proprietary TERATON ALPHA system - a suite of patented technologies designed to minimise noise, reduce distortion during amplification, and eliminate interference from the audio interface. The result is sound reproduction that gets as close as possible to the original recording.
Since launching its first product in 2012, Astell&Kern has earned a reputation for combining technical innovation with distinctive design and precision engineering. The brand is recognised for its attention to the smallest sonic details, and its products are trusted by discerning listeners who value authentic sound and exquisite styling.
