In 2022, the consumer division (headphones, soundbars) was sold to Swiss hearing aid group Sonova and now operates as Sonova Consumer Hearing under the Sennheiser brand. The professional business remains with Sennheiser electronic GmbH & Co. KG.

Professional microphones and conference systems continue to be manufactured at the Wedemark (Germany) and Tullamore (Ireland) sites. Consumer headphones (under Sonova license) are partly produced in Asia, but development and design continue in Germany. Sennheiser electronic remains a German family business.
What distinguishes Sennheiser from Sony or Bose? +
Sennheiser has European roots and a long tradition in professional audio technology (broadcast, stage, conference). Sony and Bose are more broadly positioned in consumer electronics.
