The Teufel brand
Sound is the essence. How we got there is what makes us special.
Story
Berlin, 1979
The First Step is Easy
Berlin, 1979. A city in transition, full of creative personalities and musical experimentation from New Wave and Punk to Techno. What the rest of the world considered settled law, Berlin put to question. And the same went for the idea that HIFI should be bulky, expensive, and complicated. Our DIY speaker kits stood in firm opposition to that, making great sound easy and affordable.
A new idea. The Teufel brand was born.
1985
Great Sound is just a Click Away
Way back in 1985, before most people had even heard of the Internet, we took our first order by email. And into the present day, online shopping continues to offer our customers many advantages. Test your speakers from the comfort of your home to see how they fit your favorite music genres and room acoustics.
Your advantages with Teufel
1990
The Loud Old Days
Not everyone can find the free time to build a speaker from a DIY kit. That was why we started offering readymade speakers in 1990. And what speakers they were. The M 200 and M 300 were a loud, brash statement of our competency in the classical stereo speaker field.
Make way for our best stereo speakers
1996
Groooaaarrr!
The call of the Tyrannosaurus was never this real before. Because in 1996, Teufel released the Theater 8, Germany’s first THX-certified home cinema system. Even today, Teufel is Europe’s leading producer of THX home cinema systems.

See it, Want it, Buy it
Our website was one of the first in any industry in Germany. And our direct-to-consumer model has many exciting advantages to offer you: an extraordinary price to audio performance ratio, and direct contact with us. That in turn gave us the opportunity to incorporate customer feedback into our new products. Fun fact: we already offered an 8-week return policy back then.

Let the Games Begin
What makes a sound system good for stereo or home cinema use are the same things that make for great gaming. Teufel’s precise high-power sound provides the immersion and pinpoint audio perception that gamers demand from their audio systems. This year, Teufel started offering gaming systems under the names CONCEPT E Magnum and CONCEPT C.

True Love From
Ear to Ear

Speakers that
Network
Your Wi-Fi network is a musical wizard. Raumfeld technology made it possible to send lossless audio signals to multiple speakers on the same network, even in different rooms. Teufel acquired the Raumfeld brand and expanded our offer and audio profile. This also marked our entry into the Dutch, Polish, French, and Swedish Markets.
These speakers are super smart
2014
Because We Care
In 2014, we opened our first store in the Bikini Berlin shopping complex, a location once home to West-Berlin nightclub Linientreu, which was frequented by the likes of David Bowie. Our over 800 m² of sales floor is packed full of listening rooms, home theater testing spaces, and everything else from the world of Teufel. Additional stores in Leipzig, Stuttgart, Essen, Cologne, and Vienna were to follow.

The Birth of an Icon
You wanted it, and you got it: the largest Bluetooth speaker ever made at the time. With the ROCKSTER speaker, we made our debut in the portable Bluetooth speaker market. And because our fans loved the speaker so much, a whole range of ROCKSTER speakers came next.

Dynamore®
Rounding it Out
We developed Dynamore® technology in-house at our Berlin office to turn little Bluetooth speakers into whole HIFI sets. We also started incorporating other advanced technologies such as Dolby Atmost, Bluetooth aptX™ HD and adaptive ANC into our products.

Ultra loud, super high power. Also in this year, our very first completely wireless in-ear headphones, the AIRY TRUE WIRELESS rose to top seller status.
