CES 2026 (Las Vegas, NV) 01-06-26 — In 2026, Onkyo® proudly celebrates its 80th anniversary—eight decades of engineering excellence, innovation, and a passion for elevating the human experience through sound. Since 1946, Onkyo has stood as a global leader in premium consumer electronics. Today, we present a snapshot of the New Onkyo—the rebirth of an iconic and legendary brand advancing its next-generation products. This bold new vision honors Onkyo heritage while confidently charting the path forward.
A Legacy Rooted in Craftsmanship
Onkyo began in 1946, when Takeshi Godai founded the Osaka Denki Onkyo Company with a mission to elevate Japanese craftsmanship and bring music to life. Built on precision, creativity, and uncompromising sound quality, the brand grew steadily stronger. Twenty-five years later, he renamed the company simply Onkyo—meaning “sound harmony” reflecting his belief that audio should move the heart as well as the ear. That philosophy continues to guide the brand today.
A Rebirth for the Modern Listener
While Onkyo is renowned worldwide for its home theater AV receivers, the company’s ambitions now reach far beyond its iconic category. As the brand enters its 80th year, it is redefining its identity and product strategy to meet the expectations of both everyday listeners and high-end audio enthusiasts.
At CES 2026, Onkyo offers a first look at an iconic brand boldly reimagined—where decades of craftsmanship meet future-ready technologies, seamless connectivity, and a strikingly modern, sleek design. New limited anniversary editions, bold new concepts, global marketing initiatives, technology partnerships, and more usher in this evolution, reflecting Onkyo’s commitment to innovation, minimalism, and delivering emotionally engaging, meaningful sound experiences.
A Horizon of Innovation
Onkyo is investing in next-generation technologies and expanding audio ecosystems that reinforce its leadership in global home entertainment. The company’s forward-looking vision spans new product categories, deeper technology partnerships, and advanced engineering initiatives—paving the way for immersive, connected audio experiences. Entering this new era, Onkyo is positioned to honor its legacy while defining the next chapter of sound for generations to come.
"Onkyo’s 80th anniversary is not just a milestone—it’s a declaration of our future," said Vinny Bonacorsi, Chief Operating Officer. "We celebrate the craftsmanship and passion that shaped our first eight decades while laying a bold foundation for the next generation of listeners. Our goal is simple: to create sound experiences people don’t just hear—they feel, love, and remember."
Looking Ahead
From legendary craftsmanship to advanced streaming and immersive audio, the New Onkyo delivers experiences that inspire, connect, and move. With a heritage built on excellence, Onkyo continues to lead the next era of sound for generations to come.
