Fender Audio CES 2026 will mark a major expansion for the legendary music brand as it steps deeper into consumer electronics. At this year’s CES in Las Vegas, Fender is set to unveil a new range of Bluetooth speakers and headphones designed to combine loud performance, efficiency, and modern connectivity features.
Fender Audio CES 2026 Showcases ELIE Bluetooth Speakers
One of the headline announcements at Fender Audio CES 2026 is the ELIE Bluetooth speaker series, short for Extremely Loud Infinitely Expressive. The lineup includes two models, the E6 and the larger E12, both developed under a licensing partnership with RiffSound.
The ELIE speakers use advanced digital signal processing and system-on-a-chip technology to boost volume output while maintaining power efficiency. Fender says this approach allows the speakers to deliver louder sound without sacrificing battery performance.
Each ELIE speaker supports up to four simultaneous audio inputs. These include Bluetooth streaming, wired XLR or quarter-inch inputs, and two additional wireless channels when paired with compatible Fender Audio accessories. Users can also connect two ELIE speakers together to create a stereo setup for wider sound coverage.
Fender Audio CES 2026 Introduces Modular MIX Headphones
Fender Audio CES will also feature the launch of MIX headphones, a modular wireless headset aimed at users who want flexibility in both sound and style. The headphones ship with a USB-C transmitter that supports lossless audio, low-latency playback, and Auracast transmission modes.
The MIX headphones are equipped with 40mm graphene drivers and active noise cancellation. Fender says they can operate in both wired and wireless modes and deliver up to 100 hours of battery life, positioning them among the longest-lasting wireless headphones announced so far.
While Fender has not yet detailed how the modular design will work in practice, more information is expected during hands-on demonstrations at CES.
Availability and CES 2026 Outlook
Pricing and release dates for the ELIE speakers and MIX headphones have not been announced. Fender Audio CES 2026 will provide the first public look at these products, with additional details likely to follow after the show.
With these launches, Fender Audio CES signals the brand’s intent to translate its musical heritage into modern consumer audio products built for today’s wireless and multi-device world.
