New York, NY – May 9, 2025 – Roon, the innovative music experience praised by music lovers, is celebrating its 10th anniversary this month. What began in 2015 as a specialized platform for audiophiles has evolved into an essential companion for music enthusiasts worldwide, all while staying true to its founding vision of delivering the ultimate immersive experience for passionate collectors and listeners.
Throughout its journey, Roon has delivered innovations that have fundamentally transformed how its customers engage with music. From its pioneering RAAT streaming protocol to the widely respected Roon Ready device ecosystem, advanced sound processing, and the liberating Roon ARC mobile app, each advancement has enriched the listeners’ connection to music. This record of ingenuity led to Harman International’s acquisition of Roon in 2023, allowing the company to strengthen its commitment to customers and accelerate technological advancements. Recent developments under Harman include the premium Nucleus One and Titan hardware products, Roon Ready Relay vinyl playback, and the community-driven OPRA headphone optimization tool.
“For ten years, our mission has been to create the most engaging way to explore, discover, and listen to music,” said Enno Vandermeer, Co-Founder of Roon Labs. “What began as a passion project has grown into a platform trusted by hundreds of thousands of music enthusiasts all over the world. As we celebrate this milestone, we’re more dedicated than ever to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in connecting people with the music they love.”
