“No other company delivers as many innovative and affordable products as we do”: Behringer hits back at “vapourware” critics following NAMM 2025 announcementEarlier this week, Behringer made headlines after announcing its return to the NAMM show in 2025 after a decade-long absence.
Amidst the celebration, the German manufacturer also took the opportunity to hit back at critics who have labeled it a “vapourware” company — suggesting that it produces more hype than actual products. For context, “Vapourware” is a term that refers to software or hardware that has been advertised but is not yet available or never actually manufactured at all.

In a new statement, Behringer stressed its prolific output, claiming to be one of the most innovative and affordable manufacturers in the music gear industry. It also revealed plans to launch “another 6 to 8 groundbreaking products” before the end of the year.
“Do you remember the comments some people made not so long ago? They said, ‘Behringer only makes vaporware.’ Well, time has certainly proven otherwise,” states the firm.
“Today, Behringer stands as one of the most prolific manufacturers in the industry. No other company delivers as many innovative and affordable products as we do. This year alone, we’ve brought numerous exciting instruments to market, and the best is yet to come.”
“At Behringer, we’re driven by our love for creating exceptional instruments and making them accessible to everyone, no matter their budget or background. This passion fuels everything we do.”
The post continues: “Behringer – the ‘vaporware company’? Maybe. But only if vaporware means delivering more music-making tools than anyone else. Stay tuned. The journey has begun.”
