Audiofly Will Soar No More?
Australia's own headphones brand, Audiofly, appears to be out of business as consumers are left asking how to get support for their products.
Starting in Perth in 2012, Audiofly introduced award-winning In-Ear Monitors and high-quality consumer headphones and enjoyed much success overseas.
Locally, Audiofly was available in JB Hi-Fi and selected independent retailers and benefited from a brief local distribution agreement with Aqipa Australia from 2018 before Audiofly terminated that contract late in 2020.
Audiofly has replaced its website with a static landing page and deactivated all its social media pages. Repeated attempts by StereoNET to contact Audiofly have received no response, and staff email addresses have been disabled.
Audiofly headphones are still selling on Amazon, StoreDJ, Mannys Music and JB HiFi. It is unclear if support and warranty will be available for products still available for sale in the market.
This latest news is disappointing for an Australian brand that showed real strength globally, and at one stage, was the IEM of choice for eight seasons of the hit TV show, The Voice.
Audiofly has provided no statement or update on its current situation, instead just an email address for consumers via its website - support@audiofly.com

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
