Scandinavian Lifestyle Audio Brand MONDO Makes Official U.S. and Latin American Debut at CES 2026, Expanding with a Culture-Led Approach to Sound
Founded in Sweden and shaped by the country’s long-standing reputation for sound innovation, MONDO operates at the intersection of audio technology, design, and music. The company’s collection of award-winning headphones, speakers, and modular audio accessories is built on principles commonly associated with Scandinavian design — simplicity, functionality, and attention to detail. They’re designed for people who live in sound, emphasizing adaptability and personal expression over trend-driven aesthetics.
Products range from $69–$399 USD, with accessories priced $15–$35 USD, and are available now at www.mondosound.com.
The CES debut marks a major step in MONDO’s global expansion, bringing its Scandinavian approach to sound into closer dialogue with contemporary music culture across the Americas. The brand prioritizes local creative ecosystems and works directly with artists and music communities to inform both its presence and product development. Rather than relying on short-term endorsements, the brand positions itself as a participant in ongoing creative processes, where artists and audiences engage with products through real-world use.
A Collaboration Model Based on Long-Term Creative Exchange
MONDO’s expansion follows a collaboration model that favours sustained relationships over traditional influencer marketing. Previous initiatives include long-term creative work in China, where the brand partnered with artist NINEONE and local creative communities to develop projects rooted in shared practice rather than campaign-based visibility.
That same approach is now extending to the U.S. and Latin America through an organic relationship with Argentine producer Bizarrap. According to the company, the connection began through Bizarrap’s independent use of MONDO products and evolved into an ongoing creative exchange focused on sound quality and design detail.
Bizarrap and MONDO: From Use to Co-Creation
Bizarrap, one of the most influential figures in contemporary Latin music, has built his career around production-driven creativity rather than traditional artist branding. His involvement with MONDO reflects that ethos, emphasizing practical collaboration over formal endorsement.
The exchange has already begun to influence product development, including work on a DJ-inspired headphone being developed jointly with MONDO’s design team. An early preview of the product is planned for 2026.
CES as a Starting Point
MONDO’s U.S. debut at CES marks the start of its broader regional expansion. From there, MONDO plans to grow across the U.S. and Latin America through a combination of artist-led initiatives, limited releases, community-based projects, and selected retail partnerships.
During CES week, Bizarrap will perform an invite-only show at Hakkasan Studio in Las Vegas for a limited audience, marking MONDO’s first official activation in the U.S. and signaling the brand’s intention to build its presence through music-driven experiences rather than traditional launches. Media are encouraged toRSVP for this special event, as further brand details will be unveiled.
New Products at CES: Designed to Move With You
At CES 2026, MONDO is showcasing its portfolio of innovative audio products, including new active noise-canceling (ANC) headphones and a new compact speaker designed for everyday life.
Built on Swedish audio innovation and award-winning design, MONDO products are intuitive, durable, and visually confident without being loud. Modular elements allow users to personalize both sound (via app) and visual expression through exchangeable pads, accessories, and limited editions.
“The U.S. and Latin America are where music, identity, and design intersect most powerfully right now,” said Johan Wahlbäck, CEO of MONDO. “With strong regional partners and creators who genuinely live in sound, we’re building MONDO as a long-term cultural brand, not a short-term product launch.”
