Headway Music Audio is a British acoustic specialist based in Oxfordshire, England, founded in 2006 by John Littler as a continuation of his earlier Headway Electronics partnership, which originated in 1995. The company designs and manufactures pickups, preamps, and amplifiers tailored for acoustic stringed instruments — guitars, violins, violas, cellos, mandolins, upright bass, and ukuleles — rather than the electric gear more commonly associated with the word "amplification."

The product line centers on piezo-based pickup systems and portable acoustic preamps. Notable offerings include "The Band" violin-family pickup (originally introduced in 2001), the HE5 active under-saddle guitar pickup built around a 360-degree coaxial sensing cable, and the EDB-1 and EDB-2 preamp/DI boxes (including the EDB-2 H.E with harmonic enhancer and the valve-circuit EDB-2 VAP). The company also produces the Shire King line of acoustic amplifiers and the Everlux range of acoustic guitar strings.

Headway is regarded as one of the UK's leading suppliers of pickup systems to hand-made and workshop luthiers, with particular reach among classical and folk string players who need natural-sounding amplification for stage work. Their preamps have developed a reputation in the upright bass and acoustic guitar communities for flexible EQ, variable input impedance, and effective feedback control.

Headway has 5 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Steel-string Acoustic Guitars, Parts, and Electric Basses. Their gear is featured by 3 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Funk / Soul. Notable users include Osamuraisan, Margarette Hiroi, and Phum Viphurit.
