New York, NY (January 6, 2025)—Here at Mix, we have a crack team of working professionals who actually test and use everything they review. When you read one of their reviews, you can be sure that the product was put through the wringer—not just simulated circumstances, but used as part of their everyday work lives in the studio or on the road.
The ultimate criteria every time a professional buys audio gear or software is that they want a product that will get the job done, and which will hold up under pressure when time is of the essence and ‘getting paid’ is at stake. That’s why we call our evaluations Real-World Reviews—they’re not re-written spec lists with a big ‘Thumbs Up’ at the end, assembled by someone who has never seen the product in real life. Our review team—honored professionals often with decades of experience under their belts—get hands-on and deep into the weeds with every piece of software and hardware that they cover.
Here, we look back at the various headphones (and one set of IEMs) that our reviewers tested in 2024.
