SOUND +IMAGE AWARDS 2019

It’s our equivalent of a ‘Greatest Hits’ compilation — chosen from a full year of reviewing, not only in magazine but in , and — plus on and a rush of late arrivals as we approach the Awards cut-off date for judging. Held every year since 1989, our Awards are judged on sound and/or image quality, feature sets, build quality, appearance, ease of use and ergonomics, all rolled up into a value-for-money equation. Our grand presentation evening, famed for its industry-leading levels of mingle tingle, was held this year at the unpithilynamed but beautifully-appointed Como Melbourne South Yarra MGallery by Sofitel, in a new cocktail-style event hosted by our Editor Jez (he on the left) and attended by the glitterati of the audio and AV industry for a formal but informal evening. We were entertained also by the wondrous Mary Webb, performing songs from her album ‘Love Like Planets’ (it’s on Spotify, but best on 180g double-vinyl!).

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbud
Bose's QuietComfort ‘Ultra’ Earbuds replaced the QuietComfort Earbuds II when they were barely over a year old. So what changed? The design is pretty much identical save for a couple of things: a tweak to the finish on the outer stems, a new metallic
