HI-FI PRODUCTS OF THE YEAR

EISA, the Expert Imaging and Sound Association, is an organization that represents 58 of the most respected special-interest publications and websites from 29 countries that cover Hi-Fi, Home Theater Video, Home Theater Audio, Photography, Mobile Devices, and In-Car Electronics. Every year EISA’s Expert Group members, including editors from this publication, test a very wide range of new products from their field of expertise before comparing results and voting to decide on the cream of every product category.

To win an EISA award, products must undergo a comprehensive, multistep judging process, and many still fall by the wayside. EISA’s product evaluations begin in the first few months of the year and run through to early July, with EISA’s webinar program putting brands and their latest technologies in front of the Association’s expert editorial audience. Over 50 brand webinars were hosted by EISA this year and over 100 new—often very new—products were shipped between member countries. In-depth testing and judging extended over many months, fueling lengthy and highly informed discussions. Finally, after all the testing, EISA’s democratic voting process establishes a consensus of excellence that ultimately determines the winning products.
