Out of the 20-plus years of reviewing experience I have under my belt, I can safely say that around 97 per cent of it has happened on land, either locked in one of our test rooms, or wandering local streets and jumping on and off public transport while testing noise-cancelling headphones.
There is also perhaps 2.9 per cent that has happened on four wheels. When the chance arises, I take the odd in-car sound system for a spin and have been lucky enough to have tested some of the best systems the market has to offer from the likes of Bentley, BMW and Porsche, to name but three.
