I’m a resident reviews writer here at TechRadar, and for the last year and a half audio has been my bread and butter. I’ve tested dozens of headphones, earbuds, Bluetooth speakers, and even soundbars here, and even after writing hundreds of articles I still get a real kick out of unboxing a new audio product, connecting it up, and indulging – sometimes overindulging – in a nice, long listening session.
When testing new audio tech, I always play through the TechRadar testing playlist, which is full of songs from a bunch of different genres, and is designed to highlight the capabilities – or lack thereof – of a piece of audio equipment. But as well as bumping this, I have a few tracks of my own that I regularly use for testing, in order to judge everything from bass response, through dynamics, to instrument separation.
