A five-star rating might be the holy grail when it comes to What Hi-Fi? reviews, but I'll let you in on a secret: we all use four-star products in our homes and in our daily lives. And not just when no one's looking.
While a five-star rating means the product (whether a turntable, wireless earbuds, speakers, amplifier or TV) is an exceptional performer for the price, not all five-star products are the same. And the very same goes for four-star products. While that means they may not be the all-rounder at the price point that their five-star rivals are, they're not far off the mark. There is always a specific feature, a quirk or a sound profile that might suit you perfectly for what you are looking for in a product.
