Editor's note: we have since unveiled our What Hi-Fi? Awards 2024 Product of the Year and special category winners. Use the attached link to find out which brands and products earned this year's top prize!

After months of testing our team of hi-fi and home cinema experts has revealed the winners for the hallowed What Hi-Fi? Awards 2024.

Our Awards cover 25 categories, ranging from surprisingly affordable standmount speakers to a cutting-edge 8K TV. Every product has been thoroughly reviewed by our team of hi-fi and home cinema experts in our dedicated viewing and listening rooms.

Our team runs every product through a series of comparative checks, running them directly against rivals and step-up and down options, to make sure they are the best option in their price category.

This is the same rigour we put into our reviewing all year round – and the key reason the What Hi-Fi? Awards are a staple entry in any hi-fi and home cinema fans’ calendar.

With that in mind you can use the links below to see all our Best Buy winners.

This, though, is just the start! Our coveted Product of the Year Awards are chosen from all the Best Buy winners in each category. They are revealed at our annual Awards ceremony, being held this year on Thursday 14th November.

At this gala event, we will also reveal the winners of our five special Awards – for Outstanding Contribution to the industry, our Innovation of the Year, Temptation, and (the one award for which we cede responsibility) our Readers’ Award, voted for by readers of whathifi.com. Finally, there is also the latest entrant into What Hi-Fi?’s Hall of Fame.

While you wait for the event, make sure to get involved in the discussion on our social media channels and forums, where you can debate the merits of our choices and share your favourite products of the year.

Are you a member of the hi-fi or AV industry? You can buy seats for the black-tie Awards event here.
