Take it from someone who records music: The world of high-end audio is often tainted with bullshit. Precious (and often snake-oily) materials and terms are exploited to sell products for inflated prices. Faux-science is deployed to trick you into thinking you need overpriced accessories like 2-inch-thick speaker cables.
Once you start shopping for gear that approaches the high three or low four figures, it s tough to distinguish what s good from what s simply good-looking. Never fear! I ve spent thousands of hours listening to music in my acoustically treated home studio through many of the most loved high-end headphones, speakers, and amps on the market. Below you ll find my current favorites, and some information about what each item does.

As someone whoâs worked from home since long before the pandemic, having great sound at your desk can make the workday a lot more enjoyable. But if you, like me, have a small desk, you probably donât want giant speakers taking up all your precious real estate.
Fret not, for Iâm here to tell you you can get great sound from small speakers too. But to get the most bang for your buck, I make one important recommendation: consider buying studio monitors instead of mainstream or âhi-fiâ speakers.
