“High-end audio accessories comprise the most interesting category, if only because there are such profound differences in price and size and technology among the individual products therein: signal cables, power cords and conditioners, furniture, marking pens, signal generators, subminiature gamelan bells, cable risers . . . and headphones—a category that threatened to dominate last year’s voting. But this year there’s only one pair of ‘phones among the finalists, and it didn’t quite top the list. First place for 2015 is split between two products, both aimed squarely at computer-audio enthusiasts.” —— stereophile.com
