Audiophilia Products of the Year 2025

Our writers are lucky to intersect with the gear we do. Even more fortunate to have the kit in our homes and review it for you. There are numerous requests for reviews that we do not have the manpower to cover. Imagine the hundreds of pieces we miss.

With that in mind, please consider our “winners” and rate accordingly. The equipment chosen is for a list we admire unreservedly. We hope you can listen to the kit in your system. We loved it in ours.

The equipment must have been fully reviewed for publication in Audiophilia in 2025, adhering strictly to our policies and procedures (no-show products, prototypes, and manufacturer visits).

This year's list is in manufacturer alphabetical order, with no allegiance to topology or type of equipment. As such, they are all Audiophilia Products of the Year 2025. Congratulations to all manufacturers.
