Even better, you don’t need oodles of experience to apply. All we ask is that you have a keen interest in the subject, a love of listening to music at the best possible quality, and a solid grasp of the written word.

What would you be doing day to day? Some days you’ll be listening to products in our dedicated listening rooms, located near Reading (this role is for UK-based applicants only, sadly). On other days, you might be travelling to a press event or writing a feature. You’ll also help grow our social media channels, send newsletters, and plenty more besides.

If this sounds like the job for you – and you’re passionate about hi-fi and audio products, hearing your music at its best and have great writing skills – be sure to send us your application via the attached job advert.
