The What Hi-Fi? Awards began in 1983 and have recognised the very best audio and video tech every year since. With the very best editors in the market scrutinising every product detail and using the highest calibre testing rooms, these Awards ensure the most stringent badge of approval. 
 
Existing five-star products are considered automatically for the Awards. Winning a What Hi-Fi? Award is a hugely important accolade, recognised all over the world, and significantly boosts product sales. Winners also benefit from additional commercial and editorial Awards promotion activity, both in print and online.

Our 2025 awards will return to the Royal Lancaster in London on 13th November, 2025. 
 
Entries for this year's awards will open on Tuesday 17th June and close on Wednesday 13th August at 6pm.
