1-Year of Sound and Vision (digital subscription) for $5

If you like to read audio magazines from the traditional publishers in digital format, for a limited time you can get a 1-year subscription to Sound and Vision (11 issues) for $5 total. This is through the Zinio service, you can read the magazine with a browser or using their iOS/Android/Windows apps.

PS: dedicated headphone magazines don’t seem to be a thing in the West, the annual guide by Innerfidelity’s parent company did not return last year, while the translated-to-English version of Japan’s Mook did not return either (or I can’t find it). I have both. The IF one was more of a gallery with short articles, but the Japanese magazine had some really nice articles (think “deep cuts” for enthusiasts) in the back and lots of headphone content and mini-reviews with sound signature spider-web diagrams (or whatever they are called). I have both magazines, I am planning to review them both, they are on the to-do list which sadly keeps getting longer 🙂
