Shopping for audio gear sucks. You read one review that says Sony, another says Bose, then you fall into a Reddit rabbit hole with 400 comments and zero consensus.
We built SonRank to fix that. This site covers wireless earbuds, headphones, soundbars, Bluetooth speakers, and home theater systems. Every product gets scored using the same formula: critic reviews from 2,989 publications, real Reddit sentiment, and verified Amazon ratings.
One score. No sponsors. No free samples. Just the math.

From Reddit
The Problem We Solve
Real frustrations from real Redditors. These are the comments that inspired us to build SonRank.
I
InfinityByTen r/Earbuds
"I'm completely lost on this too. I have no clue. Technics are the talk of the town, but then there's Sony and Bose and a hundred other options. Every review says something different."
M
Mr_wekah_wekah r/Earbuds
"Ngl I'm in the same situation rn. I've watched countless reviews on YouTube but still haven't decided on what to get, and it's driving me nuts."
B
Bitrik r/Earbuds
"I'm in the market for new earbuds. After scanning what seems like hundreds of posts, this makes the information and opinions of people so much easier to digest."
P
P_Devil r/headphones
"The Verge and now Rtings. It was bad enough when Rtings gave people only so many views. Now it's all paywalled? No thanks."
T
TelaKENesis r/headphones
"Really sucks because they used to put so much care into their reviews and was an amazing way to compare stuff. To just lock it all away is insane."
H
Horse_Plane r/Earbuds
"Agreed it's a nightmare, just like condiments and soda we have so many versions of everything. Who needs 50 variants of ketchup largely made of the same ingredients, some even made by the same companies."
