WHF has taken the cue from Henry Ford, you can review any smart phone as long as it is an Apple. They seem to be Android blind.
I don't really pay much attention to WHF reviews any more but these forums are fun and long may it continue! 😏 👍

Surely, you do pay attention to WHF reviews though because you clearly like what WHF reviews by your signature don’t worry I do too. Most people on this website I bet look at WHF reviews and have signatures to prove it.

That’s the way with any primarily subjective reviews. You can can look at sites that publish objective test results and, a plethora of graphs and figures but, does that really tell you how things actually sound? I think not. Use reviews as a rough guide, use your own ears, to make the final judgement.

Absolutely.

They do review Android but always to give them poor reviews. The Galaxy Note came in for brutal treatment until Cr-Apple started making a tablet. The same will happen with folding phones.
With you on the reviews. Waste of time. The forum is generally fun though.

I don't.....

I take your point, though turntables very much come under the heading of hi-fi. Re diversifying, if I bought a magazine called "What Cat" I would not expect it to cover dogs.

Going back a few years - which probably means a decade or more now! - WHF was What Hifi Sound & Vision! Then they reverted to WHF because we all kinda understood that cinema sound, personal listening, iems, phones, etc. are all viable modes of entertainment.

I was a devoted stereo listener for many years. But recently, the flexibility offered by Amazon Echo, and streaming YouTube on the telly, has opened up the opportunity to enjoy programmes, podcasts, and vlogs I would not have considered beforehand.

New to this site but not to hi-fi, since I assembled my first setup in the 1970s. It's disappointing but amusing to find TV and, god help us, "home cinema " regarded as being included in hi-fi...
I ditched my TV licence years ago since most output is rubbish and I have better things to do; we have an old small TV for watching DVDs.
The latest "awards" thing here actually lists TVs in front of turntables! Good grief. If this reflects popular taste, it's depressing.

I feel exactly the same I hate TV reviews I always skip them, and don't get me started bout phones! I'm honestly thinking of switching the mag to dedicated hifi one! Sorry not sorry 😔

Getting uppity, because some of the content on the site is not of interest to you, just seems bloody silly.

Not the site, the mag!

No it isn't relevant to me! I'm hifi only and TV's are not hifi no matter how you try to dress it up! Each to their own and all that!

I gave-up buying magazines a long time, with access to what interests me so easy online but, if I stopped visiting every site that has some content that doesn't interest me, I would be getting very bored. Having said that, the amount of interesting content, on WHF's main site, is clearly in decline and, I no longer look at it every day.

You are missing the point not web sites the mag! It states what hifi, so what part of that is phones iPads and tv's

If you’re expecting any magazine or website, to only have content that adheres strictly to what is suggested by the title, you are not going to have much to read…

Totally agree. Just to add, the forum remains far more interesting than any hi-fi magazine.
