What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision was a monthly magazine published by Haymarket Consumer Media. It featured articles on hi-fi, home cinema, television, video games, sound, computers and gadgets. What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision claimed to be "the world's leading independent guide to buying and owning home cinema". These editions ceased publication in December 2015, transferring back to the standard "What Hi-Fi" magazine format.
The magazine had nine international editions with Haymarket claiming its readership was above one million.[1] WhatHiFi.com has a comprehensive library of audio and video hardware reviews, plus news and opinion from the editorial team.
To accompany the regular issues, What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision regularly produced "Ultimate Guides", and once a year released the Awards issue in which it rewarded products in various categories. This has now transferred to the standard "What Hi-Fi" magazine.
