Founder & lead reviewer
Editorial questions, review submissions, corrections, partnership inquiries - every email gets read by a real human and answered within two business days outside of major review crunches. WhatsApp is fastest for short asks during European working hours. Social DMs are not actively monitored.
Email handles anything substantive, including loaner submissions and corrections. WhatsApp is for quick replies. Social channels are public-facing and best for discussion rather than editorial requests.
Every channel above lands in the same inbox, but a well-structured email speeds up the reply. Use the blocks below as a template for the most common requests. Each covers a different kind of request - pick the one that matches yours.
Include: unit name and manufacturer, suggested retail price, loan window and return shipping arrangement, and a short pitch on why this piece deserves coverage. We reply before anything ships, never guarantee a positive verdict, and do not commit to a publishing date until the listening period is complete. Loaner units are disclosed in the review header.
Include the review URL and the specific factual issue (spec that looks wrong, comparison that is out of date, broken link, misspelled brand or model). Corrections are added to the bottom of the affected review with the date the change shipped, so the change history stays on the page itself.
If anything on the site is hard to use with a keyboard, screen reader, magnifier, voice control, or any assistive technology, please tell us. Include the page URL, what you were trying to do, the assistive technology and browser you were using, and what went wrong. Accessibility reports go to the front of the queue and are answered within the same two business days.
Press releases that name a specific reviewable product are welcome. Well-pitched releases inform the review queue. We do not republish press releases as articles, and the verdict on any unit is independent of how it was announced.
There is none to buy. The Audio Stuff carries no display advertising, no affiliate links, and no sponsored placements, so there is no rate card and no paid placement of any kind. The one thing a manufacturer can offer is a review unit, through the submission route above.
Every writer on the masthead is reachable directly. Use the per-writer channels when the question is specific to a piece they wrote; for everything else, email contact@theaudiostuff.com.
