Audio Science Review
Audio Science Review (ASR) is a science-based discussion forum publishing independent reviews of audio equipment such as loudspeakers, amplifiers, and other digital and analog audio devices.

ASR was founded in February 2016 by Amir Majidimehr (amirm), who resides in the area of Seattle, Washington in the USA. He was Vice President of Microsoft's Digital Media Division until retiring in 2008. He is an electrical engineer by degree and hobby, with professional experience including software and signal processing, such as the development of audio codecs.

As of June 2021, ASR has approximately 2.8 million visitors per month, 20,000 threads, 795,000 messages and 24,000 members. The website is funded solely by its founder and member donations. 

Using industry standard electronic test and analysis equipment, ASR initially focused on evaluating the performance of desktop audio equipment such as digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and headphone amplifiers. Reviews have since expanded into many other kinds of home audio and professional audio equipment, provided largely by forum members and some manufacturer submissions.

Audio equipment testing using measurement based methods is contentious. Though ASR advocates for evaluations based on established peer-reviewed studies in electronics, signal processing, acoustics and psychoacoustics, it’s own practices are sometimes questionable.

In 2020, ASR became notable for independently publishing comprehensive loudspeaker performance measurements according to the CTA/CEA-2034 standard.
