Audio & portable power

Chris Thomas built SoundGuys from a blog into one of the most measurement-driven audio review sites on the web, serving as its executive editor from 2017 to 2022 and now running its data, testing, and research as editor-at-large. He is also head of product testing for Android Authority. On TrueAction he owns the audio and portable-power beat, headphones, earbuds, speakers, power banks, and chargers, judging each on measured noise-cancelling depth, codec support, and the real watt-hours and watts a device delivers, not the number on the box.

For TrueAction, Chris covers the gear you listen and charge with: active noise cancellation that holds up outside a quiet room, the codecs that actually matter for your phone, and the power banks and chargers whose real output lands well below the printed rating. He leans on measurements over impressions and says plainly when a cheaper pick gets you most of the way. The scoring behind that sits in our testing standards.
