Ethics Policy - Pro Musicshop

Who we are

Pro Musicshop is the editorial review desk of Musicshop, Singapore's audio specialists. We test sound systems, PA speakers, microphones, studio monitors, headphones and home-audio gear hands-on and publish honest verdicts to help you choose. We are part of the Musicshop family and open about it, and this page sets out exactly how we work and how we make money.

How we test and rank

Every ranking on this site is the desk's own hands-on judgement. We set gear up, push it in real Singapore rooms, and rate it on how it actually performs. No brand pays for a place in a list, a score, or a favourable write-up, and no manufacturer sees a review before it is published. When a product is not worth buying, we say so.

How we make money

Pro Musicshop is funded by the Musicshop store. The "Shop at Musicshop" and "Check price" links on our reviews point to the Musicshop online store, and we may earn from sales made through them. As participants in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, we may also earn from qualifying purchases made through some links. These commercial relationships keep the site free to read. They do not change a ranking or a verdict: the gear is judged on merit first, and the buy links are added afterwards.

Our relationship with Musicshop

Because we are Musicshop's review desk, we naturally point you to the Musicshop store to buy the gear we recommend. We do not claim to be an outside, unaffiliated publication. What we do promise is that the testing is real and the opinions are our own: a product does not earn a good score because Musicshop stocks it, and being sold at Musicshop is never a reason for a higher ranking.

Review units and corrections

We sometimes test pre-release or loaned units from manufacturers or distributors. These are returned or disclosed, and accepting one never guarantees coverage or a positive review. If we get a fact wrong, tell us and we will correct it promptly.

Questions

Have a question about how we work, or think we have got something wrong? We would like to hear it. Being straight with you about what we test, how we rank, and how we earn is the whole point of this page.
