Every year, EISA (the Expert Imaging and Sound Association) brings together specialist magazines and websites from across Europe, including this one, to agree on the best new products in imaging, sound and vision. The result is the EISA Awards, and the 2026-2027 edition has just been finalised: 79 winners across Hi-Fi, Home Theatre & Vision and In-Car Electronics alone, plus separate award slates for Mobile Devices and Photography. For a magazine built around high-end audio and home cinema, this is the single most useful shortlist of the year: a jury-tested list of what’s actually worth auditioning, organised by exactly the categories our readers care about.
A few results stand out immediately. DALI walks away with four separate EISA Awards 2026-2027 wins, spanning compact loudspeakers, subwoofers, lifestyle systems and a full loudspeaker series. CANVAS HiFi’s CANVAS L, the self-styled “world’s first audiophile soundbar,” takes the Premium Soundbar award. And Argon Audio’s BERLIN SUB 10, covered on this site just this week, picks up Best Buy Subwoofer, the Danish brand’s first EISA Award. Below is the complete breakdown, category by category.
What EISA Is and Why the EISA Awards 2026-2027 Matter
EISA is an independent association of specialist magazines and websites from across Europe, working together in expert groups covering Hi-Fi, Home Theatre & Vision, In-Car Electronics, Mobile Devices and Photography. Each group tests and debates products throughout the year before voting on a winner per category, and the EISA Awards 2026-2027 badge that follows is one of the few recognitions in consumer electronics that isn’t bought, sponsored or self-nominated. For readers trying to cut through marketing claims, the list below is effectively a buying guide vetted by an entire continent’s worth of specialist press.
Hi-Fi: The Full EISA Awards 2026-2027 Winners List
The Hi-Fi expert group covers 37 categories this year, from entry-level integrated amplifiers to statement turntables. DALI leads the pack with four wins: the KUPID compact loudspeaker, the SUB V-16 F premium subwoofer, the VEGA lifestyle music system and the SONIK loudspeaker series. Elsewhere, familiar high-end names such as Wilson Audio, SME and MOON sit alongside value-focused picks like NAD’s C 3030 and Pro-Ject’s Uni Box S3, a reminder that the EISA Awards 2026-2027 span the full price spectrum rather than just flagship gear.

Beyond the Expert Groups
EISA also runs a Mobile Devices group (9 awards, covering smartphones, tablets, wearables and portable audio) and a Photography group (23 awards, covering cameras, lenses and imaging software). Both sit outside this magazine’s usual Hi-Fi and home cinema focus, so we haven’t reproduced them in full here; the complete lists for every EISA Awards 2026-2027 category are available on the official EISA website.
Pricing and availability
The EISA Awards 2026-2027 are a recognition, not a product launch, so there’s no single price or release date attached to the list as a whole. Most winners are already shipping or arriving within weeks of the announcement; brand-specific pricing and availability are covered in our dedicated articles, including DALI’s four EISA Awards for 2026-2027, CANVAS L and Argon Audio’s BERLIN SUB 10 and BERLIN SUB 12. For the full, official rundown of every EISA Awards 2026-2027 category, including Mobile Devices and Photography, visit the official EISA website.
