How do I get a job as a headphone reviewer?


I'm partially disabled and have a hard time with most jobs, but I can work a little part-time especially if it's low stress.

I've had high-end equipment, especially headphones, for 20 years. I'm also an amateur musician and have an analytical and music-oriented "ear." It occurred to me... maybe I could be a reviewer. Maybe it would be a nice part time side gig. But how do reviewers get their jobs? 

I live in a small apartment and don't have a place for speakers with any kind of good room set-up... so it would have to be headphones I review, or headphone amps, also DACs, computer audio, and that kind of thing.

You can just contact the publisher/editor via email for sites like Soundstage, Part Time Audiophile, Stereonews.net, etc. and tell them you’re interested in reviewing headphones and a bit about your audio experience/equipment.  They’ll probably ask for a writing sample, or in my case they just had me write a review of one of my components and that’s how I got started.  Hope this helps, and best of luck.
