2024 has brought us everything from reimagined classics to twisty thrillers to jaw-dropping performances, and it sometimes felt impossible to narrow down this list. Your savvy reviews and ratings got us started, and then our team hashed it out from there, debating and advocating for our favourites. The result? An obsessively curated list of 24 top picks that shine in audio. We hope you’ll love these listens as much as we do.
