Vizio 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos soundbar review
Vizio 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos soundbar review
Soundbars with true Dolby Atmos surround sound have historically been a rich man’s game, often costing well over $1,000. Vizio’s new 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos soundbar undercuts similar competitors by hundreds of dollars, so we spent some quality time with the system to find out if it can hold its own.

Yamaha’s latest soundbar is all about multiroom audio, offering multiple ways to play including creating your own surround sound system using MusicCast speakers.

Mobvoi Ticpods Free review
Mobvoi Ticpods Free review
With silicone eartips, water resistance, and a more palatable price tag, Mobvoi’s Ticpods Free are impressive AirPod doppelgangers. But for all the great things they have going for them, there’s one thing that’s still holding them back from shaking the AirPods’ stronghold on the market.
TiVo Bolt OTA for antenna hands-on review
TiVo Bolt OTA for antenna hands-on review
Free over-the-air programming isn’t available in 4K, so why would you want a 4K OTA DVR? We’ll discuss what makes the new TiVo Bolt OTA a viable choice for cord-cutters with 4K UHD TVs who want to get ahead of the game. With a cheaper starting price than its previous OTA DVR, and a much faster interface, this could be the best OTA receiver on the market.

Google Pixel USB-C earbuds review
Google Pixel USB-C earbuds review

LG Tone Platinum SE review
LG Tone Platinum SE review

Jabra Elite Active 65t review: Spring for this upgrade
Our favorite fully wireless headphones have gained a small but hyper-usable upgrade, adding excellent sweat-proofing for a small price bump. But are Jabra’s new Elite Active 65t in-ears worth the dough, or are the originals good enough for all but the most hardcore workout enthusiasts?

Samsung Q900 85-inch 8K QLED TV hands-on review
Samsung Q900 85-inch 8K QLED TV hands-on review
Samsung gave us a day to put its Q900 85-inch 8K TV to the test, and we did our level best to poke holes in its performance. In the end, the TV proved it is worthy of its existence, even if 8K content is nowhere to be seen. The secret is in the upscaling, and Samsung’s unique take on this process sold us.
Astell & Kern SP1000M hands-on review
Astell & Kern SP1000M hands-on review
Astell & Kern have launched the SP1000M music player, which despite the similar name, is not only smaller, lighter, and cheaper than the SP1000 music player; but the company claims it sounds better too. An impossible formula? We tried one out to see if it’s true.

Best known for its battery chargers, Anker has expanded into audio in a big way in recent years with its Soundcore lineup, including Bluetooth speakers, headphones, and soundbars.

Premium audio brand Master and Dynamic has taken aim at the more elegant (and higher-rolling) side of the true wireless headphone market with its new MW07 model, designed for those who are after gorgeous looks and the best possible sound.

Bowers and Wilkins PX review
Bowers and Wilkins PX review
Noise cancellation doesn’t have to ruin sound quality, and Bowers and Wilkins proves it with the PX headphones. In our PX review we matched the company’s first noise-canceling cans against the top options from Bose and Sony to see if they slay the competition, or whether you should save a few bucks to cop a pair of less-stylish headphones.
