High-end luxury hotels may differ a bit in the spa products they offer, the room service menu they serve, or the turndown service they provide, but when it comes to their audio system, there seems to be one rather ubiquitous product. Meet sonoro audio, a German audio system purveyor known for its beautiful design and quality sound. Found in hotels like the St. Regis, Hopper, Roomers, and W Hotels, sonoro is quickly establishing itself as a must-have on a five-star checklist.

While you might find a number of different sonoro products across hotel rooms in America and abroad, each system is uniquely encased in wooden housing, which promises to enhance the acoustics of the speakers. And while sonoro is a high-tech solution, it promises to be easy to use for hotel guests — each sonoro feature is accessible with the touch of a single, illustrated button, the company says.

You can tune into local radio stations via a sonoro system, or if you’d rather, you can also wirelessly connect a smartphone, laptop, or tablet to the music system, and enjoy your favorite tunes in surround sound. And with a number of features designed specifically with hotels in mind, sonoro promises that the guest experience will be amplified by their sound system. For example, the self-dimming display of the audio system allows for undisturbed sleep, as does a volume limitation feature that ensures guests next door won’t be roused by a raucous party. And with alarms that are reset every 24 hours, sonoro is prepared for the high turnover rate of luxury hotel rooms.

While sonoro audio has long been a mainstay in European markets, many American consumers have yet to experience this sound system outside of hotel rooms. But perhaps one of the most American consumer-ready products to come out of the German line is the Cubo, which combines the now retro idea of a CD player with a modern twist. This bedside system features an upward-facing speaker, and allows users to enjoy the radio (both AM/FM and the internet variety), their dust-gathering CD collection, or of course, their own iTunes playlist (which can be streamed via bluetooth).

“We believe the Cubo’s superior design and sound system will appeal to a number of audiences throughout the U.S. market, from audio aficionados to health-conscious consumers and design enthusiasts,” said Marcell Faller, founder and CEO of sonoro audio. So if you’re looking to take that hotel experience to your bedroom, you may want to check out sonoro audio and its extensive line of sound systems.

How to format the microSD card on Tapo security cameras
The Tapo C120 out in the rain.

One of the most compelling features of Tapo products (like the Wire-Free 2K Outdoor Cam and Indoor/Outdoor Cam) is support for local storage. Many Tapo security cameras let you install a microSD card, so you don't have to rely on cloud storage to save all your videos – instead, they're neatly stored right on your camera. Before you can start using local storage, however, you'll need to format your microSD card. Tapo has some pretty strict requirements for how this works, but the process itself is remarkably simple.

Ready to start saving all your video clips locally? Here's how to format the microSD card on your Tapo security camera.

Blink Mini 2 vs. Ring Stick Up Cam Pro: Which is the best security camera?
The Ring Stick Up Cam Pro on display the 2023 Amazon Fall Devices and Services event.

The Blink Mini 2 is one of the cheapest security cameras you can buy. It's pretty well-rounded too. It's capable of filming in HD and offering support for outdoor use when paired with an optional accessory, making it a great choice for shoppers on a budget. That makes it wildly different from the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro, which carries a hefty price tag and supports both indoor and outdoor use right out of the box without the need to purchase a secondary accessory.

But is the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro a better investment than the affordable Blink Mini 2? From pricing and video resolution to the installation process and additional features, here's a look at the Blink Mini 2 and Ring Stick Up Cam Pro to help you decide which is the best choice for your home.
