Focal Dome Flax 5.1 review
There are plenty of ways to land high-quality surround sound, but Focal’s Dome series does things differently. Small yet powerful speaker packages that can setup in almost any room, the Dome Flax are the latest (and priciest). At $2,000, are the Dome Flax worthy of consideration?

You can get a lot of your receiver for your money these days, and Yamaha’s RX-V683 is proof. This workhorse offers tons of features and great performance for a seriously low price. Could this be your next home theater upgrade?
Shure KSE1200 Electrostatic Earphone System review
Shure’s astronomically priced KSE1500 electrostatic earbuds get a reboot of sorts in the KSE1200, which drop the digital-to-analog converter, but keep all the lovely sound for a lot less green.

Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX review
The Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX offer all the gorgeous sound of the much-beloved Sennheiser HD 650, but in a slightly different color, and at a significantly reduced price. If you're after audiophile-grade sound and you're on a budget, these are probably the headphones for you.
Google Chromecast (3rd gen) review
The third-generation Chromecast is still a pretty decent little HD streamer, but HD is getting pretty long in the tooth. That said, the inclusion of Amazon Prime following the truce between Google and Amazon does make this a comprehensive way to stream all major programming, as long as you don't need 4K.
Sony can take back Spider-Man, but this Spidey can never go home again
Sony and Disney's very public dispute over whether Spider-Man will stay in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has huge ramifications for the current iteration of the character. Tom Holland's version is deeply tied to the MCU -- and if Sony wins, everyone loses.
With Samsung dropping the headphone jack, LG is the last stop for audio fans
With Samsung announcing the latest Note 10 and Note 10 Plus are both dropping the headphone jack, the land of phones that let you plug in is becoming increasingly barren.
