They arrived on my doorstep nestled in a cardboard box—two Bowers & Wilkins 606 S2 Anniversary Edition Speakers, offered on loan for review. These bookshelf speakers are geared for hi-fi enthusiasts who might not have the wherewithal to go full “rabbit hole” on the pursuit.

What do the words “OLED,” “4K,” and “HDR” mean for you as a consumer, and do they live up to the hype in this LG CXPUA 55" HDR Smart OLED TV? Doug answers these questions and more in this video. Would you add this LG OLED TV to your home theater or gaming setup?

This isn’t the article I planned to write when I was offered an opportunity to review the new Arc from Sonos. Soundbars aren’t a new concept, in fact this is Sonos’s 4th-generation model following the highly lauded PLAYBAR, the

If you don't know about virtual reality and what it has to offer, you soon will. Virtual reality and VR entertainment is making a leap forward in the next decade, and that has a great deal to do with VR headsets such as the Oculus Quest—one of the best VR headsets to debut in recent years. Oculus is offering three headsets this holiday season: the entry-level

My speaker system was a mess, but when Sonos released its portable Move speaker, I was comforted. You see, not only do I have some high-end legacy gear that I refuse to part with, but I was also an early smart-speaker adopter (perhaps too early) and most recently, a Sonos owner. I’ve adjusted and learned which system works best for certain situations. Of course, no one was happier than I was when Sonos rolled out Alexa- and

The Lenovo Smart Display 7 is a device after my own heart. Its modern design, intuitive functionality, and practical application are the first qualities I look for in a good a piece of consumer tech. Recently, I got to spend a couple days with the Smart Display 7 and was thoroughly pleased with the entire experience—so much so, I’m picking the Smart Display 7 as one of my top tech gifts of the season. Here’s why.

When I was asked recently if I wanted to do a hands-on review of a VIZIO Quantum Dot LED TV, I didn’t want to appear too eager. I am, after all, a professional… but it’s certainly not an everyday occurrence to be asked to take home such a lavish piece of equipment. VIZIO decided to let me try the P659-G1, and I was excited for the opportunity to upgrade from my plasma, at least temporarily. Going into my review process, I wanted to focus

Apple makes good stuff. At least I think so. Enough that I have an iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and iMac in my house and have recently been gifted an Apple TV to help finish out the set. The only thing missing was a HomePod, until a Black Friday sale made it too tempting to pass up. Ever since, I have come to love it as the core of my somewhat smart home.
Plenty of people will make fair arguments as to why the HomePod isn’t worth it—and

In the hazy fog of ancient history, yours truly was among the millions of kids who rode their bikes to pizzerias and arcades to play video games. Yes, physically travelling to wait your turn and maybe play a handful of games. So, when the 2nd-gen consoles hit, you can imagine the shock that came with realizing we could now play games at home whenever we wanted, and for as long as we wanted. That’s a lot of saved quarters. Of the pack, Nolan Bushnell’s Atari 2600 was the king so, of course, my parents bought me an Intellivision. Sigh.

Like most people, I wasn’t in a huge rush to upgrade to a 4K TV. The resolution bump didn’t really feel the same as the standard to high-definition move. Plus, I didn’t really have any 4K content and my aging Samsung TV was handling my Full HD 1080p content just fine. However, that all changed when I scored an awesome deal in October, trading my launch-day OG Microsoft Xbox One for the more powerful 4K-capable Xbox One X. Then I waited until

Even by its own lofty standards, the Bose® Home Speaker™ 500 is fantastic. The setup, soundstage, and digital assistant support rank as high or higher than the other leading smart speakers. Combine that with stunning looks and arguably the most user-friendly app on the market, and it’s fair to judge the Bose Home Speaker 500 as the best overall smart speaker available today.

Even though it was released in February, the Apple HomePod isn’t exactly a new product. According to a recent report in Bloomberg, some version of the HomePod has been in development since 2012. Back then, the speaker market was a different arena, with a different set of standards—most of which focused on sound. In 2018, however, speakers—particularly “smart speakers”—are judged on a longer list of criteria, from sound quality to

Wouldn't it be great to have Amazon's Alexa built into a Sonos speaker? Well, they've done it—Sonos has just unveiled the new Sonos One. Featuring the same footprint as its popular PLAY:1 speaker, the digital-assistant-enabled Sonos One is available in black or white and uses an integrated six-microphone array with far-field voice technology—which is

When I was given the assignment to do a hands-on review of a VIZIO SmartCast wireless soundbar system, the SB4551-D5, I was a bit apprehensive. I’ve always considered myself a bit old school when it comes to home theater; I’m used to the receiver doing its job routing the video signals and amplifying the audio, and the speakers doing their job moving air. Based on this idea of a division of functions, and earlier unreliability of

In my humble opinion, there have been three things keeping OLED TVs from reaching the maximum fandom they deserve in the consumer space—price, a sales pitch, and availability. For starters, OLED TVs are expensive. While it’s easy to argue that premium performance demands a premium price tag, an argument I’ve made more than once, you need the right sales pitch to convince customers to shell out the extra cash. The great thing about selling TVs, especially top-tier ones, is that they don’t require much “selling”—seeing can usually seal the deal
