Apple has announced a new, supposedly improved, second-generation HomePod Smart Speaker. The announcement comes just a day after the reveal of the new MacBook and Mac mini, continuing Apple’s recent trend of rolling out revised products on the heels of its keynote. The revamped HomePod is the first update to the full-sized model
Experience what Yamaha calls “True Sound” with the combination of the newly released R-N2000A network receiver and NS-2000A floorstanding 3-way speaker. As part of Yamaha’s True Sound, internal components of each address a trio of aural concepts: tonal balance, sound image, and sound dynamics. The
It’s hard to feel inspired when considering the soundbar landscape. In most cases, you simply get a wide, black box that’s designed to sit near your TV. You connect the soundbar to your home entertainment system and expect to be treated to an elevated audio experience—and for the most part, it delivers.

Well, if you want to inject a healthy dose of surprise and excitement into your
From entry level to high end, there’s no shortage of soundbars on the market. Each promises to deliver an elevated audio experience compared to your TV’s built-in speakers.

Thankfully, brands like Bowers & Wilkins, often referred to as B&W, offer solutions that not only you allow you to bypass your TV’s speakers, but let you turn the experience up a notch and enjoy high-resolution multi-channel sound.

When I was asked to test the new 2nd Generation Sonos Beam, I was excited to see how much soundbar technology has advanced since my last review. With its short width, I was concerned it wouldn’t offer as broad a soundstage as my soundbar or the soundbar I reviewed a couple of years ago―which was a 5.1-channel soundbar system―but as you’ll read, I had nothing to worry about. Whether through driver design, positioning, or other technology, the

Not every specification for the products that B&H Photo sells requires a secret decoder ring. We all know what height, width, length, and weight are. Photographers are familiar with megapixels and ISO ranges. However, there is one specification that pops up across many product lines that you might not be familiar with: IP Rating.
You will find the “IP Rating” specification on products like hard and waterproof cases,
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.
Polk Audio recently announced that B&H will be carrying its Signature E series speakers, the European-tuned, whitewashed walnut versions of its Signature series. A rarity in the United States, these speakers feature a slightly different frequency response from their North American cousins, and other than the white finish, feature the same design.
Starting with the bookshelf speakers, each of which are sold as a pair, the
With so many speakers on the market, it’s always intriguing to see a new company doing something fresh with their monitors.

No matter what sort of audio madness you make in the safety of your studio, you can benefit from a stellar solution for the pesky problems encountered once you're "out of the box." With that in mind, Dangerous Music—highly regarded by discerning minds and ears—has released the D-BOX+ monitor controller and summing mixer for display and demonstration at NAMM 2019. Built upon the success of the original D-BOX, the USA-
So much at CES focuses on what you see and hear. Some of the very best products can also evoke an emotional response. When listening to great speakers, not only should you expect them to sound good, but they should also be able to immerse you in the experience; and if you're really lucky, provide a few goose bumps along the way. At the end of your listening session, you should be able to recall how the experience made you feel just as clearly as the music or movie soundtrack itself.
Sound dramatic? If you experienced SVS's demos at CES this
You could spend the better part of your days comparing speakers in search of the “best.” Even within a single manufacturer’s product line, there are subtle and obvious variations between speakers. Some of those variances are visible while others are guarded in the secret scrolls of specifications. With prices ranging from hundreds to many thousands of dollars, all those differences must matter, right? Yes! As you might suspect, some details matter more than others. Understanding how a speaker’s specs affect its performance is crucial to
