Apple’s HomePod smart speaker review
With the HomePod, we’re really reviewing two things at once: a premium speaker and a smart home hub. In the former category, the HomePod is excellent, with amazing sound and incredibly intuitive set-up.

Beats Powerbeats Pro Review
The Powerbeats Pro are not bass-heavy the way other Beats headphones and earphones have been known to be. I’ve spent more than 30 full hours at least 8 hours per day since I got these. Listening to a wide variety of music, much of which was recommended to me via Spotify. If you can overlook […]

JBL Live 650BTNC review
The JBL Live 650BTNC offers good noise-cancellation, battery life, comfort, and features for a great price. We came away impressed at the well-rounded package JBL put together here and highly recommend it those who don’t want to splurge on the flagship Bose.
