As a general rule, you can have Bluetooth speakers or you can have speakers that sound great; it’s rare that you can get both at the same time. That’s what’s so remarkable about the Dynaudio Xeo 2 wireless bookshelf speakers: they sound amazing — good enough to satisfy audiophiles and serve as speakers for active …

I’ve barely gotten past writing the headline, and I’m already weirdly uncomfortable with the number of times I’ve written the word “peephole.” Nonetheless, what we’re seeing is perhaps Ring at its most clever — instead of rewiring your old doorbell or drilling into the wood frame of your door, the Peephole Cam goes squarely in the middle of the door …

Cheap AirPods are back. We’ve been frequent passengers on the AirPods roller coaster price ride for months now, watching the AirPods with the standard charging case routinely dip down into $130 territory. But right now, you can get second-generation AirPods with a charging case for just $115 — that’s $44 off the regular $159 price tag. Of course, when the …

Forget about carrying a bag full of USB chargers and AC adapters — it’s the 21st Century, and if you have a collection of relatively recent gadgets, you can probably keep them all topped off with a single charger. Many modern laptops — like  MacBooks, the HP Spectre, Dell XPS and Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 — can be charged through …

Here’s the scenario: The big game is in a few hours and all you have to watch it on is a tiny 42-inch TV. Like some sort of caveman. Well, fear not: There’s still time to close the deal on a new 65-inch set and have it ready in time for kickoff. Over at Best Buy, I found the TCL …

Getting a personal trainer is an expensive proposition — I know, because I’ve done it. If you think the time is right for an affordable AI personal trainer that can learn about you and customize workouts to your needs and abilities, well, you might be right. Back in 2016, the Vi hit Kickstarter and collected almost $1.7 million to make …

Tomorrow is Groundhog Day, when America observes a bizarre annual ritual in which we’ve collectively agreed that if a burrowing rodent sees its shadow, we’ll be subjected to six more weeks of winter. No shadow, on the other hand, means an early spring. No matter which way the magical marmot leans, there’re still enough cold days ahead that you might …

Stud-finders are just the worst. In my experience, they tend to beep more or less at random, never sounding off in the same spot more than once. Sinking a nail into my wall is generally more faith than science. A better option: an in-wall imager, which uses radar to paint a picture of the inside of your wall on a …

I was just reminiscing with Cheapskate Rick — this might date both of us, but we remember the days when buying a printer was a sizable investment. I bought more than a few printers that cost north of $600, for example. Of course, these days, printers rarely cost much more than the value of the replacement ink. Case in point: …

Update: As originally noted, Best Buy’s flash sale prices ended overnight. For other deals right now, check out Best TV deals for the big game and CNET’s Cheapskate page . My mom used to say that “the best surprises are the ones you don’t expect.” I always wondered if she stole that from Yogi Berra, but here’s a surprise you didn’t expect, and one …
