There’s upgrading your TV room and then there’s upgrading your TV room. The former involves an inexpensive soundbar that takes the audio onus off your TV’s terrible speakers. The latter: a 5.1-channel audio system with a subwoofer and Dolby Atmos support. (For those unfamiliar with it, here’s why Dolby Atmos is cool.) Wait a second, …

When it was released just over a year ago, the Motorola Moto Z3 Play had a $499 list price. Sure, that included a battery pack, one of various Moto Mods that would magnetically snap onto the backside to enhance the phone’s capabilities, but many still felt it was overpriced. Okay, how about this price: For a limited time, Motorola is …

Samsung’s The Frame is pretty damn cool. It’s a smart TV built to look like a picture frame. It comes with a black bezel (other colors are available separately), a no-gap wall mount and a collection of 100 works of art, which will show onscreen when the TV isn’t doing TV things. You can also upload your own photos (giant digital photo-frame!) …

I typically buy a new laptop every few years, and even though I work from home 98% of the time, there’s one piece of software I always install first thing: LockItTight. If the machine ever gets lost or stolen, it’ll give me a much better chance of tracking it down. And although it’s been around for years, it’s still free. …

Tile took the wraps off a variety of new and updated trackers on Tuesday — perhaps getting out in front of Apple, which is rumored to start offering its own line of such devices. And even though it’s barely a day old, the new Tile Sticker already has a deal designed to drive home its “smart” capabilities: For a limited time, …

I’ve been on something of a cheap-watch jag. Last month I looked at the BingoFit Epic, a surprisingly stylish wearable priced at just $28 (via a promo code that has since expired). Then I tried on the Apple-Watch-lookalike Letsfit ID205, another rather impressive model — especially given its $31.49 price tag (also expired). The key takeaway from these two tests: …

Best Buy, for example, just kicked off a big sale on Sony and Samsung TVs and other home-theater stuff, with guaranteed Black Friday prices. That means if a price goes any lower between now and Black Friday, you’ll …

In his recent review of the EarFun Free true-wireless earphones, David Carnoy called out what he considers a “silly” company name. Me, I like it. Way better than the meaningless and/or made-up likes of Tronsmart, HolyHigh and Sony WF-SP700N. I mention that review because, naming conventions aside, Carnoy found a lot to like about the product, a $40 AirPods alternative. …
