Whoa! The 65
I interrupt your Sunday with what is arguably the best TV deal of 2019: An Amazon seller just lopped another $200 off “the best value TV of 2018.” For a limited time, and while supplies last, the TCL 6 Series 65R617 65-inch Roku TV is just $499. Previous price: $699, itself a new low. Before that, it had been holding steady …

JBL’s pint
Last week I heaped praise on the JBL Stage A170 tower speakers, but I also had the much smaller Stage A130 bookshelf speakers on hand, so I cracked open the box to see how the two JBLs compare. They share the same 1-inch aluminum tweeter set into a waveguide that focuses the high-frequency dispersion, but while the A170 has two …

Galaxy S10 5G, OnePlus 7 Pro LG V50 ThinQ 5G: Why you shouldn’t rush to buy a 5G phone
At a Mobile World Congress keynote panel in late February on the timing of 5G devices, Qualcomm President Cristiano Amon declared with confidence, “The phones are ready; we’re just waiting for the networks.” About an hour later, in a briefing room a mere 10 feet below that keynote hall, AT&T Chief Technology Officer Andre Fuetsch told CNET, “The issue is …

The Massdrop X Fostex TR
Fostex is a high-end consumer and pro sound Japanese company but its spotty distribution in the US has made availability a “sometimes” thing. That’s not a concern with the Massdrop X Fostex TR-X00 Purpleheart headphones, so I requested a review pair.

Nintendo’s Tertris 99 battle royale game for its Switch console may soon have a mobile doppelgänger: Tetris Royale.
