Does Sonos have Wi-Fi headphones on deck, as rumored? Maybe, but today it’s introducing the Sonos Roam, its smallest and — at $169 (£159, AU$279) — most affordable speaker to date. The ultraportable model, which was leaked in recent days, weighs just less than a pound (0.43kg) — or about one-sixth the weight of its earlier Move …

When it comes to gaming, speakers are second best. To really immerse yourself in the game, you need to wrap the sound around your ears with headphones. An integrated mic for multiplayer gaming is also table stakes for a gaming headset, but if you can get extras like LED lighting, well, that’s gravy. Most gaming headsets tend to start around …

Even if you’re suffering from streaming-service overload, this is a deal that deserves a look. For a limited time, you can get four months of NBC’s Peacock Premium for just $10. That works out to $2.50 a month, or half the regular price (which was already a pretty solid deal). See it at Peacock As always with promotions like this, …

It’s a new month, so presumably, it’s time for a new sale at Best Buy, a retailer that has more sales than a six-mast schooner (and yes, I am aware that pun doesn’t work because sail is spelled differently). This time around, Best Buy is having a three-day sale that started Friday night and runs through the end of today. …

With my parents scheduled to get the vaccine, the world feels tantalizingly close to opening up again. That means I’m thinking about some long-overdue trips. If you’re in the same boat, then you might be in the market for upgrading your old luggage. The timing is good, because right now you can save 15% on items sitewide at Paravel when …

Audio glasses are quickly becoming a thing. Last year Bose followed its original Frames with three second-generation models, including the sporty Tempo Fames, and Amazon is selling the second-generation of its Echo Frames while plenty of others, like Razer, are now jumping in on the “smart” glasses action. The Razer Anzer, which comes in round and square versions in two …

It went down like this: The folks at Soundpeats invited me to try their new (at the time) Truengine 3 SE earbuds, noting that “some reviewers claim they’re better than Samsung …

There are some obsessions that defy explanation. Why, for example, own a tabletop or wall-mounted weather station when you already have access to a weather forecast via your watch, phone, tablet, smart speaker and computer? Because weather is cool. (No, that’s not supposed to be a pun.) I’ve had some sort of Oregon Scientific weather station in my home for …

Some of the best features of Apple’s AirPods may soon come to non-Apple Bluetooth headphones, thanks to a push by Qualcomm.  One of the biggest benefits of using AirPods Pro or Beats headphones with iPhones, iPads and other Apple devices, reviewers say, is that they “just work.” The earbuds pair quickly with Apple products, they automatically switch between a user’s iPhone and Mac, and …

Amid Apple’s and Google’s legal battles with Fortnite maker Epic Games over the future of how their app stores work, Arizona legislators advanced proposed rules Wednesday that could upend that debate and change how apps work on iPhones and Android-powered devices.
